Dedicated Micros launches market first in image archiving

The new BX2’s mirroring technology and easily removable drive caddies mean that customers can build archives of unlimited size and can remove up to two months of recorded data instantly – without having to power down or interrupt viewing or recording.With a total capacity of 1.2TB, arranged as two banks of 600GB mirrored (RAID1) storage, the BX2 is the ideal solution for customers who want to archive very large amounts of footage and for those who may need to transfer data to law enforcement agencies immediately.The four integrated RAID1 disks store two identical copies of all recorded data.  A pair of the disks can be removed directly from the machine at any time whilst recording continues unaffected.  This provides a failsafe backup is always in place should any disk fail.By regularly swapping out the RAID disk units, users can create continuous archives of unlimited capacity, without ever needing to pause recording or miss an event.  Once a unit is removed, a new one can be dropped in directly to maintain system performance. The easily-removable disk caddies also mean that there is no laborious copying to CD-R or DVD-R whenever video needs to be taken off the machine, minimising the potential for data loss and human error.  By providing a carbon copy of all recorded data, including its digital signature, there is no possibility of the information being lost or tampered with, critical for evidential  purposes.Data can be played back quickly and easily on any standard PC using an optional USB-connected caddie port and playback software, removing the need to invest in non-standard playback stations.

Dedicated Micros adds the DV-IP NV8 to its flagship DV-IP product range

The DV-IP NV8 is the flagship product in the DV-IP Range, offering real-time, full resolution recording on all connected cameras - be they analogue or IP*. An internal switch delivers high bandwidth video streams enabling 300Mbps of high definition streaming video for display when using 2 connected HDMI monitors. The DV-IP NV8s embedded real-time operating system (RTOS) has been designed from the ground up to specifically meet the needs of security applications.True Hybrid - IP or Analogue CamerasThe DV-IP NV8 is a true hybrid video server. Offering up to 32 camera connections in a combination of analogue or IP (including 3rd party IP cameras). Up to 16 analogue cameras can be connected, with the balance of the 32 camera connections being made up by IP camera streams - even HD cameras.High Bandwidth Video StreamingThe DV-IP NV8 includes a built-in switch to enable enable high bandwidth streaming of video. Video streams to be sent directly to the codec for realtime encoding of high resolution video.High Definition DisplayWith the inclusion of two local HDMI display outputs the DV-IP NV8 is able to instantly display live and recorded image streams from high definition and megapixel IP cameras.Flexible Encoding & Decoding CapabilitiesThe DV-IP NV8 has the ability to be used as a traditional Video Server solution or the powerful codecs can be focused on just encoding or decoding as part of a Pure IP System. For example in a control room scenario the DV-IP NV8 can be used to provide to completely configurable, high definition video monitors.View & Control Remote Cameras & Servers DirectlyIn addition to local control functionality, the DV-IP NV8 is equipped with a sophisticated digital matrix Video Management System (VMS), Embedded NetVu Console, that enables cameras connected to any NetVu Connected device on the same network to be viewed and controlled as if they were connected directly to the Video Server. This powerful feature allows users to access thousands of cameras from their local control position.Closed IPTVDedicated Micros' ground breaking Closed IPTV solution combines open standard IP protocols with patent pending innovation to provide simple to install, safe and secure IP video solutions across new or existing networks. Automatically allocating IP addresses to IP cameras by physical port, a Closed IPTV system is completely deterministic, creating firewalls and monitoring point-to-point IP connections so they cannot be hacked or intercepted. Critical to the security of a Closed IPTV system is the unique implementation of Trusted Endpoint technology; a secret signature, applied at lock down, enables endpoint devices such as IP cameras to be secure, immediately triggering a security alert should any interference be detected.Leverage the powerful DV-IP NV8 to incrementally grow your camera estate. Combine existing installed analogue cameras with secure IP and HD cameras from a Closed IPTV system, all shown together seamlessly. All that is required to take the next leap in video surveillance technology is Dedicated Micros unique Layer 3 Enhanced CCTV Switch and NetVu Connected IP cameras.Enterprise Video Server with RTOSReal-time, 4CIF/D1 recording per cameraUp to 32 inputs in a combination of analogue or IP*Internal switch provides up to 300Mbps of streamingAchieve playback recording, live viewing, streaming & archiving simultaneouslyCan be deployed as a Video Server, full encoding engine or full decoding engineForms part of a Closed IPTV system when used with a Layer 3 Enhanced CCTV Switch2 HDMI main monitor outputs for high definition displayHD IP Camera Recording6TB of local storage, expandable using eSATA and AoE RAIDAnalyticsCapableEmbedded VMS - NetVu ConsoleOn-board Help VideosMultiMode Recording - Dynamically-switchable resolution, record-rate & compression (MPEG4/JPEG/H.264) per cameraBuilt in DVD-R writer and USB ports for archiving evidential materialTransCoding - High quality recording and simultaneous video transmission using MPEG4, JPEG or H.264 for playbackRecoding of 3rd party IP cameras and devicesPer camera Polymorphic streams change resolution, bit rate and compression mid streamEmbedded Operating System

Dedicated Micros introduces a feature packed DVR range with Telemetry

The SD Range offers the user a high performance, easy to use plug and play DVR with selectable record duration providing up to 30 or 60 days recording. Now available in 4, 8, 12, 16 and 32 channel variants, the SD Range offers consistent recording duration and smooth motion video on ALL cameras. New "Normal, Medium and Low" recording models have been created which maintain consistent performance per camera, and off the shelf, guaranteed storage of up to 30 or 60 days. This allows the customer to build a CCTV solution that removes the need for extensive configuration. Menus allow per channel configuration to utilise full global PPS. Of course for those looking for more advanced features the SD's common user interface can be configured locally via its IR Remote Control/optional keyboard or remotely via web pages. Activity Detection, Alarm Reporting, Text support (for POS transactions), MultiMode Recording and of course Coax & Serial Telemetry are all included as standard in the SD Range. In addition, key variants in the range are able to take advantage of the advances in DM's software analytics programme. The AnalyticsCapable* technology recently introduced by Dedicated Micros will allow the user to deploy features such as ANPR, Object Left and Removed and People Counting to further enhance the value of their SD Range security solution. With the perfect combination of out of the box practicality and unrivalled levels of performance, the SD Range is the perfect mid-level DVR.
