Exacq Technologies, part of the Security Products business unit of Tyco, has released an update to its exacqVision Z-Series line of hybrid and IP camera recorders. These purpose-built network video recorders (NVR) feature higher performance, reliability and capacity at a lower cost for enterprise video surveillance deployments.

The enhanced exacqVision Z-Series recorders offer new robust options creating a performance-optimised solution for demanding applications. These recorders continuously record up to 1 200Mbps of video, offering better performance to record more high definition and high-resolution cameras.

Ideal for large, enterprise installations, the exacqVision Z-Series delivers up to 1 800 frames per second of video to Web and mobile clients, allowing users to deploy the freely distributed cross-platform client, Web browser client or Exacq mobile app to more users simultaneously. Up to 500 exacqVision client users or 100 Web browser/mobile app users can connect to a single Z-Series recorder at the same time. Each Z-Series now comes with a dual 10Gbps network interface option for faster archiving and better mass client performance.

The Z-Series features front-accessible, hot-swappable hard drives for maximum reliability, along with RAID 5 or 6 to protect users against data loss and provide continuous operation. The Z-Series also comes standard with dual hot swappable power supplies, and hardware health monitoring in the exacqVision client.

Z-Series recorders include up to 64 analogue camera inputs for instant connection of analogue security cameras and can host up to 128 IP cameras. Pre-configured with exacqVision Professional or Enterprise video management system (VMS) software, Z-Series recorders come with eight IP camera licenses included for easy, out-of-the-box deployment. exacqVision supports more than 2 200 IP camera models from nearly 100 manufacturers. The exacqVision VMS includes the new EasyConnect feature that automatically finds, addresses and connects to over 400 different IP cameras. Z-Series recorders store up to 80TB per server and are expandable to 1.6PB with the addition of exacqVision S-Series networked video storage recorders

Each Z-Series recorder includes a three-year hardware warranty and three-year software subscription agreement, which allows users to update their recorder with the latest exacqVision software features at no additional cost.
