Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the DVS-210-1 Video Encoder. The DVS-210-1 is a versatile solution that allows
you to make the most of your existing analog surveillance infrastructure. The DVS-210-1 is a standalone system with a
built-in video encoder that converts an analog camera into a full-featured IP-based system. The DVS-210-1 can be remotely accessed
and controlled using a Web browser over an Intranet or the Internet.
Features
Digitally Transform Existing Hardware
The DVS-210-1 Video Encoder makes it possible to integrate a pre-existing analog surveillance infrastructure into a fully-functional IP
surveillance system. The DVS-210-1 is an ideal choice for banks, airports, factories, government buildings, prisons, and trafc surveillance
applications - any location where surveillance equipment is already installed and functioning.
Manage, Record, and View Video with Ease
The hardware encoder supports MPEG-4 / MJPEG video with frame rates of up to 30fps at D1 resolution. E-mail notications help to keep
you up to date whenever a video event occurs. Event recordings can be stored directly to an SD card, or saved to an FTP server.
Simplify Surveillance with Advanced Alarms and Events
Alarm handling features provide alerts in the event of loss of video or loss of network connection. Motion alarms with congurable detection
areas allow for effective surveillance and help to mitigate the need for constant human supervision. A buffer system allows the server to
capture images to the built-in SD card slot before and after an event occurs.
