Crestron CEN-NVS100 Network Video Streamer
Network Video Streamer:
CEN-NVS100
Introduction
The CEN-NVS100 provides a simple solution for streaming video from any
camera to Crestron®touchpanels throughout the home, school, or business.
Compatible with Crestron touchpanels that support the MJPEG Viewer
application, the CEN-NVS100 allows easy monitoring of door entry cameras,
nursery cameras, or any other video feed. Examples of compatible touchpanels are
the TPMC-3X, TPMC-4XG, TPMC-8L, TPMC-8T, and TPMC-8X.
Dual codecs allow the simultaneous streaming of signals with two different video
settings. Video settings include adjustable image size, quality, and bit rate.
Additional options include text and time stamp overlay and also privacy masking
that allows any portion of the video image to be obscured. Up to three motion
detection windows can be defined, enabling automated control events in response to
movement in specific areas on the screen. Events can also be triggered by an external
motion detector connected to the digital input or by detection of a total loss of
video signal.
An RS-485 control port is included, allowing remote control of a pant/tilt/zoom
(PTZ) camera with select drivers built in to support Pelco D and other popular
models.
Features and Functions
• Real-time motion-JPEG compression
• Up to D1 resolution (NTSC 704x480/PAL 704x576)
• Supports simultaneous dual streams
• Supports privacy masks
• Triple-window motion detection
• Includes digital I/O for external sensor and alarm
• Enables RS-485 control of Pelco D and other popular PTZ cameras
• PoE (Power over Ethernet) compatible
• Includes bracket for surface or rack rail mounting
• Compatible with Crestron touchpanels that support the MJPEG
Viewer application
