Description

H.264 compression format
DR-N video recorders are based on H.264 compression format, which is today the most efficient algorithm available for surveillance recording. Compared with traditional MJPEG and MPEG4 technologies, with the H.264 compression the video files are smaller and the storing capacity of the DVR is much larger.
Besides, the video streaming over local network or Internet needs less bandwidth, providing better image quality and frame rate when accessing the DVR from a remote site.

Hard disk recording
In order to provide the maximum flexibility, DR-N video recorders are supplied without hard disk.
One
SATA Hard Drive of any brand and capacity can be installed, in order to tailor recording capacity to your real needs.
Compression can also be adjusted to match your storage requirements. As a reference 1TB HDD contains D1
videos from 16 cameras for about 7 days at maximum quality and about 160 days at maximum compression.
DR-N16 accept up to 2 Hard Drives, one inside the unit and the other one in an HDD tray on the front panel.

High resolution
DR-N video recorders capture high resolution, D1 videos (704x576 pixels), ensuring clear full screen images.
The high frame rate of the DVR is digitally controlled to ensure real time video.

All features of the DR-N video recorders can be controlled using the front panel keys, the infrared remote control or a convenient PC style mouse.
When using the mouse control option, the mouse arrow appears on the screen and the DVR can be fully programmed and controlled without any other command, as it was a PC-based unit

Advanced networking features
DR videorecorders can be connected to a LAN or to the Internet via the Ethernet port. Real-time video streaming, archive search, speed dome camera controls, outputs activation as well as full DVR setting can be performed from a remote PC just using your Internet Explorer browser.
In addition, a free Central Monitoring Station (CMS) software is included.

Access via Mobile phones, PDA, iPhone
It is also possible to access the DVR from the Internet using the most common mobile equipment. Fully compatible with  3G/3.5G mobile phone, iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry, PDA with Windows Mobile, Symbian, Android O.S.

Free applications for iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry and PDA are included with the DVR and enable real-time live video streaming (no single frames) and even PTZ speed dome remote control.

Easy back-up by USB port
Unlike most low-cost DVR's, DR videorecorders come with an USB port and built-in drivers for plug and play control of USB Hard Disks, Pen Drives and DVD burners.
The movie files (.H264) can be saved on external devices just pressing a button. A free player is provided for playing the videos and exporting to AVI format.

Hexaplex operation
For maximum security the DVR never stops recording. Surveillance is still operating even in case of managing Display options, Recording, Playing archived videos, Networking, Video back-up and DVR setting.

Advanced Speed-dome control

You can take control of your speed dome from the front keypad, the remote control and even from a remote PC or mobile device. The advanced user interface gives access to all camera features including preset, cruise, tour and configuration menu. No need of buying a special keyboard for speed dome control.
