ZTE's iS200 platform weapon upgrades at Beijing Security Exhibition

As my country's security industry enters a fast-developing track, the equipment in the field of monitoring is also becoming more diversified and perfect. Generally speaking, front-end acquisition equipment, servers, DVRs, decoders, switches, storage devices, display devices and other categories have become the mainstream product elements of the end-to-end chain of traditional monitoring systems. In the face of different applications, the equipment list is still being enriched. For example, the rapid rise of NVR and H-DVR spawned by the networking trend in the past two years, and the realization of cross-regional long-distance monitoring also requires the consideration of transmission equipment such as optical transceivers.

The demand for product simplification and function optimization is imminent

In a security monitoring system network, multiple devices need to be deployed, each with its own function, to achieve the overall security system construction goal. However, during the construction process, there is a compatibility gap between products from different manufacturers, and the numerous devices, intertwined cables, and bloated systems lead to implementation difficulties. System management is complex and difficult, which has become a problem that engineers and users have to face. After the system construction and renovation are completed, a large number of operation and maintenance projects in the later stage also make users suffer.

Lin Bin, director of the intelligent terminal development department of Shenzhen ZTE Liwei Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as ZTE Liwei), introduced that how to simplify the equipment categories on the product side and integrate business functions that meet customer needs, and innovate products from the integration dimension, has become the goal that the product development team has decided to conquer. Subsequently, the iS200 intelligent monitoring management platform (hereinafter referred to as iS200) was carefully developed and launched during the CPSE 2011 Security Expo as one of the star products exhibited by ZTE Liwei. "iS200 refers to ATCA architecture, embedded server CPU, high-speed bus backplane and other technologies, and innovates in many aspects such as box structure, business integration, and system application, and has high reliability with dual power supply backup, AC and DC dual backup, and dual master control unit backup," said Lin Bin.

iS200 innovative features - framework platform, modular design, flexible expansion

iS200 adopts a standard 19-inch rack-mount design, a telecom operator-grade ATCA box system, and a high-speed bus backplane design. It is worth mentioning that its embedded modular plug-in card design supports hot swapping of all modules. For different applications, it provides the combination that best matches customer needs; for new services, only matching service boards need to be added. The modular design of the system hardware overcomes the defects of the poor flexibility of the traditional monitoring system structure, and easily realizes plug-and-play of system modules.

iS200 innovative features - highly integrated, multi-service integration, six-in-one

At present, the service modules that iS200 has developed include main control unit, data acquisition unit, optical Ethernet ring unit, standard definition video encoding unit, standard definition video decoding unit, high definition video encoding unit, and high definition video decoding unit. Under the trend of network surveillance cameras, it can ensure the maximum value of the original analog cameras. For systems that require integrated power and environmental data monitoring and video surveillance, it can provide undivided management and decision-making information.

iS200 is a highly integrated NVR, DVR, decoder, power environment monitoring unit, storage and management platform. It integrates multiple services such as video monitoring, data monitoring, storage management, fiber optic communication, etc., and supports mobile monitoring.

iS200 innovative features - new product perspective, platform-level tools, and investment protection

As industry applications continue to deepen, public security, transportation, finance, environmental protection, electricity, medical care, education and other departments have diversified demands for monitoring systems, and monitoring resource scheduling and business management are becoming increasingly complex. Lin Bin introduced: "iS200 can manage multiple monitoring videos such as D1/720P/1080P at the same time. A single device supports 256-channel D1 video/128-channel 720P video/64-channel 1080P monitoring video management at the same time, and has multiple device stacking and cascading functions. It is an industrial-grade monitoring platform tool."

At present, the access capacity of a single DVR or NVR is generally no more than 32 channels of standard-definition video. iS200 provides a new product selection perspective for large and medium-sized monitoring systems. For monitoring systems at police stations, power substations, operator computer rooms, business halls, oil and gas stations and other sites, one iS200 can cover all core business functions of the monitoring center. In the long run, it is also economical, saving costs and protecting user investment.

The actual demonstration application market response is good

The timely launch of iS200 has effectively solved many of the above-mentioned problems and has won the attention and favor of users. It is understood that iS200 has been demonstrated and promoted in many industries such as public security, natural gas, oil, electricity, taxation, and telecommunications. It has been deployed and used in many monitoring projects such as a natural gas pipeline in Inner Mongolia, a local tax bureau in Northeast China, a power substation in Africa, and a university town in India, and the market response has been good. When asked about the next upgrade plan for iS200, Lin Bin revealed that as the technology matures further, the video intelligent analysis unit will be launched later. It can be expected that as an innovative product under the trend of networking and integration, iS200 will bring users truly efficient, convenient, and reliable unified monitoring and unified management in a certain period of time in the future.

The 2012 China International Public Security Products Expo, sponsored and hosted by the China Security Products Industry Association and approved by the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China, will be held on December 3. Li Changchun, Brand Director of ZTE Liwei, said, "This time, ZTE Liwei will present the company's full range of products to the visitors. After a year of application precipitation and improvement and upgrading, iS200 has become a mature product that has been reviewed and highly recognized by the market. It will continue to be one of this year's star products. A special area will be set up at the booth for business function demonstrations. Visitors are sincerely invited to come and taste it."
