Nextiva S1708e Feature Set

s1708eThe Nextiva S1708e is the industry’s only 8-port video encoder with a comprehensive feature set that includes full frame rate with high resolution on all ports, camera tampering detection, an external power supply, and optional embedded video analytics.

The S1708e video server is especially effective in large-scale applications that require high-quality video, delivering dual-stream, MPEG-4 video up to 4CIF/30 frames per second on all eight ports. The S1708e incorporates Verint’s industry-leading video encoding technology for superior imagery and optimal bandwidth utilization. The S1708e also optimizes use of storage resources, with dual streaming that enables video to be viewed at high resolution with excellent image clarity, but stored at lower resolution.

Optional on-board analytics analyze images at the point of capture, eliminating the need to send all video to centralized servers for analysis. This can significantly reduce network bandwidth, storage, and server requirements, while providing highly accurate image analysis. Nextiva features a full line of sophisticated, on-board video analytics and is fully integrated with many third-party analytic applications, such as Agent Vi.

Automated camera tampering detection comes standard with the S1708e to rapidly detect when cameras are out of focus. This helps to ensure that critical images are available and reduces the need to physically examine each camera on site.

SSL-based authentication helps prevent unauthorized access. An RS-232 serial port is provided for integration with access control systems, and an RS-422/485 serial port supports motorized domes and cameras.

Energy Efficient, Longer Life, Lower Cost of Ownership

The Nextiva S1708e features an external power supply, virtually eliminating the need to replace functional encoders because of faulty internal power units. Nextiva S1708e power consumption is just 20W, so it uses far less power than competitive products. This makes the S1708e a highly efficient, energy-saving choice. And the S1708e can be managed using Nextiva Enterprise or third-party video management software (via the Nextiva Advantage SDK), enabling organizations to deploy the video management solutions that best address their budgets and objectives.

Easy to Install, Less Costly to Service

The Nextiva S1708e video server is built for easy installation and operation in virtually any type of video system. These rack-mountable encoders can be placed in an IT closet with other network equipment, plugged into the Ethernet network, and configured individually using Verint's Windows-based SConfigurator software or in batches using Nextiva Control Center.
