Backplane Systems Technology Nuvo-3616VR Fanless Surveillance System

Backplane Systems Technology has launched the Nuvo-3616VR, a surveillance platform that integrates 16 PoE+ ports, an i7 CPU and RAID in a compact, fanless chassis. It is designed to meet requirements of a stationary or mobile surveillance system, and is capable of video recording as well as high-end video analytics.

A typical surveillance system uses an NVR to connect IP cameras and record video streams on its disk array. Similar to an NVR, the product features 16 PoE+ ports and built-in disk array for video recording, while each of its 802.3at PoE+ ports can supply 25.5 W to power a bullet, dome or PTZ camera. As electrical power is passed along with data on a single CAT5/6 cable, the product reduces the cost of deployment for a surveillance system supporting up to 16 cameras.

The system also incorporates four built-in drives with a RAID 0/1/5/10 storage system to offer up to 1 GBps disk access and 8 TB capacity. The product also comes with a quad-core i7 CPU, which delivers good computing performance to facilitate advanced video analytics algorithms.

Key features include: Intel 3rd-Gen i7 Quad-Core Performance; easy-swap trays for HDD replacement; -25 to +60°C fanless operation; 8~35 V wide-range DC input with built-in ignition power control; and per-port power on/off control for each PoE+ port.
