Netgear launches small-business video-surveillance suite

NETGEAR recently released its ReadyNAS Surveillance, a comprehensive IP surveillance solution incorporating surveillance software, storage, switching and network management. Customers and channel partners may connect any of more than 1,000 supported name-brand IP camera models to complete the package. This product suite is the first to combine business-class IP video technologies with flexible, customizable endpoint options for building reliable, affordable and simple video monitoring solutions.

ReadyNAS Surveillance wraps four critical NETGEAR components into one suite:

• The new NETGEAR ReadyNAS Surveillance Network Video Recorder (NVR) software includes intelligent search, digital watermark and e-mapping technology and supports up to 16 simultaneous cameras, including megapixel and HD models. Video may be viewed on the Web or played back on mobile clients, including Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, Android, and BlackBerry devices.
• The NETGEAR ReadyNAS family of network storage devices is an uncompromising business-class video platform. For example, the Pro 2 model offers up to 80Mbps (240 fps @1.3M, H.264).
• NETGEAR ProSafe Smart and Managed switches feature NETGEAR ProSafe hallmarks: VLAN support, Power over Ethernet, QoS, stacking technologies and simple installation.
• Five NETGEAR Network Management Software (NMS200) licenses are also included. NMS200 is a single management platform for NETGEAR devices, ensuring connectivity, configuration and monitoring across all storage and switching components. Additional licenses are available to cover multi-site installations.

ReadyNAS Surveillance is available on a free 30-day trial basis (16-camera license). List pricing starts at $95 per camera license with volume discounts available.
