CONNECTING VIDEO INPUT

The NET5308T-EXP automatically detects the video standard (PAL or NTSC) when you connect a video input. It accepts both color and black-white analog video. Use the Endura workstation to enable or disable video termination for each video input. Video termination is enabled by default.

NOTES:

Enabling line lock on cameras may cause video distortion. There may be noise in the camera’s power source. If video from one or more cameras is distorted, Pelco recommends disabling line lock on the camera as your first troubleshooting step.

If a video distribution amplifier, such as a CM9760-MDA, is installed between the video source and the NET5308T-EXP, do not set the output video level above 1 Vp-p.

To connect each video input:

1.Connect a coaxial cable to the camera or other analog video source.

2.Connect the coaxial cable to the video in connector on the rear panel.

NOTE: You may have to use a BNC installation tool to connect coaxial cables to the rear panel.

After connecting the coaxial cables to the NET5308T-EXP, use the SEQ video output to verify each video source (refer to Connecting Sequence Monitor on page 24).

CAMERA CONTROL: COAXITRON

Coaxitron is Pelco’s up-the-coax technology. It requires only a coaxial cable and no other wiring or equipment. When the NET5308T-EXP receives a camera control command, it transmits that command up the coaxial cable to the PTZ device. Coaxitron is a single-direction protocol; the PTZ device cannot return any data to the unit.

To enable Coaxitron operation, connect the PTZ device to the video input on the NET5308T-EXP. Since Coaxitron is disabled by default for each camera, use the Endura workstation to enable it on the specific video inputs.

CAMERA CONTROL: PELCO D/PELCO P PROTOCOL

The NET5300B and NET5308T-EXP together support Pelco D (4-wire) and Pelco P (2-wire) protocols. These protocols use a serial interface to transmit commands to the PTZ device over separate control wires. Refer to Connecting Serial PTZ Devices in the Endura NET5300B Multichannel Video Encoder Base Module Installation manual (C2614M) for more information.

NET5308T-EXP specifications

The Pelco NET5308T-EXP is an advanced network video encoder designed for high-performance video surveillance applications. This versatile device is notable for its ability to transform analog video feeds into digital signals, allowing for seamless integration with modern IP-based systems. This makes it an essential component for facilities looking to upgrade their security setups while retaining existing cameras.

One of the key features of the NET5308T-EXP is its capacity to handle up to eight analog video channels. This multi-channel capability allows users to manage multiple cameras through a single device, simplifying the installation and reducing the overall cost of upgrading surveillance systems. Each channel can process video in high-definition, ensuring that captured footage maintains clarity and detail, which is crucial for effective monitoring and incident investigation.

The NET5308T-EXP employs advanced H.264 video compression technology, which optimizes bandwidth usage without compromising video quality. This codec allows for the transmission of high-resolution video streams while minimizing data storage requirements. With the growing need for efficient data management in surveillance systems, this feature becomes invaluable, particularly in environments where bandwidth is limited.

Another significant aspect of the NET5308T-EXP is its support for Power over Ethernet (PoE). This technological integration enables the device to receive power and transmit data over a single Ethernet cable, greatly simplifying installation. It eliminates the need for multiple power sources and power adapters, allowing for cleaner setups and reducing cable clutter.

Moreover, the encoder includes advanced motion detection capabilities, which can trigger alerts based on movement within the camera’s field of view. These features can be essential for ensuring that security personnel are notified of potential security breaches in real time. Additionally, the device supports various networking protocols, enhancing its compatibility with a wide range of video management systems.

The NET5308T-EXP is designed for reliability and durability in various operating conditions. Its robust construction allows it to function in a range of environments, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor applications alike. With features such as video loss detection and alarm inputs, the device further assures its status as a top-tier solution for comprehensive security needs.

Overall, the Pelco NET5308T-EXP is an exceptional choice for organizations looking to modernize their surveillance technology without the need to overhaul existing infrastructure. With its multi-channel support, advanced compression technology, PoE capabilities, and intelligent alert systems, it represents a significant advancement in video surveillance technology, providing users with high-quality performance and flexibility.
