In our own product mix the new DX47/4800 series sits between the DX8100 and 45/4600. For DX8100 customers being pressured by pricing and features from the embedded market; and for analog customers that need to add megapixel IP. In fact the DX47/4800 meets a vast portion of the DX8100 capabilities - for example features such as ATM/POS recording, improved audio recording and more - at just a fraction of the price.
As the DVR5100 is no longer available – the DX4800 becomes a very reasonably priced replacement for those customers looking for real time recording at 4 CIF.
For Real-time recording 4 CIF recording, three years ago the mix was about 90% SD to 10% HD; last year that changed to 50/50. This year everyone will be expecting megapixel, or high-definition recording. That’s what we’re addressing. Three years ago when we introduced DVR5100 we could support up to 16 IP cameras on structured cabling. Now that we’ve released the DX47/4800, customers can take advantage of their existing structured cabling – as well as take advantage of cheaper cabling for analog requirements. Available with eight or 16 analog channels — plus two additional, dedicated megapixel camera channels — DX4700 and DX4800 offer an unmatched combination of power and performance in a cost- effective package for mid-range applications.
