Panasonic’s staggeringly small WJ-ND200 Network Disk Recorder

Product Profile

The HDD recorder is a secure and user-friendly recorder designed specifically for surveillance purposes. The revolutionary space saving design makes this unit total a staggeringly small, 270mm in width without comprising on features or reliability. In fact, this slim line NDR is capable of monitoring up to 16 cameras from up to four simultaneous clients, making the recorder especially suited to high quality surveillance in small to medium sized shops and offices. 

The WJ-ND200 is both MPEG-4 and JPEG compatible enabling crisp reproduction of images produced by the cameras. The unit now enables versatile recording functions including multi-recording, scheduled recording, emergency recording, external timer recording and event recording functions, providing unrivalled flexible recording options. 

Using Panasonic i-pro series network cameras, the WJ-ND200 can automatically detect the cameras and enables users to set up IP addresses easily whilst continuously checking the images. Manual set up is also possible but using Panasonic's i-pro network cameras, the automatic detection feature makes this NDR quick, simple and easier to set-up than ever before. 

For high reliability, the WJ-ND200 supports disk mirroring; enabling image data to be stored in another HDD unit should one HDD unit fail, ensuring no moment is missed and all imagery is continuously backed up. This also means one doesn't have to worry about erasing image data due to mistaken operations or system failure as the robust design of both the main unit and the individual HDD units safeguards the data. 

The unit also enables you to limit access to the recorder by setting user names and passwords to restrict access to data and information. Furthermore, by activating the host authentication function, it is possible to block operations from unregistered IP addresses,keeping the recorder and all its data completely secure from those not authorised to view it. 

The WJ-ND200 offers comfortable functionality and high reliability, different from conventional PC based recorders. For easy data transport, the WJ-ND200 means there is no longer any need to stop recording to copy images to a CD or DVD. This unit enables you to simply detach the HDD components by opening the front panel and removing them easily. You can then carry the components anywhere, allowing the recorded images to be viewed via a Serial ATA/USB2.0 adapter by third parties, such as the police, providing a vital tool in crime investigation procedures. 

The WJ-ND200 realises a level of usability never before experienced. The WJ-ND200 is the leading network recorder, offering secure functionality and high reliability, realising a comfortable and efficient surveillance environment for small shops and offices.
