This is considered a 'standalone' unit as it doesn't
require any type of external computer, though it CAN BE *NETWORKED
through its rear LAN port connection (RJ-45 type plug) for remote
access viewing from multiple computers and/ or even over the internet
(CD software included) from anywhere in the world. It can be viewed
on a standard RCA-capable television OR on most computer monitors
through the VGA output port (you must have adjustable settings).
We carry ONLY proven, stable video recording technology
and even the very best hard drives are installed. We special order
and install only 7200 RPM HDD drives with 8MB buffer by Western
Digital® and Maxtor®. It costs us more, but we feel it is
always worth it to use the best.
Common Applications:
•HIGHEST-LEVEL professional security solutions
•Remote video monitoring applications
•Scientific and industrial purposes
•Video monitoring which requires multiple audio recording
ability
Available Options:
500GB internal HDD storage included & installed
FREE (high quality 7200 RPM Western Digital® Caviar with 8MB
buffer).
Handheld wireless IR remote control included FREE
with each DVR-RT8 ordered.
FREE bonus accessory package includes RCA-BNC video
plug adapters, remote client software CD and more.
We can upgrade the HDD storage capacity in this
unit for you for an additional charge (currently the maximum internal
storage we can provide is 3.2 terabytes). Please contact us for
more information.
Variations / Alternate Equipment to Consider:
Aside from our 4 and 16 channel versions of this
model, we also carry a very nice 16 channel unit #DVR-N16 which
allows for 1-16 camera ability at record/ playback speed that is
very fast with good playback resolution. Since four cameras can
be limiting and even most inferior 8/9 camera systems are nearly
as expensive as the DVR-N16.
Both of our 16 channel models offers expandability
but can also serve as a nine camera or twelve camera unit just as
well. When you examine the cost ratio, it's generally found to be
much more advantageous to have a few unnecessary channels than to
pay extra and still be limited in ability. #DVR-N16 features 2 audio
inputs.
Cautions:
The only 'drawbacks' to this device that we've found:
It can only support multiple screen playback through the remote
client function, but not onscreen at the DVR itself- though you
can play back any desired channel in its own special frame WHILE
monitoring the rest in real time, with the ability to make that
channel a full-frame with fast-forward / reverse / pause actions.
Also, even though it would be nice to have built-in or external
direct CD / DVD backup ability, this model only currently supports
an external USB hard drive. But DVD backup is very overrated for
security DVRs for several reasons. First, most people wrongly assume
that a backup DVD disc can be viewed on a standard DVD player. It's
simply a form of digital media which can be recorded onto. Most
users would rather download the video clips directly into desktop
where they can be burned, etc. onto other mediums. * However, one
can play back the recorded clips through the composite output ports
directly into the composite inputs on a standalone DVD video recorder,
which then puts it into a medium more readily usable for external
video editing software programs, etc..
This is a classified as a security DVR, this is
not meant to be a 'broadcast booth' item here to solve all of your
high resolution video editing needs. Time/ date stamping and certain
overlay material, for example, cannot be removed from archived video.
The played back video is excellent and unmatched from any comparative
standpoint within the security DVR category, but even "full
D1 digital" can be seen to have minor imperfections ('grain')
depending on type, resolution and lens/ field of view with individual
camera.
*NOTE: Networking this recorder into a PC computer
system can potentially be confusing for some users. And, unfortunately-
based on type of computer, operating system and how particular settings
are configured- there are simply too many variables involved for
us to provide any kind of 'easy advice'. Networking issues are where
we must 'draw the line', since they are generally far too complex
and time consuming for our technicians to convey sight unseen over
the telephone. Please note that we DO NOT provide any technical
support regarding network or remote viewing operations
of this system.
