Site Preparation

Before you install the EW5001, complete the following items:

Select a site for the EW5001.

Install a mount for the EW5001.

Wire the site for power and network access. The EW5001 supports Power-over-Ethernet (PoE).

Install the antenna.

Optional: Configure the network and wireless settings for the EW5001 on a workbench.

SITE SELECTION

Wireless performance is affected by site characteristics, unit radio frequency and transmission rate, antenna options, and the “noise floor” at the site. The noise floor may include thermal noise, objects between transmitter and receiver, and any interfering signals.

Performance is also affected by the number of encoders and the distance between each encoder and the access point. The farther the distance, the fewer the number of encoders. The shorter the distance, the greater the number of encoders.

Site selection should be performed by a Pelco-certified wireless design consultant, whose site survey will address these wireless performance issues as part of their site plan. The plan will identify the number and location for each wireless device, based on distances, radio frequency, and antenna options. Be sure to follow the site plan as specified by the consultant.

MOUNT INSTALLATION

The EW5001 includes two major mounting components. The unit itself attaches to the J-box. The J-box attaches to any mount with a standard Pelco four-bolt pattern.

Before selecting a mount, plan the wiring paths for power and network cables. The J-box has three openings: one on the top, one on the bottom, and one in the mount surface. Select a mount that facilitates the wiring paths. Table A lists compatible Pelco mounts:

NOTES:

Make sure the mount supports at least 25 lbs (11.4 kg) for the EW5001. If installing additional equipment to the mount, make sure the mount will support the total weight of the EW5001 and the additional equipment.

Use the ES-MKIT Esprit marine kit for all marine installations.

Install the mount (refer to the mount documentation for more information).

EW5001 specifications

The Pelco EW5001 is a robust and highly advanced network video encoder designed for a variety of surveillance applications. This device is known for its reliability, flexibility, and a host of features tailored for efficient video management in security environments.

One of the primary features of the EW5001 is its capability to encode high-definition video streams. Supporting resolutions up to 1080p, it ensures that users receive clear and detailed images, which is essential for effective monitoring and identification purposes. The encoder leverages H.264 compression technology, which significantly reduces the bandwidth required for video transmission while maintaining high quality, allowing for more efficient storage and streaming.

Another key aspect of the EW5001 is its multi-stream output functionality. This means that each channel can stream multiple video streams simultaneously at different resolutions and bit rates, which accommodates various network conditions and user needs. Security personnel can monitor live feeds in real-time, while also saving high-resolution recordings for future review.

The easy integration of the Pelco EW5001 into existing network infrastructures is facilitated by its support for ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) protocols. This interoperability allows it to seamlessly connect with a wide range of third-party cameras and video management systems, enhancing the system's overall versatility.

For connectivity, the EW5001 is equipped with both Ethernet and PoE (Power over Ethernet) capabilities. This feature simplifies installation by allowing the device to receive both power and data over a single cable, reducing clutter and minimizing installation time. Moreover, built-in alarm input and output ports offer additional functionality for triggering alerts or integrating with other security systems when specific events occur.

In addition to its performance features, the Pelco EW5001 comes with advanced security measures. These include user authentication, encrypted transmission, and secure access protocols to help protect sensitive video data along its journey from the encoder to storage or viewing platforms.

With its combination of high-quality video encoding, flexible streaming options, easy integration, and robust security features, the Pelco EW5001 stands out as a vital component in modern surveillance setups, meeting the demands of various sectors including retail, transportation, and critical infrastructure protection. Its reliability and performance make it an excellent choice for those seeking to enhance their security systems with state-of-the-art technology.
