Toshiba introduces the IPS-30-30-3 NVR. The EASIEST way to create a high-performance, totally networked video surveillance system with no additional camera licenses and no headaches – just pure convenience.

The new Toshiba IPS-30-30-3 NVR is the easiest way to create a highperformance, totally networked video surveillance system. It records up to 30 IP network cameras at 640 x 480 resolution for up to 30 days at a reliable 3 frames per second per camera. And it is fully compatible with Toshiba cameras or those from a variety of other manufacturers. No additional camera licenses. No headaches. Just pure convenience.

Toshiba Bullet Camera Line-Up Now Includes Analog and Network Versions

Bullet cameras have fast become one of the most popular and versatile of all surveillance cameras. Smaller than traditional security cameras, bullet cameras are for installation in outdoor and indoor applications. Many feature infrared capabilities for night vision to prevent intruders from entering homes, businesses, schools and dozens of other high-risk security environments. Always the innovator, Toshiba is now providing it customers a full line of bullet cameras to choose from by adding both analog and IP network cameras. On the IP side, there is the new Toshiba IK-WB70A. This outdoor IP network bullet camera has a rugged weatherproof IP66-rated housing that protects it from rain, dust and extreme environments. By integrating weatherproofing, the IK-WB70A is a complete network video solution that operates without the need for additional accessories. It comes equipped with day-night imaging and IR illuminators that extend visibility up to 49-feet in complete darkness, as well as a wide dynamic range CMOS 1/3.3-inch sensor to cope with high-contrast lighting conditions. Up to ten authorized viewers can access the camera’s live video feeds simultaneously to extend monitoring capability, with or without connecting to a PC. That’s because the IK-WB70A is one of the first surveillance cameras to support 3GPP Mobile Surveillance, enabling the remote viewing of video on compatible Internet-ready phones or PDAs. The camera streams HTTPS encrypted video at 30 frames-per-second at resolutions as high as 640 x 480. For analog camera needs, Toshiba has the new IK-7100A Series of day/night color bullet cameras. The two cameras in the series have identical feature-sets except for lenses. The IK-7100A-3.6 has a 3.6mm lens for a wider sight range, while the IK-7100A-8 has a 8.0mm lens for mid-range applications. Both offer a powerful combination of infrared LEDs and Day/Night functionality with high resolution 480 TVL to maximize performance in exceptional low light. In addition, Digital Signal Processing was incorporated into the cameras to reduce the degradation of images in lower light. Boasting a weather-resistant IP66 rated metal housing, the new IK-7100A cameras are purpose-engineered for outdoor video security, although they are equally effective indoors. Hardened metal construction of the housing resists corrosion, bad weather and vandalism, while 16 long-range, high-intensity infrared LEDs enhance the performance of the camera in dark conditions where object detection and subject recognition is critical. The 850nm LEDs are invisible to the human eye yet illuminate a clear image at over 30 feet in total darkness. Download the IK-WB70A Series datasheet Download the IK-7100A Series datasheet

Cameras are recorded at their encoded resolution, including super high-resolution megapixel cameras, without degradation in video quality. On-board software provides security administrators with simultaneous recording, playback and remote streaming of live video images retrievable on their remote or local PC, along with comprehensive search capabilities of archives. Microsoft® Windows® XP is embedded as the operating system.

To save space for other critical peripherals Toshiba IPS Series NVRs feature a sleek, black 3U chassis (5.8″ x 17.25″ x 19.5″) that mounts into any standard rack. In addition to a 32-channel version, IPR Series NVRs are available in 16- and 8-channel versions with optional 500 GB, 1TB or 2TB hard-drive storage. Equipped with the Intel® Core™ 2 Quad 2 GHz processor, IPS NVRs efficiently handle multiple megapixel cameras simultaneously, enabling the crystal-clear recording of these bandwidth-demanding devices.

The IPS is exceptionally flexible by design. It lets users define settings on a per camera basis including their resolution, motion detection, alarm recording, and frames-per-second (fps) up to 30 fps per camera. Video can be recorded from both local and global cameras via the Internet, and is stored using efficient MJPEG compression to optimize video storage space. In addition, cameras featuring PAN/TILT/ZOOM can be remotely controllable by the IPS, bringing added versatility throughout the surveillance operation.

“With simplified user setup, the ability to coexist with a variety of other network devices, and powerful processing speeds, our new IPS delivers a real-time solution that makes it possible for locations as diverse as shopping centers or single-family homes to receive the benefits of network video surveillance,” said Sergio Collazo, Director of Sales and Marketing, Toshiba Surveillance & IP Network Video. “IPS technology is a natural complement to our popular networking cameras for capturing, recording and distributing IP surveillance video.”
