Highly professional and reliable true IP recording system offering: Compact dimensions - space saving, with easy and flexible installation Integrated motion and sabotage detection Support of megapixel IP camera recording Site plan feature for easy orientation and navigation Free remote client software Low-maintenance and high system availability One box reliable video surveillance system Space is valuable and tight in modern installations.  With its ultra compact dimensions of only 26 x 13 x 5 cm the NVR box gets the most out of the given space, however still provides very high processing performance, matched with simple and flexible installation.  The box can be mounted on a "top-hat" DIN rail or directly to the wall.  After simple installation and connection to network cameras, the box is ready for immediate use.  USB can be used to provide optional alarm inputs and outputs, or to connect an external DVD burner for archiving. With SISTORE MX NVR Siemens offers a highly professional and reliable, low maintenance digital recording system that comes in one box.  SISTORE MX NVR allows recording, playback and remote access for up to 16 IP cameras.  This makes it the ideal option in a multitude of applications, from small commercial to retail or offices, in general everywhere where space is limited such as train stations, or next to traffic lights where the system can easily be mounted in the electrical switching unit. More details of scenes in question SISTORE MX NVR supports megapixel recordings that contain more image data - particularly useful when utilising the integrated digital zoom feature.  As well as IP cameras and modules from Siemens, SISTORE MX NVR can be connected to third-party IP cameras and, if these are functional, it supports PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) control over the network. Ease of operation Typical situation: you recognise a suspicious person and then try to follow that person through the building or site.  Switching from one camera to the next, might get a problem if you can't remember which camera number to click on to see the next room.  Using the "site-plan" feature of SISTORE MX NVR this problem belongs to the past as you see all your cameras on a site plan like they are positioned in reality.  By simple mouse clicks you navigate through rooms and buildings - concentrating on the suspicious person instead of fighting your system. Efficient searching To ensure the best method of quick and easy searching for images, a mask can be defined in the area of interest, filtering the playback to only that area and ensuring no time is wasted watching hours of useless video.  Also, there is the timeline search, showing all recorded images across the cameras, including showing movement detection, alarm triggers.

The number of hybrid applications using existing analogue cameras with the possibility to expand the system by adding IP cameras, and with recording possible for both analogue and IP simultaneously, is growing all the time. Recognising the increasing market challenges this presents, Siemens has extended the already successful SISTORE MX hybrid video family by introducing its next generation hybrid recording system: SISTORE MX 3G.Improved features and functionalitiesUtilising well-known product features from the existing SISTORE MX family, SISTORE MX 3G offers many advanced and improved functionalities, including:Real-time CIF analogue and IP camera recording with up to 500 ipsPTZ control for dome and pan/tilt units possible from the RemoteView stationPentaplex operation Various search capabilities Network and integration capabilities using Siemens protocols and video management systemMigration - protecting your investmentThe hybrid system architecture unifies both analogue and digital in a single system, therefore allowing a smooth upgrade of existing systems to an IP based solution.

Dual codec IP cameras The Siemens range of dual codec cameras features 3 models: ‘colour', ‘day-night' and ‘day-night with wide dynamic'.  Each offers selectable MPEG4 or MJPEG compression options, while still being hybrid regarding video output codec selection provides greater flexibility, removing the need to consider recorder connection compatibility as it will work with both PC and non-PC based systems.  It also allows a system to be optimised according to image quality or bandwidth.All 3 IP camera models can be powered via the Ethernet cable (using Power over Ethernet), thereby significantly reducing the number of cables and improving ease of installation.IP fixed domesTen fixed dome cameras are also available from Siemens for IP applications, all of which allow for discreet around-the-clock surveillance of indoor and outdoor areas.  The analogue cameras are easily converted to IP through the simple addition of an IP dome base, making the migration from analogue to digital extremely easy when upgrading a system.

Security Products from Siemens has debuted Pandora, a new tablet computer “app” that enables security system installers to get instant access to data sheets and support for Siemens full range of CCTV, intruder detection and access control products from almost any location at any time of the day or night. The new Pandora app is a particularly valuable resource for installers who need information or have queries while they are working on site. It gives users access to three main services – product data, news, and peer-to-peer technical support. The product data service incorporates a fast and efficient search facility that makes it easy to find and peruse the full data sheets for products in the Security Products from Siemens range, while the news service is regularly updated with the latest information about product and commercial developments. The innovative peer-to-peer technical support service allows Pandora users to post technical queries, which are automatically circulated to all other users and to the Siemens technical support team. Any of the recipients can reply to the query, which means that this service gives app users a convenient way of tapping into the technical expertise not only of the Siemens team, but also of their fellow installers. It is anticipated that this novel collaborative approach will allow queries and challenges to be addressed quickly and efficiently. Siemens' SPCanywhere is another App that allows end users of Siemens intruder detection systems to monitor their installations remotely. With SPCanywhere, end-users of intruder detection systems based on the latest SPC product family can remotely monitor individual or multiple SPC installations using a tablet or smartphone. For each installation, they can select a map view, which provides an instant overview with icons that clearly show the positions of detectors and security cameras. When an icon is touched, further information about the status of the associated device is shown. A separate screen shows only the cameras in the installation, and touching the camera icon allows live real time images from it to be displayed on the tablet or smartphone screen. SPCanywhere also notifies users automatically of alarm activations. Siemens' new Vectis HX range of hybrid digital video recorders (DVRs) support both analogue and IP cameras, thereby smoothing the transition for users upgrading from traditional to networked CCTV installations. Vectis DVRs also use the latest H.264 video compression format to minimise storage and bandwidth requirements without compromising image quality, and their powerful processors mean that they are able to record video streams from up to 16 HD cameras simultaneously. * Photograph shows: Left Barry Shakespeare, Managing Director of Norbain and Peter Hawksworth, CEO of Security Products from Siemens, demonstrating the benefits of the new Pandora app on the Norbain stand at IFSEC.

The first products to be launched as a result of a strategic partnership between Siemens Building Technologies and Texas Instruments were a central feature of the Siemens stand at IFSEC 2008.  Part of Siemens' Innovations Wall feature, the popular SISTORE range of DVR's (Digital Video Recorders), manufactured in Germany, is the first to benefit from this technology partnership, with four new versions of the SISTORE MX hybrid recorders and three new versions of the SISTORE CX intelligent digital video codecs.  This third generation of SISTORE brings a significant enhancement in performance, employing the latest Da Vinci series of DSPs (Digital Signal Processors) from Texas Instruments, the leading signal processors for digital video processing. This new technology will extend the range of video surveillance platforms available from Siemens and ultimately provide one common hardware platform for the entire SISTORE range.  The introduction of the latest chip set significantly enhances the performance of the SISTORE recording systems, offering improved processing performance and with that increasing the recording and transmission frame rates, as well as the resolution supported per video input.  This results in products that provide full real-time encoding and streaming per channel (25 frames per second) at full D1 resolution. The platform also allows more powerful analytics than the already released outdoor object tracking and detection sensor employed in SISTORE CX EDS or the object detection and removal sensor in SISTORE CX ODR, making the systems build of Siemens SISTORE products even more intelligent.  Multiple algorithms and compression technologies such as H.264 can be utilized in future software versions.  The variants increase the current channel density for codecs from 8 to 16 channels per 2HU.Read: Siemens CCTV in action
