Introduction

1. 1 Digital 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.
Looping video inputs with termination switches, a video
output, alarm inputs and outputs, and an Ethernet
connector are on the rear panel. The monitor output
provides a CVBS video signal in either NTSC or PAL.
