DigiLinX(tm) IP-Based Networked Audio System Uses In-Wall Touch screen Controls to Display Video from New Panasonic IP-Based Home Security Cameras

NetStreams, the leader in IP-Based Networked Audio/Video distribution, announced a groundbreaking expansion of the capabilities of its DigiLinX(tm) system. Users of the whole-house entertainment network can now experience new home security functions through DigiLinX, thanks to Panasonic's two new models of IP-Based home security cameras.

Each camera can be connected to the DigiLinX system to display video on the TouchLinX(tm) (TL380) in-wall control panels, letting homeowners view video feeds on the LCD touch screen. The new integration option underlines NetStreams' commitment to providing custom installers with a highly flexible solution for multi-room entertainment and home security.

"DigiLinX's expandable architecture lets us respond very quickly to installer's needs, giving them access to any of the virtually unlimited functions that IP products can provide," said Herman Cardenas, founder and CEO of NetStreams. "The ability to integrate Panasonic's new IP-Based security cameras is one example of DigiLinX's unprecedented flexibility, which will continue to be proven with the release of more and more IP-Based entertainment and communications products.

NetStreams' latest DigiLinX firmware supports plug-and-play integration with Panasonic's two new IP-Based security cameras, the BB-HCM331 and the BL-C30. Installers simply connect the cameras with the SwitchLinX(tm) high-speed Ethernet switcher, complete a quick programming sequence and users can view the camera feed on any TouchLinX TL380 in-wall LCD touch screen in the system. Feeds from up to 4 of Panasonic's IP-compatible cameras can be viewed simultaneously on one screen, and users can pan, zoom, and alternate between full- and split-screen.

NetStreams' UK distributor, Invision, will showcase the groundbreaking DigiLinX system on Stand E50 in Hall 3, at the CEDIA Expo at the ICC, Birmingham, 28 -30 June 2005.
