Qnap Partners With American Dynamics

QNAP Systems, Inc. announced that its high megapixel-optimized VioStor Network Video Recorder (NVR) solutions now support the Illustra HD IP camera lineup offered by American Dynamics, part of the Security Products business unit of Tyco.

With ease of deployment, high video recording quality, efficient control to streamline video surveillance installation and management, this combination is both cost-effective and provides quality for SMBs.

Designed for security applications, the VioStor NVR features server-grade video storage and embedded VMS software delivering performance in a stand-alone network appliance. It offers onboard video storage capacity up to 48TB and handles up to 64 IP cameras with 450Mbps maximum per recorder. Up to 128 channels from multiple stand-alone NVRs can be combined for monitoring on a remote PC server with multi-server edge recording; the VioStor NVR is for working with remote facilities or distributed retail environments, scalable for both large and small installations.

The compatibility of all Illustra 600 Series Mini-Domes and Illustra 400 Indoor Mini-Domes with VioStor NVR is available with VioStor firmware v4.0.0 for all VioStor users. The Mini-Domes are HD cameras that offer 720p and 1080p resolution. The Illustra 600 and 610 models include auto-focus and a motorized zoom lens with a recessed plenum-rated mount to meet indoor environmental standards. The QNAP VioStor NVR provides a surveillance solution for users of the Illustra HD IP camera line.

VioStor NVRs require no PC for both basic installation and surveillance monitoring operations. The Illustra IP camera line includes intuitive auto-configuration software, hands-free remote auto-focus, and zoom capability, including mid-priced megapixel cameras, maximizing the ease of use and deployment for integrators.

"Our integration with QNAP NVR surveillance solutions demonstrates American Dynamics’ commitment to incorporating third party technologies into its portfolio so that customers have access to the most appropriate solutions for their particular applications," said Cheryl Shea, product manager for American Dynamics. "This integration enables QNAP VioStor NVR users to leverage Illustra’s high quality, high resolution and low cost of ownership by easily adding Illustra cameras for new or expanded surveillance deployments."

"The tight system compatibility with American Dynamics gives QNAP customers access to Illustra’s exceptional HD video quality in all lighting conditions," said Kent Chung, product manager of QNAP Security. "Our partnership leverages QNAP’s expertise in storage and video management and American Dynamics’ strength in high-quality image recording to offer users this ‘best of breed’ solution for networked video surveillance systems."

Illustra cameras with VioStor NVR integration are available through American Dynamics’ worldwide distribution channels.
