SD Range
Introduction
What is …
SD Range ?
A comprehensive, digital recording solution, the SD Range allows customers to improve the
functionality of their CCTV solution without increasing their budget.Offering either JPEG or
MPEG-4 recording at scalable quality settings in PAL or NTSC format, the SD Range provides the
user with both high quality video images and minimum storage consumption.
Available with either 8, 12, 16 or 32* camera inputs and offering telemetry control, the SD range has
built in Alarm functionality and onboard Activity detection software. The MultiMode recording featurerecording feature
enables different recording rates, resolutions and compression formats to be set across scheduled,
normal, and alarm modes for each individual camera.
Its size and design enables it to be an ideal desktop solution, a perfect replacement for an existing
VCR/Mux installation, or an outstanding rst-time CCTV solution.
The user interface has a colour coded ‘Softkey’ interface and the conguration menus are common
to both the local monitor and web interface, making for easy set-up and operation.
The SD Range includes both an integrated CD-R Writer and USB ports for video archiving. The unit
also offers integrated text support, allowing users to connect with cash registers in retail applications
to monitor Point Of Sale (POS) locations. Capturing and associating video with the relevant text
information allows the user to search video footage by time, event, and text data to provide evidence
of fraud or to aid identication of regular offenders.
Among the many other features included as standard on the SD Range are; multiway display, picture
in picture viewing, remote monitoring using NetVu ObserVer, which uses DM’s unique TransCoding
capabillities to provide uent live and replay images, plus Dedicated Micros’ trademark plug and play
set-up with a user-friendly interface to keep installation and operator training to a minimum.
With telemetry control of up to 32 cameras, including coax telemetry, control of dome cameras,
audio recording and activity detection. The SD Range is the ideal product for single site and small to
medium sized businesses wishing to deploy a fully functional digital recording solution.
* 4 camera input model available after future development.
