Cost Efficiency

Because the WJ-ND300 utilizes an existing network infrastructure, it sharply reduces costs in both time and money compared to systems that require dedicated cabling. The use of ordinary PCs eliminates the need for dedicated monitors. Plus, with hard disk storage, the burden of replacing video tapes or other consumables is also reduced.
Built with the Future in Mind
As digital networks become a pervasive component of contemporary life, the potential for networked video surveillance systems is enormous. As an example, the WJ-ND300 is designed to take full advantage of new networking advances and to simplify, the integration of other surveillance applications (i.e. access control system).
