Grandstream Networks Expands Video Surveillance Portfolio with Two New High Definition/Low Light SIP Surveillance Cameras

GXV3601_HD (High Definition) and GXV3601_LL (Low Light) SIP Surveillance Cameras
Deliver Exceptional Visual Clarity for Enhanced Security Protection
SAN FRANCISCO--(Business Wire)--
Grandstream Networks, the leading manufacturer of IP voice/video telephony and
video surveillance solutions, today announced the release of two new CMOS IP
surveillance cameras, the GXV3601_HD (720P high definition) and GXV3601_LL (low
light), that add to the rich functionality and versatility of Grandstream`s IP
video surveillance portfolio by providing exceptional visual clarity with high
definition and under low light conditions. Retail stores, airports, school
campuses, passport control stations, casinos, streets, highways and banks can
benefit from the camera`s ability to deliver true color representation and clear
images even if the object is moving quickly.

While analog closed circuit television (CCTV) system were once the norm, they
can be expensive, requiring complicated installation and constant uptake. They
also do not allow remote monitoring. Grandstream`s IP camera products not only
dramatically reduce the cost and time associated with installing surveillance
systems, they also offer greater functionality and increased flexibility for
remote video monitoring/control and 2-ways audio communication based on industry
standard such as VoIP/SIP. The VoIP/SIP capability is unique because it enables
seamless convergence between video surveillance and Voice-Video-over-IP
communication applications. The use of VoIP/SIP essentially turns these cameras
into smart camera phones not just for video monitoring but also 2-way audio
intercom/monitoring using the prevailing SIP standard. Live video feeds from
Grandstream`s surveillance cameras can also be routed through Grandstream`s
GXE502x IP PBX and streamed onto Grandstream`s IP video endpoints like the
GXV3140.

The GXV3601_HD delivers high quality video streaming with resolution of 1600 x
900 at 20 frames per second and 1280x720 at 25+ frames per second resulting in
razor sharp image clarity critical to real-time surveillance and archived video
used for investigative purposes. The GXV3601_LL is designed to capture and
stream high quality real time video under low light conditions (as low as
0.05Lux) and at up to 30 frames per second with full D1 (720x480) or VGA
(640x480) resolution. Both GXV3601_HD and GXV3601_LL support H.264 (a more
efficient advanced compression technology than MPEG4 or Motion JPEG), integrated
PoE and microphone, comprehensive peripheral interfaces, embedded video
analytics.

"We are very pleased to introduce these two new IP video cameras to our
portfolio of surveillance products. The GXV3601_HD and GXV3601_LL offer mission
critical high quality video solutions to the surveillance market at very
competitive price-performance point. Like other models in our surveillance line,
these products also offer bi-directional SIP/VoIP calling capabilities with
Grandstream`s entire voice-over-IP and video-over-IP line including IP phones,
video phones and IPPBX system. We look forward to creating more innovative
solutions for the IP Surveillance market in the future," says David Li, CEO of
Grandstream.

The GXV3601_HD and GXV3601_LL will be available through Grandstream`s worldwide
distribution channels at a list price of $449 and $299 respectively by the end
of November, 2009.
