The 16TB DSSRV2-160RD-D Digital Sentry H.264 Network Video Recorder from Pelco is optimized to deliver essential hardware support for the DS NVs video management software (VMS) without the risk of integrating hardware and software. 

Boosted by the 4th Generation Intel Xeon processor and 16 GB of RAM, the Digital Sentry NVR provides an optimal combination of processing power and reliability to meet the demands of HD video recording and playback operations. The system is powered to support up to 128 combined IP and analog video streams, with up to 64 analog cameras supported via the optional ENC5416 directly attachable encoder (sold separately). Analog streams are also supported using Pelco and third-party encoders. 

The NVR delivers total available throughput of 350Mb/s for recording of analog and IP video streams as well as playback and export through the DS ControlPoint client. When determining the maximum number of cameras and the desired frame rate to host on every system, the number of concurrent client connections, the number of streams likely to be viewed in playback on each client, and the bandwidth required to support the client connections must be taken into consideration. 

The NVR functions as a stand-alone system or as part of a network of servers, monitored from the DS ControlPoint user interface. The system can be deployed solely as a network video recorder, as a digital video recorder (DVR), or as a hybrid NVR. 

Thanks to the 2 gigabit network ports, handy network architecture planning is facilitated by allowing 1 port to be dedicated to IP cameras, while the second network port is used for client connections. 2 DVI-D ports provide a convenient connection for high-resolution digital monitors for use with HD cameras. 

The NVR incorporates a SSD system drive. With increased read-write speeds and no moving parts, the SSD system drive increases the reliability, uptime, and responsiveness of the system. The 16TB SSD drive is hot-swappable when configured for internal RAID 5 storage with the optional RAID 5 controller card (sold separately). External storage is supported through USB attached storage or by using the DSSRV-SCSI interface card (sold separately) connected to DX8100HDDI storage of up to 24TB. The external storage can be configured for JBOD storage of software-controlled RAID 5 storage. The unit comes with a US power cord.

Q: 8. Can this encoder simulcast to more than one platform? (Ex. stream to both Facebook and YouTube simultaneously)

A: Yes. The Osprey® Talon G2 H.264 Encoder has up to three streams that can be sent out simultaneously, originating from a single input stream.

Q: 9. Can I send video from my Dji pocket 2 to this device through RMTP and take the HDMI out to my switcher for live streamiing? Is that even possible with this device?

A: The AVMatrix SE1217 H.265/264 HDMI Streaming Encoder, is intended to take an HDMI input and encode it for streaming. As the DJI Pocket 2 does not feature an HDMI output, it would not be compatible as an input to this encoder.

Q: 10. What is the latency of the conversion?

A: Users have reported a latency between 150-200ms.
