1.1Digital video recorder for security 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.
