IRVINE, CA, July 21, 2009 -- Toshiba Surveillance & IP Network Video, a business unit of Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., has combined fault tolerant engineering with multi-format support for up to 32 IP network cameras, including megapixel models, in its new NVS Series network video recorders.

Capable of speeds of up to 30 pictures-per-second per camera with audio, NVS recorders are a single-box networking solution for IP video applications demanding ultra-high resolution recording, mass storage capacity up to 4TB, and compatibility with cameras from Toshiba, Sony, Panasonic, AXIS and other reputed manufacturers that can be recorded locally or globally via the Internet. Dozens of Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) control protocols are supported to assure compatibility with virtually any IP PTZ camera.

Reliability is built into every NVS recorder. All models offer a field upgradeable, removable HDD array to eliminate the need to send the unit in for service. Available internal RAID 5 achieves complete data redundancy, while multiple levels of security prevents unauthorized access. Video signal loss detection alerts administrators if a camera is no longer functioning.

Searches on the NVS are fast, accurate and easy. Security professionals can conduct a search based on motion, sensor events, thumbnail previews, and graphical timelines. Once located, targeted video can be exported as AVI video, JPEG image or as individual frames printed for further review at a later time. Search, playback and backup are all performed simultaneously by the NVS. Video can be output to any on-site NTSC/PAL display.

Toshiba NVS recorders feature an embedded Windows®-XP operating system. Each unit ships with an industry-proven suite of software solutions including multi-site management, backup viewer to play exported video in proprietary format, emergency management, remote software, and MDVR (Windows® Mobile 6+). Advanced POS and ATM software is supported for retail and banking applications.
