The VDC Digital Recorder provides a one-box solution for multiplexing, digital recording of video images
from up to 9 cameras. It also includes a CD writer for backup and options for remote viewing via a dial-up or
Ethernet connection.
•
All you need for a digital recording system is the VDC recorder, up to 9 cameras and a display
monitor. This set-up will permit the video images from all the cameras to be recorded onto hard disc
for a period of typically 31 days. Beyond that time, the oldest images will be over-recorded by new
images. The number of days is selected the user and the VDC automatically calculates the update
rate to achieve this target.
•
Any images available on the hard disc can be played back without interrupting the recording
process. The active SEARCH facility allows images to be found by time and date.
•
The SWEEP mode allows the contents of the hard drives to be rapidly scanned for the easy location
of particular areas of interest even when the date and time is not known.
•
An EVENT list records alarms generated by the built-in activity detection and by external alarms
(e.g. PIR detectors). Events may be instantly recalled and replayed.
•
For permanently archiving images, a CD writer is included as standard in all VDC recorders. An
INCIDENT list is used to mark any sections of video that you wish to archive onto CD. A CD-R disc
provides a permanent record suitable for police use.
•
Incidents stored onto CD may be played back in any VDC, a VDM, or on a PC (no software
installation required)
•
The CD drive is also used to install firmware updates to the system. These will be made available on
CD and on the Internet if new features become available.
•
The removable hard drive provides the user with the ability to upgrade the drive capacity at any
time. Additionally, it also means minimal “down time” if the drive fails in service; a replacement drive
can be sourced and plugged in without the need for disconnecting the system.
