Pelco NET350 Video Encoder Decoder
[NET350T]

Pelco NET350 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 a Spectra dome or Esprit positioning system.

Analog to Ethernet “Bridge”
– as a way of using one or more Pelco NET350s 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 NET350s 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 camera system.

  The Pelco NET350 can display video on a PC using Internet Explorer, an analog monitor, or both. PelcoNet transmits (NET350T) or receives (NET350R) live video, data, and audio across existing Ethernet networks. Sending video and audio over computer networks yields significant cost savings by using an existing computer network to monitor a remote site.
  The NET350 by Pelco saves installation costs (no separate cabling required), allows toll-free operation (intranets), and saves management costs (single, uniform network). With minimal setup, the NET350 transmission system can be installed and running in minutes. When using a NET350T and a NET350R, connect a 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 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 Internt browser can be used at the receiving end to display video on a PC. Onscreen keyboards in the Pelco NET350 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. All recordings can be stored locally using a CompactFlash card or miniature disk drive (up to 1 GB capacity).
  The Pelco NET350T, featuring CompactFlash and 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.
