A Breakthrough in Seamless Migration to IP from Speco Technologies

A Breakthrough in Seamless Migration to IP from Speco Technologies

  • May 30, 2013

Today, Speco Technologies, a manufacturer of video surveillance solutions that deter crime, announced immediate availability of the NSP NVR with built-in PoE and Digital Deterrent.  A major break though for those who are migrating from analog to IP, the NSP provides the ease of an IP setup with the simplicity of an analog system. A Breakthrough in Seamless Migration to IP from Speco TechnologiesFor those transitioning to IP, the NSP is the perfect unit as the PoE eliminates having to run a separate power supply to the IP cameras. The NSP provides seamless IP camera connectivity when using Speco’s OnSIP & VIP cameras and is also compatible with all Onvif Profile S cameras.

The NSP provides HD 1080p resolution and recording. It has a dual network interface that isolates IP camera traffic from network traffic to alleviate possible bandwidth challenges. The dual network interface helps increase throughput and increase security by separating IP cameras to their own network to help minimize degradation of other networked applications. The NSP also provides true plug and play capability with its EZ Camera wizard that automatically searches and connects Speco IP cameras on LAN.

Installation is simple using the EZ Setup Wizard, guiding the user from start to finish within minutes. Setup can even be done wirelessly from an iPad by downloading Speco’s configuration iPad App, making installation even easier. Once the unit is connected, free smart phone apps are available (on Google Play and Apple Store) to view cameras though an iPhone, iPad or Android device. The NS and NSP are PC and Mac compatible, and can be used on Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox and Google Chrome, as well.

Both do not fall short of Speco’s unique differentiators. They have Digital Deterrent for triggering an audio message via motion detector or sensor system monitoring to receive system health status and up to the minute notifications, free DDNS servers and much more.

The NSP and NS are available in 4 and 8 channel models, with a 16 channel version coming soon. Storage ranges from 500GB to 9TB, and an ESATA port adds an additional 2TB of storage. Finding a specific moment though all those files is a breeze with EZ Search, which quickly helps sorts though large amount of data with a few clicks to see a desired event.

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
