Panasonic brings to the market the WJ-ND400 high-performance network video recorder

Equipped with a 500GB HDD and 8 additional HDD slots it allows up to 4.5 TB of HDD storage to be installed in the main unit. Further expansion up to 27 TB can be achieved by adding five optional WJ-HDE400 Hard Disk Expansion Units, each with 9 serial ATA HDD slots, making the WJ-ND400 ideal for large-scale surveillance systems. With hot plug support, drives can be replaced without any downtime, allowing 24/7 operation.

The WJ-ND400 is both MPEG-4 and JPEG compatible and enables versatile recording functions including manual, scheduled, emergency, event and external timer recording, providing unrivalled flexible recording options. With a range of alarm actions including alarm recording, e-mail notification, alarm message, terminal output, FTP transfer and camera positioning, the recorder ensures that a moment it not missed by users of the system. Furthermore, to search recordings the intelligent VMD function allows movement in a specified area in the recorded images to be searched.
