In-Vehicle Hybrid Platform DVR and Embedded System
(Taipei, Taiwan) Lanner Inc., a leading designer and ODM of fanless embedded systems, today announced the release of the LEC-5520, a FCC CE certified rugged embedded system built off the Intel Atom CPU which offers WiFI, 3G and GPS communications along with four-channel real time H.264 video capture and hardware compression. By combining real-time communication capabilities with a DVR, the LEC-5520 is ideal for all types of intelligent transport applications.
Fleet management, entertainment and security can all be provided on the LEC-5520. Track your vehicle through the onboard GPS module and provide security through 4 cameras. Display updated information to the driver, provide entertainment to passengers and send back information via mobile 3G signals. The LEC-5520 can handle all these applications and is designed for vehicles such as buses, cash vans, emergency vehicles and trains.
"The LEC-5520 is carefully designed to incorporate industrial electrical and mechanical features that make this box as rugged as possible," said Eric Chiu, Lanner Embedded Computing Director. "With the added features of GPS modules, 3G cellular communication and WiFi, the LEC-5520 is truly an ideal platform for any intelligent transportation application. The addition an FCC CE certification help assure our customers of Lanner's manufacturing and QA processes."
The LEC-5520 utilizes an onboard H.264 codec chip to convert captured footage into high quality video. This allows the LEC-5520 maximize the amount of video captured onto its single hard drive. Video is captured through 4 BNC analog inputs, allowing the use of cheaper and more reliable analog video cameras.
This platform is built around the 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor which through utilizing less electricity, giving off less heat, allowing the LEC-5520 to be a fanless system- which improves reliability in the field.
Besides the I/O for the DVR, the platform has both HDMI and VGA video outputs. In terms of communication there is gigabit Ethernet, WiFi, 3G mobile communications, and a GPS module for tracking. Additionally, the LEC-5520 includes wide power input range (10-36V), dual power in via DC jack and Phoenix contact, and 12V DC / 1Amp out to power peripherals such as cameras and sensors.
Other hardware specifications include an internal 2.5" hard drive bay, CompactFlash socket, four USB 2.0 ports, two high speed serial UARTs, an RS-485 serial port, alarm/relay, and 1GB DDR2 memory IC onboard (expandable to 2GB via So-DIMM).
Lanner provides a comprehensive SDK and reference software to help customers get started even more quickly. The EyeShot 2000 Control Panel software provides basic features for camera control, PTZ, file storage and streaming, as well as advanced features including motion detection, night detection and scalable video coding. The Eyeshot 2000 Control Panel can be used for evaluation purposes and the completed application, Eyeshot 3000 can also be made available. The system supports Linux and Windows, and the SDK includes features for alarm I/O, streaming, RS-485 control and display.
The Lanner LEC-5520 is currently available in limited supply for sample orders. For more information or to request a sample, contact a Lanner representative at sales@lannerinc.com, or visit us on the web at http://www.lannerinc.com/transport/LEC-5520
