Geutebruck’s new Nano DVR concept for VIPCAM and CAM2IP IP sources

Geutebruck is giving all its systems the capacity for decentralised video recording on standard commercial SDHC cards. This so-called Nano DVR concept enables situations to be documented and analysed without a direct system link to the camera.

The latest firmware for the VIPCAM-DN101/PX, an extremely high resolution day/night network camera with a hyper wide dynamic range, and for the CAM2IP, a camera server for integrating analogue cameras into Geutebruck networks, enables video data to be fed straight to the built-in SD card slots whether or not the devices have a network connection. With a preformatted 32 GB SDHC card and using the basic activity detection function or a relay contact to control recording, you can store up to 32 hours of live video in 2CIF format or significantly longer durations with lower picture rates or smaller formats (e.g. 1 fps @ 2CIF = 800 hours). You can switch the activity mode via the input contact of the digital interface, and use the output side for distributing error and status messages.

The video data is stored on the card in Geutebruck's proprietary GBF format. It is password-protected and accessed using the card reader provided with the camera or server unit. The necessary GSCView viewing software is copied to the memory card after formatting so that recorded footage can be displayed on any computer with a Pentium 4 processor or better. Older VIPCAM-DN101/PX and CAM2IP devices can be updated for standalone use with the new firmware, which comes in the latest GeViScope software package. For more information, visit its homepage.
