DESCRIPTION
The Veo 120XXN Series digital video recorder (DVR) is a professional, yet easy to use digital video
recorder that replaces the traditional VCR and multiplexer combination by offering the excellence and
flexibility of the latest digital video recording advancements.
One of the critical benefits of the Veo 120XXN is the usage of MPEG-4 video compression, which not
only allows the user the ability to view and control the DVR over the wide area network but also results
in a smaller video file sizes. The smaller file sizes, in turn, allow for longer storage times as compared
with other digital video compression technologies.
Additionally, the Veo 120XXN Series allows recording video at resolutions up to 704x480, which yields
sharp and clear images, creating high quality footage for later use and retrieval. Full-motion video can
be recorded in CIF resolution (352x240 NTSC, 352x288 PAL), since Veo 120XXN Series supports the
recording speed of up to 120 frames per second. Moreover, this unit allows customizing the recording
frame rate individually for each video input. This, in turn, ensures that the specific custom requirements
for length of video retention for each given installation are met. For investigation or archiving purposes,
video recordings can be easily exported to external storage, such as DVD-R, CD-R or USB flash.
With the ability to control pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) cameras such as the daVinci domes, the Veo 120XXN has
the potential to become a powerful control tool in any surveillance installation. In addition, this DVR
can trigger video recording and/or alarms based on motion or external contacts, which transforms Veo
120XXN into an automated monitoring and notification device.
This versatile unit offers the choice of VGA, S-Video and composite main monitor outputs. The main
monitor output can be configured to display video inputs in MUX mode (quad screen) or in sequential
mode (full screen). This DVR’s spot monitor can serve as an effective control and as a deterrent to
potential perpetrators.
In conclusion, the Veo 120XXN is designed to meet the performance and reliability expectations of the
security industry professionals. Combining invaluable security features such as the ability to capture log
entries for any changes to the system, and user access management, the Veo 120XXN series represents
the entry-level digital video recorder capable of protecting assets and people.
