Honeywell has released its HRSD Systems Series embedded digital video recorders (DVRs).
The new DVR series uses Honeywell’s XtraStor compression technology that allows more storage space without compromising image quality, according to the makers. The HRSD Series is available in four, eight and 16-channels.
The makers say that the HRSD Series offers full-featured local and remote operation with flexible configuration capability, making it suitable for CCTV systems used in multiple markets including financial, retail, education and others. Users also can transfer video evidence files with a ‘clip-copy’ function that allows video, audio and text to be burned onto common media such as USB memory sticks.
What they say
“There is never a one-size-fits-all solution in video surveillance because CCTV surveillance systems have diverse requirements,” said Chris Koetsier, EMEA product marketing leader, Honeywell. “Because it supports a wide range of channel and storage capacities, the HRSD Series can meet a broad range of requirements and help organisations efficiently build their surveillance systems while minimising overall cost.”
The product is accessed over a digital network using Remote Administration System Plus (RASplus) software that can be used to simultaneously view live or stored video from up to 16 DVRs. Users can configure and download software updates to HRSD DVRs remotely from a central site, saving time and money by eliminating the need for separate site visits. The Series can operate with Honeywell’s new protocol interface translator, SmartPIT, for use in financial institutions and retail stores. The SmartPIT device relays text data from point-of-sale (POS) and automatic teller machine (ATM) systems to the HRSD. This provides a powerful search tool that can help loss prevention managers identify sources of internal theft at retail outlets. Similarly, investigators can use the technology to better investigate fraudulent ATM transaction claims for financial institutions. The System Series also includes Honeywell’s HRXD Series.
