Introduction; Overview; Features; Connections - American Dynamics IP SpeedDome Ultra 8 Configuration And User's Manual

Overview

The IP SpeedDome Ultra 8 (hereafter referred to as IPSDU8) offers a high performance IP video
stream for one analog video source. The IPSDU8 is specifically designed for security video which
produces compressed video that is up to nine times more efficient than MPEG-4 and MJPEG
products.
The IPSDU8 is an ACC video encoder that converts analog video from our existing cameras and
domes into a network compatible IP signal used by Intellex IP and the VideoEdge™ NVR systems.
An Intellex IP System offers a highly reliable digital video management system with the flexibility,
scalability, and improved performance of IP. It is compatible with Network Client™ and all third
party applications developed using the Intellex API, so it is remotely accessible, network ready,
and easy to integrate with other equipment.
The VideoEdge™ NVR is a scalable and open IP based platform. It can support as many as 128
cameras per server, including IP cameras, IP domes, analog cameras with IP encoders as well as
the VideoEdge™ IP Encoder and megapixel cameras. The network appliance architecture and
embedded Linux operating system provide a secure, robust solution for high availability enterprise
applications.
The IPSDU8 is not available in Power over Ethernet (PoE).
