The truVision DVR 31 is a network digital video recorder developed for digital
surveillance. The truVision DVR 31 uses an embedded microcontroller unit
(MCU) and Linux operating system, combining the most advanced technology in
video and audio encoding/decoding, hard disk recording, and TCP/IP
communication. The DVR’s firmware is stored directly into the memory, making it
more stable and reliable.
The truVision DVR 31 is an integrated digital video recorder that combines the
features of a time-lapse audio/video recorder, a multiplexer, and a video server to
create a single security solution.
The DVR 31’s pentaplex operation enables users to view live video, search and
play back any recorded video by date and time or by event, and back up the
configuration and video data, without interrupting the ongoing DVR recording
process.
In addition to the new H.264 compression mode, the DVR’s graphical user
interface also optimizes the monitoring controls of the unit.
The DVR 31 comes with remote viewing and configuration software already
installed. This software includes a Web browser plug-in, allowing users to view
live or recorded video images, and enabling remote configuration. The remote
software is stored in the DVR 31 and deployed over a LAN, WAN, or Internet
connection to remote Windows-based computers. This simplifies the installation
and maintenance of the software components because all remote users are
using the same software, which comes from the unit.
