1GENERAL INFORMATION AND SPECIFICATIONS
1.1 INTRODUCTION
DVR stands for Digital Video Recorder with one common goal, allowing end-users to record / retrieve real
time video files with a few mouse clicks. Within the last decade, video encrypt/decrypt algorithms achieved
noticeable improvement along with the availability of large capacity digital storage devices that draw attention
to designing DVR systems. With this in mind, 247Security Inc. has designed and built the ZEUS Series equipment
to make this transition smooth for the in-vehicle applications, specifically the transportation industry.
The ZEUS employs high performance video compression modified h.266 standard to optimize video/audio
data stream so that it can be sent over a network or stored directly on a local disk. The compression algorithm
mainly runs on a DSP Engine, therefore freeing up valuable resources within the system to do other jobs. The
ZEUS has features such as dynamic bit rate, controllable frame rate (max 120fps total), image quality control,
real-time previewing on all channels, alarm triggers, sensor configuration, easy retrieval and transfer of video
files over WIFI/LAN, GPS tracking and much more. In addition, ZEUS allows end-users to independently
manipulate these parameters for each camera if desired.
1.2 SPECIFICATIONS

•Each channel can be set independently using D1 (720x480), CIF (360x240), DCIF (528x352)
configurations
Video Compression
•Modified h.266 compression, high quality video images and low bandwidth usage on the market
today. Four different levels of video quality configurations.
