Pelco UDI5000-CAM Universal Device Interface

The UDI5000-CAM universal device interface is designed to allow third-party IP cameras to easily and transparently interface to the Endura® system. With the proliferation of IP camera technology, a great deal of variability exists between IP camera vendors in terms of supported protocols for streaming and command and control. While efforts are underway to create an industry standard, each vendor has and may continue to have several disparate protocols and drivers that their family of IP cameras support. The UDI5000-CAM provides an efficient way to normalize disparate drivers and protocols into a cohesive set that is compatible with Endura and the rest of Pelco’s IP video surveillance portfolio. The UDI5000-CAM can easily accommodate camera streams that use HTTP polling, TCP, RTP, or RTSP protocols. Regardless of the streaming protocol the camera uses, the UDI5000-CAM converts the transmitted stream to an RTP header that is RFC1889/RFC3550-compliant for use by Endura. The UDI5000-CAM converts command and control protocols used by the IP cameras into the SOAP/XML protocol used by Endura for camera control.
