UDI5000-CAM Universal Device Interface
FLEXIBLE INTEGRATION PLATFORM FOR ENDURA AND THIRD-PARTY CAMERAS
Product Features
• Concurrently Runs Disparate Drivers in Support of MPEG4 or H.264
Compliant Third-Party IP Cameras
• Handles Command and Control Translations Between Endura
®
and
Each Third-Party IP Camera in Support of PTZ Protocols
• Accommodates Cameras Supporting RTP, RTSP, TCP, HTTP Polling,
and Several Custom T
ransmission Protocols
• Normalizes Camera Stream Parameters to Support Endura’s
Scalable, Real-T
ime Monitoring and Recording Capabilities
• Small, Independently Configured Servers Can Accommodate Up to
16 Standard Resolution Streams or Megapixel Streams (Depending
on Camera, V
endor, and Bandwidth)
• No Additional Camera Connection Licenses Required
The UDI5000-CAM universal device interface is designed to allow
third-party IP cameras to easily and transparently interface to the
Endura
®
system. With the proliferation of IP camera technology, a
great deal of variability exists between IP camera vendors in terms of
supported protocols for streaming and command and control. While
efforts are underway to create an industry standard, each vendor has
and may continue to have several disparate protocols and drivers
that their family of IP cameras support. The UDI5000-CAM provides
an efficient way to normalize disparate drivers and protocols into a
cohesive set that is compatible with Endura and the rest of Pelco’s IP
video surveillance portfolio.
Protocol Conversion and Stream Management
The UDI5000-CAM can easily accommodate camera streams that
use HTTP polling, TCP, RTP, or RTSP protocols. Regardless of the
streaming protocol the camera uses, the UDI5000-CAM converts
the transmitted stream to an RTP header that is
RFC1889/RFC3550-compliant for use by Endura.
Since Endura uses information such as the source time stamp placed
in the user data section of the transmission packet, the
UDI5000-CAM will inject this information if it is missing from the
camera. And if the camera does not support multiple outgoing
streams or multicast streaming, the UDI5000-CAM multiplexes the
single stream into streams that can be used by an unlimited number
of viewers and recorders.
The UDI5000-CAM converts command and control protocols used
by the IP cameras into the SOAP/XML protocol used by Endura for
camera control.
Convenient Scalability and Packaging
Endura’s promise of unlimited scalability is extended to the use of
third-party IP cameras through the UDI5000-CAM. Each
UDI5000-CAM can accommodate up to 16 standard resolution
cameras or up to 8 megapixel cameras from most manufacturers.
Any combination of camera type and manufacturer is also supported.
The built-in bandwidth monitor allows the administrator to maximize
the number and type of cameras that each UDI5000-CAM can
accommodate. To provide unrestricted scalability, each
UDI5000-CAM is an independent server that can run multiple
concurrent disparate drivers and normalization routines. This
capacity virtually eliminates undue load on other Endura servers and
components.
The UDI5000-CAM server is a half-width, 1 RU server. The compact
size allows for two UDI5000-CAMs to be rack mounted next to
each other in just 1 RU of space using the optional rack mount kit.
Network Administration and Upgradeability
The UDI5000-CAM supports Single Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) monitoring and traps along with Endura diagnostic
monitoring. As such, health status information is available through
the Endura workstation or an external SNMP monitoring application.
The UDI5000-CAM complies with Endura’s firmware upgrade
scheme, allowing administrators to easily push out updated drivers
and other utilities over the network as they become available from
Pelco.
