Pelco EW5001 manual Antenna Installation, Bench Setup Optional

Page 18

ANTENNA INSTALLATION

Pelco offers a planar antenna with integrated mount (EW-ANTP-2-9 or EW-ANTP-5-8) for use with the EW5001. These are the only antennas that can be mounted directly to the EW5001. Any other antenna must be mounted separately.

Before installing either an integrated antenna or a separate antenna, review the following considerations:

Make sure the elevation (height) and azimuth (horizontal angle) match at both wireless antenna sites. The units cannot connect unless the antennas are pointing at each other. Antenna misalignment causes the most problems for wireless installations.

To limit signal loss, use the shortest cable possible. For every 3 ft (0.91 m) of length, antenna cables lose about 1.0 dB at 5.8 GHz or about 0.7 dB at 2.4 GHz.

If you are using an integrated antenna, you will mount it to the EW5001 as part of the installation procedure (refer to Unit Installation on page 19).

If you are using a separate antenna, install it to the mount site. Refer to the Endura Wireless Antenna Installation manual (C2698M).

BENCH SETUP (OPTIONAL)

The EW5001 is designed for easy installation and configuration. By default, it is configured as an access point to quickly connect wireless video encoders to an Endura network. Most default settings are automatically configured, including network IP addresses, dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server, encryption, wireless channels, and connection speed. In some cases, it may be necessary to configure the unit on a workbench before installing it at its location.

You will need the following items:

Power source: Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) device or bench power cable (EW-BPS-6)

Network connection or DHCP hub

Service cable (EW-SC-6) for the EW5001 (optional)

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.
