Honeywell’s MAXPRO Cloud hosted video service features the cloud-ready hybrid video appliance that lets users view live and recorded video over the Internet using a PC, Mac, tablet or smartphone. It is ideal for entry into IP video surveillance systems and offers a new source of RMR opportunities for dealers through hosted video services.

The MAXPRO Cloud appliance can accommodate both analog and digital cameras and records a maximum of eight channels, including up to four Power over Ethernet IP cameras. This superior flexibility makes it easy and affordable to transition to high quality digital video. MAXPRO Cloud is ideal for end users who want to protect their existing investment in analog but want the ability to upgrade to IP, and also for customers who are starting out with video surveillance and are looking for an affordable entry-level IP system.

With auto camera detection and a built-in network switch, the MAXPRO Cloud appliance is designed for fast and easy onsite deployment, which reduces installation time. Installation and setup is made easy with our unique MAXPRO Connect feature, which links the unit quickly to our state-of-the-art hosting center. And MAXPRO Cloud’s configuration webpage provides a quick and intuitive configuration of event triggers and user parameters for each camera.

The web-based interface is viewable from any standard Mac or PC browser and requires no software to be downloaded. The interface is simple and intuitive with all the functionality and features that customers need, such as live view and playback of recorded video, one-click simple search of events, advanced search, and easy snapshot and clip creation.

The MAXPRO Cloud appliance utilizes RTSP and HTTP video streaming for high quality video while minimizing network bandwidth utilization. Critical events can be captured locally at higher resolution and frame rates and are easily retrieved. Event triggers can be via contacts, during scheduled recording times, or via built-in object detection. The arm and disarm feature also allows MAXPRO Cloud to be active only when your alarm panel or access control system is armed.

The MAXPRO Cloud appliance features our Active Alert analytics to offer SmartVMD (video motion detection), reducing false alarms and monitoring operation costs.
