Pelco NET300 Video Encoder Decoder
[NET300T]

Pelco NET300 Encoder and Decoder can be used in three ways:

Standalone
– as a transmitter or receiver for a camera where BNC cable is not possible. This allows one-way video transmission for fixed cameras or the option of sending control signals to aSpectra dome or Esprit positioning system.

Analog to Ethernet “Bridge”
– as a way of using one or more Pelco NET300s connected to a system of Pelco matrices or Genex multiplexers to view video from a vast number of camera analog inputs. In this application the analog device is being used as a “concentrator” to allow viewing of hundreds of cameras without incurring the cost of hundreds of encoders.

Complete Ethernet System
– as a way of controlling an unlimited number of cameras via Pelco NET300s by using Pelco’s VMX series of matrix control software in a purely Ethernet or hybrid system. Ethernet systems involve using an encoder with each camera and using the Ethernet as a virtual matrix. This is cost efficient for new installations or add-ons to existing installations. Using the VMX300 as control software for existing systems as well as new Ethernet portions allows the user to build the industry’s only truly “hybrid” CCTV system.

The Pelco NET300 Encoder/Decoder can display video on a PC using Internet Explorer, an analog monitor, or both. PelcoNet transmits (NET300T) or receives (NET300R) live video and data across existing Ethernet networks. Sending video over computer networks yields significant cost savings by using an existing computer network to monitor a remote site.
  The Pelco NET300 saves installation costs (no separate cabling required), allows toll-free operation (intranets), and saves management costs (single, uniform network). With minimal setup, the Pelco NET300 transmission system can be installed and running in minutes.
  When using a NET300T and a NET300R, connect a security camera to a transmitter and an analog monitor to a receiver. Then connect the transmitter and receiver to the network and configure IP addresses for the equipment using a standard terminal program or any Internet browser. If you need to control a camera (operate pan, tilt, and lens functions, or do presets and patterns), an RS-232/422/485 data interface links the keyboard controls to the network and then from the network to the camera system.
  Instead of (or in addition to) a receiver and monitor, an Internet browser can be used at the receiving end to display video on a PC. On-screen keyboards in the Pelco NET300 let you control the following
devices over the network: System 9700 Series or CM6700/CM6800 matrix controller, Genex multiplexers, Spectra domes, and Esprit positioning systems.
  The Pelco NET300T, featuring dual MPEG-4 video streams, lets you use computer networks to interface your control and monitoring stations with remote camera sites, whether they are in the same building, across the country, or around the world.
