Ethernet Direct Releases OVS-100 Industrial 1-Channel IP Surveillance Video Server

News Release from: Ethernet Direct
12/09/2008

Ethernet Direct Corporation is pleased to offer a new series of especially designed Industrial Video over Ethernet solution products called the OWL series.

OVS-100 is a 1-channel IP surveillance video server which converts analog video signals into IP video streams. The OVS-100 video server can stream digitized video over IP networks in the same way that an IP Camera can. Because an IP Video server uses IP protocols, it can stream video over any network that IP can use. Ethernet Direct provides IP surveillance technology to offer more future-proof and cost-effective solutions to help industry professionals migrate from analog to digital in a smooth way. With this new solution, the video from an existing surveillance system can be converted and networked into a new IP surveillance system. To maximize bandwidth efficiency, OVS-100 comes with MPEG-4/Motion-JPEG format video compression.

Video over Ethernet solution is now popular in the Industrial marketplace. To address the growing market demands, Ethernet Direct offers high-performance OVS-100 video server designed for professional security and surveillance applications.
