Features and Capabilities
Channels – This 8 channel DVR allows you to record and view up to 8 video cameras simultaneously.
Easy Scheduler – Featuring an intuitive interface, it’s easy to schedule the most simple or complicated weekly recording plans. Record continuously during business hours, and switch to motion detection at night – you have complete control.
Individual Channel Configuration – Individual channel configuration allows you to adjust the color, frame rate, quality, motion detection and recording schedule for each camera being recorded by your DVR. This allows you to optimize your system by allocating system resources to your most important coverage areas without wasting valuable hard drive space or DVR horsepower (FPS, resolution) on the cameras that you don’t care about, You have complete control.
Loss Detection – The automatic video loss detection feature allows you to program your DVR to alert you in the event of a lost camera signal – due to power failure, inclement weather, cut cables or other criminal activity. This event can trigger a recording with other cameras, sirens, lights, or other external devices.
H.264 Compression – H.264 is a stable, proven and widely used compression technology, offering unbeatable recording picture quality and a small compression ratio that saves valuable hard drive storage space (5-10 times smaller than MPEG4).
Motion Detection – The DVR's motion detection feature allows user to pre-define motion detection zones and sensitivity for each individual camera. When motion is detected by the DVR, this will trigger a pre-programmed event — usually recording — or can activate an external device, such as an alarm. The primary benefit is that you record only relevant video, not taking up enormous amounts of hard drive space, and only recording when there is motion in areas you care about. This also saves you from looking thru countless hours of useless video where nothing is happening — instead, you can quickly scan thru the captured activity in the pre-defined area of coverage.
Overwrite Protection – This optional feature protects your valuable video and audio files from being overwritten by the DVR. The DVR can also be pre-programmed to overwrite when the hard drive is full, which is commonly used for continuous record applications.
QuadPlex Operation – Quadplex operation enables simultaneous live, recording, playback, backup and allowing you to view your DVR locally or via network without stopping recording.
Pre-Alarm Recording – Pre-alarm recording allows your DVR to constantly save a pre-defined length of buffered video, and only record that video when motion is sensed, so that you capture all events leading up to an incident. This feature typically works in combination with your motion detection feature — and is especially powerful when defining a smaller motion detection zone within your camera’s field of view.
Recording – This DVR features real-time video recording at 120 FPS @ 352x240 or 60 FPS @ 720x480. This allows you to select either seamless full-motion recording or recording at higher resolutions, which is more important to you.
Video Management – The DVR features several video management tools, including a powerful event search function – via manual search, schedule, motion, sensor, network, or all. This enables your DVR to automatically create a list of events captured by your system — so that you can easily navigate to each event, or look for events within a particular time frame and quickly replay the video. Needless to say, this save you valuable time – especially when the suspect is still making his escape.
Video Output – This DVR features selectable video output via BNC and VGA, and is compatible with security or pc-based monitors.
