Honeywell is now offering bundled IP Video kits that give small to mid-size businesses a hassle-free option for upgrading to high definition IP video. The kits consist of Honeywell’s new four-channel embedded NVR with four ball or four bullet style high definition IP cameras. These kits are affordable, easy to install and provide a complete end-to-end video surveillance solution. “The common problem for NVR systems is that they’re too expensive and too difficult to install, so many organisations stick to what they know, which is the standard analogue DVR system,” said Uli Hopfstock, product manager EMEA, “Our Performance Series’ IP kits address those concerns by providing a cost-effective, easy-to-install system that makes IP video a greater reality for organisations with cash-strapped budgets. It’s as easy to set up as a DVR.” The simple, low-profile camera designs are ideal for tight spaces, and built-in Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) simplifies camera installation through plug-and-play functionality, saving time and costs. An intuitive setup wizard makes the system easy to configure, maintain, and manage. End users can also program the system to record only when motion is detected to maximise the system’s efficiency. The network connected system allows business owners to view video from smartphones, tablets and computers. E-mail alerts can be programmed to warn users of network failures or motion detection.
