Toshiba Surveillance and IP Video Products Group, a business unit of Toshiba Information Systems Inc., has announced the expansion of its Percept family of cloud-connected network video recorders with the addition of the entry-level Percept S-Series NVRs.
The new Percept S-Series NVRs provide users with access to live and saved video clips from the cloud as well as configuring, monitoring, and managing of functions from a standard browser or any Apple or Android mobile device, using just a single sign-on.
“Percept S Series NVRs are ideal for small- to mid-sized businesses requiring 16 or fewer IP cameras and need a true plug-and-play, out of the box ready solution,” says Greg Hartzell, Director of Toshiba Surveillance and IP Video Products Group. “Set up and operation is remarkably easy when used with our Surveillix Web Services. Plus, businesses can choose an affordable Percept S-Series NVR that best suits their needs with models available in 4, 8, and 16 channel versions and up to 12TB of local storage capacity. All models are easily scalable with additional camera licenses.”
According to the company, each S-series recorder includes a 4, 8, or 16ch PoE+ (Power over Ethernet+) switch, eliminating the need for electrical wiring to the cameras. Additionally, because the NVRs are optimized for remote browser and cloud access, they can be stored wherever is most convenient and secure for the end-user, with no need for a connected monitor. However, if a local monitor is required, HDMI and VGA ports are available, along with five USB ports for keyboard, mouse, and other peripherals.
Percept NVRs act as both local network video recorders and on-premise bridge appliances. Up to 2GB of video clips per network video recorder can be uploaded to the cloud from a Percept NVR where the clips can be managed, as well as exported, shared, and downloaded. Acting as a traditional NVR, it features two internal HDs with up to 12TB of storage or enough to store 18 days of round-the-clock video at 30 fps captured on sixteen 1MP cameras at standard video quality.
