Before You Begin

Endura is a network system that requires a continuous amount of bandwidth to transmit true, live video. Therefore, always include your network administrator when planning and installing Endura components.

You will also need the following items:

Pelco-approved Endura certification

Access to an Endura network

that is an active, Gigabit Ethernet network that supports the full Internet Protocol suite,

that is configured with at least one Endura system manager,

that is configured with at least one Endura workstation, and

that will be configured with at least one EW5301T wireless video encoder or one EW5001 or EW5002 wireless bridge.

Wireless site plan, designed by a Pelco-certified wireless design consultant

NOTES:

Endura components are designed to deliver high-quality, high-frame rate video across a network. For best results, make sure your installation meets the power, environmental, and networking guidelines described in the Endura Installation Guidelines and Best Practices document (C2670M).

When using one or more network switches on the Endura network, enable autonegotiation on all switches.

These network requirements represent the minimum standard for a small Endura-capable security network. Please consult the Endura Network Design Guide (C1640M) to make sure your network is properly configured. Your system may be different and may require additional hardware, software, and network resources.

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.
