New H.264 Standalone DVR

Description

This new Design uses H.264 compression which increases the quality and amount of video footage stored on the Sata hard drive. Available in 4, 8 and 16 channel versions. The 4 and 8 channel each come with a single 500GB Sata hard drive while the 16 channel comes with a single 1TB Sata hard drive. The Linux embedded operating system provides exellent longterm stabilty and reliability. A mouse or a hand held remote control can be used to interact with the operating system and the Dvr is supplied with both.

Download and Playback

Downloading video footage is very simple and user friendly. The user provides a start and a finish time of the video footage required and then selects the camera numbers to be downloaded. Once this is done the destination of the download is set and the download is executed. A 4GB USB drive is supplied with every Standalone Dvr. The USB Drive can be used to transfer downloaded recordings to a PC. Playback is also very simple. The downloaded video footage file is itself an executable file which will start a playback interface containing the downloaded footage. This executable file will play on any Microsoft Operating system.

Remote Software

Configuring the remote software is very straight forward and as always technical support is provided by SKS. The main menu is very user friendly. Placing the mouse over a button shows the buttons function. An Auto Detect function on the main menu will locate any Standalone Dvrs on the LAN in the same subnet. Several Dvrs can be active on the remote software at the same time.  Video footage can also be downloaded via the remote software. A save option opens a download menu where the start and finish time and camera numbers are selected. When the back-up is finished a location is set by the user and the selected footage is saved to the host PC. As result no physical access to the Standalone Dvr is required.
Each camera is also transmitted on the http protocol and can be veiwed individually. The default port for this protocol is port 80 but this can be redefined by the user.
