SAN JOSE, Calif. — May 8, 2012— NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQGM: NTGR), a global networking company that delivers innovative products to consumers, businesses and service providers, today announced the release of NETGEAR ReadyNAS® Surveillance, a comprehensive IP surveillance solution incorporating surveillance software, storage, switching and network management. Customers and channel partners may connect any of over 1,000 supported name-brand IP camera models to complete the package. This product suite is the first to combine business-class IP video technologies with flexible, customizable endpoint options for building reliable, affordable and simple video monitoring solutions.

Small businesses and corporate branch offices require powerful and sophisticated options for protecting physical assets, but may lack deep expertise or big budgets. NETGEAR ReadyNAS Surveillance wraps four critical NETGEAR components into an affordable and simple suite for the first time:

• The new NETGEAR ReadyNAS Surveillance Network Video Recorder (NVR) software includes intelligent search, digital watermark and e-mapping technology and supports up to 16 simultaneous cameras, including megapixel and HD models. Video may be viewed on the Web or played back on mobile clients, including Apple® iPhone®, Apple iPad®, Android™, and BlackBerry® devices.
• The NETGEAR ReadyNAS family of network storage devices is an uncompromising business-class video platform. For example, the Pro 2 model offers up to 80Mbps (240 fps @1.3M, H.264).
• NETGEAR ProSafe® Smart and Managed switches feature NETGEAR ProSafe hallmarks: VLAN support, Power over Ethernet, QoS, stacking technologies and simple installation.
• Five NETGEAR Network Management Software (NMS200) licenses are also included. NMS200 is a single management platform for NETGEAR devices, ensuring connectivity, configuration and monitoring across all storage and switching components. Additional licenses are available to cover multi-site installations.

"With NETGEAR ReadyNAS Surveillance, we no longer have to pay for a large 16-camera system or an expensive CCTV consultant when we only need a modest solution that works with our existing infrastructure," said Robert Cortese of 7 Bamboo Karaoke Lounge. "Recording in true 1280p HD, NETGEAR ReadyNAS Surveillance meets the security requirements of our business, as well as our budget."

“The security industry is reputed for its resilience during recessions because of both real and perceived security concerns during times of financial uncertainty,” said Pushan Rinnen, research director for storage at Gartner Inc. “We expect that demand for video surveillance equipment will remain strong, and SMB customers will be attracted by total solutions.”

“NETGEAR ReadyNAS Surveillance brings professional quality surveillance technologies to the small and medium business market,” said Matt Pahnke, senior product marketing manager at NETGEAR. “We’re already the global leader in smart switching and in unified storage system units, and are delighted to bring to market the widest combination of products that’s easy to implement and manage for partners and end users alike.”
