LE/LE-HC Series DVR User Manual
V1.4
October 2006
Chapter 1: Introduction
Overview
Thank you for purchasing the LE/LE-HC Series Digital Video Recorder. This product is ideal for all
of today's video security needs. From home users to industrial applications, the LE/LE-HC Series
DVRs can do it all – simply, completely and reliably. This high performance DVR has a built-in
dedicated web server, and record and display capability. Video is compressed using one of
several user selectable compression algorithms called codecs (compressor/decompressor). The
system will record this data onto a hard drive, overwriting the oldest recordings first, when the disk
is full. Video is displayed on a SVGA Monitor. The base system has four cameras, which can be
upgraded to a total of sixteen cameras (depending on the model purchased) with no loss of frame
rate.
This DVR is unique in that the software is contained (embedded) in a firmware module called a
DOM, which allows a fresh "re-install" every time the system is turned on. No need to worry about
the traditional problems of viruses, Trojans, software glitches or other Windows™ based issues as
the install is completely fresh every time. A small area of the module contains the user configured
data. No software is contained on the hard drive, so software cannot be corrupted.
Adding additional cameras to the system is as simple as turning off the DVR, plugging in another
four camera connector card, and turning it back on. Configuration is done in GUI mode with a
mouse, by the included remote controller in full screen mode or through a remote PC. This remote
PC control allows users to switch cameras, control any PTZ cameras installed, and change all the
features of the DVR, with the appropriate password authority.
The DVR is accessible through the Internet, or a local Intranet, with some simple configuration
modifications to the DVR. Through a registry server the LE/LE-HC Series DVR supports Dynamic
IP addresses.
The remote software is all browser based and accessible using any reasonably current version of
Windows™ Explorer. Linux, Mac and some PDAs are supported through additional (included)
software.
