Regulatory Notices

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

RADIO AND TELEVISION INTERFERENCE

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Changes and modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer or registrant of this equipment can void your authority to operate this equipment under Federal Communications Commission’s rules.

In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used with this equipment. Operation with non-approved equipment or unshielded cables is likely to result in interference to radio and television reception.

This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY FIELDS

The EW5001 is designed to operate at 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz with up to 631 W equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) maximum transmit power. This level of radio frequency (RF) energy is above the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) levels specified in FCC OET65:97-01. Take the following precautions during installation:

The antennas used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 7.8 ft (2.4 m) from all persons. It must not be located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Mount the antenna in a manner that prevents any personnel from entering the area within 7.8 ft (2.4 m) of the front of the antenna.

During installation and alignment of the antenna, do not stand in front of the antenna assembly.

During installation and alignment of the antenna, do not handle or touch the front of the antenna.

Video Quality Caution

FRAME RATE NOTICE REGARDING USER-SELECTED OPTIONS

Pelco systems are capable of providing high quality video for both live viewing and playback. However, the systems can be used in lower quality modes, which can degrade picture quality, to allow for a slower rate of data transfer and to reduce the amount of video data stored. The picture quality can be degraded by either lowering the resolution, reducing the picture rate, or both. A picture degraded by having a reduced resolution may result in an image that is less clear or even indiscernible. A picture degraded by reducing the picture rate has fewer frames per second, which can result in images that appear to jump or move more quickly than normal during playback. Lower frame rates may result in a key event not being recorded by the system.

Judgment as to the suitability of the products for users’ purposes is solely the users’ responsibility. Users shall determine the suitability of the products for their own intended application, picture rate and picture quality. In the event users intend to use the video for evidentiary purposes in a judicial proceeding or otherwise, users should consult with their attorney regarding any particular requirements for such use.

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.
