•The Vi101, Vi205, Vi302, Vi405 and ViX05 digital recorders from Videoswitch are
part of the ViX05 range
•These products are designed to be easy to use whilst offering high quality digital
video recording and playback, primarily for CCTV security applications.
•The video images from all connected cameras are continuously recorded onto the
built-in hard drives. When the drives are full, the ViX05 keeps on recording,
overwriting the oldest images.
•Images are retained for a specified user programmable number of days, typically
31. All images recorded within the period will be available for replay. Older image
are no longer available.
•Several methods are provided for finding the recorded images you want quickly,
including date/time searches and activity or alarm event searches
•The built-in CD writer allows a selected part or parts of the recorded information to
be written onto a CD, typically to back-up an incident for use as evidence by the
Police.
•The recording process continues all the time, even when playing back or writing to
CD.
•Audio recording is standard on the Vi205, Vi405 and Vi605.
•Ethernet is also a standard feature allowing remote viewing via a local area network
(LAN) or via Broadband Ethernet
•An optional dial-up module allows images to be viewed on a PC via a telephone line

This manual covers a range of products and therefore describes features that do not exist in
