The Digital Video Recorder 430/451 Series is a video and audio recording system that records 

multiple camera and audio signals while simultaneously providing live multiscreen viewing and 

playback.

The unit has comprehensive search and playback facilities for viewing stored video. Once 

configured, all recording takes place in the background without requiring operator 

intervention. Maximum recording rates for CIF resolution of 30 (NTSC) and 25 (PAL) images 

per second, per channel, are guaranteed. For 2CIF and 4CIF, recording is possible by 

recording at a lower images per second setting. The recording rate and quality are selectable 

per camera. One internal hard disk provides various storage capacities for recording.

All models have extensive alarm handling functions and telemetry control. Alarm functions 

include motion detection in user-definable areas of the image on any camera input.

The unit can be easily operated and programmed via the front panel control keys, mouse, and 

the on-screen display menu system. Two monitor outputs provide full-screen, quad, and 

sequenced viewing.

Looping auto-terminating video inputs and outputs, audio inputs and outputs, and alarm 

inputs and outputs are on the rear panel. A VGA connector provides output for an A monitor. A 

CVBS video output in either NTSC or PAL is also provided for Monitor B. Monitor A displays 

full-screen or quad digital pictures that can be frozen and zoomed. Monitor B displays live full-

screen pictures.

Use the Control Center Web application via a network for live viewing, playback, and 

configuration. Four simultaneous users can control the DVR. The DVR also includes an 

authenticity check for both local and remote playback. A dedicated PC player is provided for 

playback of secure video files.

There are various DVR 430/451 Series models: 4-channel basic and 4-channel advanced. Both 

basic and advanced versions operate in exactly the same way. The advanced version has 

additional alarm outputs, audio inputs, and a DVD burner.
