The NG Systems PINGER is a portable hand-held instrument designed for engineers involved in the installation and/or maintenance of IP-based CCTV camera systems. It will interrogate a local area network (LAN) and report on all active cameras found, displaying their Make, Model, MAC address, IP address and Port Number (if available), on its backlit, 80 character LCD display. In addition, camera IP addresses, subnet and gateway may be configured, and PTZ functions (where applicable) tested.

PINGER saves valuable on-site time:
• No need to wait for the operating system to boot up, PINGER’s firmware kicks in as soon as it is switched on.
• No need to find a convenient mains power point, PINGER’s built-in Lithium-Ion battery lasts for up to 8 hours on a full charge and can be quickly re-charged from any USB port or from the AC adaptor (supplied).
• No need to locate, load and run individual camera manufacturers detection and configuration software, PINGER is preloaded for detection and configuration of most major brands. (Firmware upgrades available over the internet as new brands are added).
• No need to check for availability of PoE on Ethernet ports, PINGER provides an immediate LED indication and displays PoE voltage and mode.
• No need to perform a factory reset on cameras, with unknown IP addresses/ports, PINGER will find the information for you.
• No need to access CCTV workstations to test PTZ functionality, PINGER allows you to test each function individually from anywhere on the network or directly on the camera.
