LAS VEGAS , NV, March 28, 2007 (ISC West Booth #7127) -- Demonstrating its ability to anticipate customer needs and drive new technology, Toshiba Surveillance & IP Video Products Group has debuted the IPR Series of network video recorders.

Designed for entry- and mid-level networked video surveillance systems, cost-effective IPR Series recorders combine high-end features -- such as support of 16 megapixel IP cameras -- with Toshiba's signature value and ease of installation. Microsoft Windows®-based operation ensures hassle-free integration with virtually any network.

"Toshiba IVR recorders have all the scalability, features and reliability needed for demanding security applications at a price point that offers users a compelling reason to move from analog to IP security," said Sergio Collazo, Director, Toshiba Surveillance & IP Video Products. "Each IPR is a complete visual security management system that can be controlled remotely over an Ethernet LAN, WAN or the Internet."

To meet the widest range of needs, IPR Series recorders are available in both 16- and 8-channel versions with optional 250 GB, 500 GB or 1000 GB on-board storage. On-board software provides security administrators with simultaneous recording, playback and remote streaming of live video images retrievable on a PC, along with comprehensive search capabilities of archives. An intuitive GUI makes navigating video files a breeze.

Video from up to 16 IP network cameras from Toshiba or other major brands can be recorded at their encoded resolution and stored locally on the IPR using efficient MJPEG compression, optimizing video storage space. In addition, those cameras featuring PAN/TILT/ZOOM can be controlled from a remote viewing station. Users are able to define settings on a per camera basis, including resolution, motion detection, alarm recording, and frames-per-second.

Slim IPR Series recorders are designed to mount effortlessly into a standard rack.
