A Comprehensive Edge Device Lineup
Nextiva features a comprehensive array of intelligent edge devices, from single- and multi-port encoders and decoders to powerful IP cameras and versatile wireless video devices.
- Designed for single-camera, indoor applications, Nextiva single-port encoders provide triple-stream H.264 and single-stream MJPEG video up to D1/30fps, with optional Power over Ethernet (PoE) and storage on the edge. All Nextiva single-port encoders and decoders also include an RS-232/422/485 serial connection for PTZ support, two alarm inputs and one alarm output, SSL-based authentication, SMNP support and bi-directional audio.
- Designed for multi-camera, indoor applications, Nextiva multi-port encoders provide dual- and triple-stream H.264 and/or MPEG-4 up to 4CIF/30fps video, storage on the edge, an RS-232/422/485 serial connection for PTZ support, alarm inputs and alarm outputs, SSL-based authentication, and SNMP support. Optional on-board analytics (license required) and bi-directional audio are also available. Compactly designed, these devices fit in a 1U, 6-inch (15-cm) enclosure. And, Verint multi-port encoder's power consumption is just 20W to 25W — using far less power than competitive products for a more efficient, energy-saving solution.
- Built specifically for real-world security applications, Nextiva wireless video devices transmit images from virtually anywhere with a combination of features virtually unmatched in the industry. Nextiva wireless edge devices support dual-stream MPEG-4/MJPEG video transmission over license-free 2.4 and 5 GHz bands and the licensed 4.9 GHz US and Canada public safety bands. Designed for outdoor use, they feature compact, weatherproof enclosures, SSL-based authentication, AES encryption with rotating 128-bit key, and a unique protocol to overcome standard wireless limitations. By combining a multi-band radio, encoder, and antenna in a single compact enclosure, these devices also speed deployment and reduce power and space requirements.
- Nextiva offers an array of IP cameras that address the challenges of indoor and outdoor applications. Nextiva IP cameras deliver high-definition video up to 2 megapixels in resolution. Multi-streaming enables users to customize H.264, MPEG-4, or MJPEG compression formats to meet requirements. Nextiva IP cameras combine excellent video quality with ultra-efficient bandwidth management and come in a variety of form factors — from fixed body and pan/tilt/ zoom cameras to indoor and all-weather IP domes.
Nextiva Edge Device Feature Set
Nextiva intelligent edge devices are designed to:
- Capture images virtually anywhere
- Analyze images quickly, accurately, and cost effectively
- Transmit images wherever they are needed
- Perform reliably and efficiently in a wide range of applications and environments
- Deliver actionable intelligence from an IT-friendly platform
Fully integrated with the Nextiva portfolio of video solutions, these intelligent edge devices use Nextiva’s centralized device administration, system-wide device monitoring, and intelligent video distribution to make security initiatives more manageable, proactive, and effective.
RoHS compliant and UL certified, Nextiva intelligent edge devices are an essential element of a successful security strategy. Storage on the edge and a failover mechanism helps to ensure video is recorded if a connection with the management software is lost. SSL-based authentication helps prevent unauthorized access, and AES encryption with rotating 128-bit key provides a high level of security during wireless video transmission. Automated camera tampering detection rapidly determines when cameras are out of focus, to help ensure that critical images are available and reduce the need to physically examine each camera on site. And, SNMP support facilitates integration with IT infrastructure.
Add Value to Analog Video Investments
Nextiva edge devices ease migration to IP video and deliver the benefits of IP video by leveraging existing video investments. Nextiva’s award-winning video encoders and wireless transmitters digitize and transmit video from analog cameras, using the most effective video encoding technology available today. Nextiva video decoders deliver the digitized video to analog monitors for viewing.
Nextiva edge devices also help optimize use of valuable network resources, with H.264, MPEG-4 and MJPEG video compressions, dynamic bandwidth allocation, and up to triple-streaming capabilities. Dynamic noise reduction filters further reduce bandwidth utilization, while enhancing image quality.
Powerful, Embedded Video Analytics
Nextiva integrated, on-board video analytics analyze images at the point of capture and eliminate the need to send all video to centralized servers for analysis. This can significantly reduce network bandwidth, storage, and server requirements, while providing highly accurate image analysis.
A wide array of Nextiva and third-party analytic applications is available for use with Nextiva intelligent edge devices. These analytics are fully integrated with other Nextiva solutions and software management applications. So, video analytic rules can be easily created and applied within the video management environment, and alerts can be distributed almost anywhere according to an organization’s security policies.
Easy to Configure and Manage
Nextiva encoders, decoders, wireless devices, and IP cameras are designed according to accepted industry standards for easy interoperability with existing IT infrastructure and video equipment. And they’re built for outstanding performance and easy installation and management using Nextiva. With Nextiva Enterprise, these edge devices can be remotely configured with the user-friendly Nextiva Control Center and monitored by Nextiva HealthCheck, with automated diagnostics and problem correction for greater uptime and lower service costs.
