applications
The DVR4C is a video recording system that can record up
to four camera signals with associated audio signals while
simultaneously providing live multiscreen viewing and
playback. The unit has comprehensive search and playback
facilities for viewing stored video. Once set up, all recording
takes place in the background without requiring operator
intervention. The maximum recording rate is 120 (NTSC)
and 100 (PAL) images per second in total.
The unit also has extensive alarm handling functions,
including motion detection in user-definable areas of the
image on any camera input. Input alarms and videoloss are
also treated as alarm signals.
The unit can be easily operated and programmed via the
front panel control keys and on-screen display menu system.
A monitor output provides full-screen and quad screen
viewing. USB supports easy archiving of video.
Via a network, PC-based applications can be used for live
viewing, playback and configuration. The DVR4C includes
an archive player for stand-alone PC playback. Authenticity
can be checked with the remote PC software.
Looping video inputs with termination switches, a video
output, alarm inputs and outputs, and an Ethernet connector
are on the rear panel. The monitor output provides a CVBS
video signal in either NTSC or PAL.
