Grundig’s new 960h DVRs work together with Grundig NVRs to allow hybrid analogue and IP camera systems.
Grundig’s new 960h, analogue DVR range offers intuitive configuration and operation. The DVRs can be used in the same system as the company’s IP-based NVRs, when co-ordinated and controlled by the firm’s GCMS central monitoring software. This allows installers to use analogue and IP cameras together in a hybrid system. Analogue cameras can be fitted where Full HD resolution is not required and the system allows for upgrading from analogue to IP cameras. GCMS software allows remote access to the DVRs for set up and configuration. The recorders use a Linux operating system and share the same user interface as the NVRs. The Internet Explorer web browser allows live viewing, playback, search, back-up and remote configuration and the firm’s GR Viewer app is also enabled for viewing by iPhone or Android smartphone.
The range of recorders includes eight (GRA-D2208A) and 16 (GRA-D4416A) channel models. Both support Pelco Coaxitron PTZ telemetry control and remote camera configuration over the coaxial connection.
The 960h analogue images have a resolution of 976 x 582 pixels, 36 per cent larger than the industry-standard analogue resolution of D1. To take advantage of the increased detail 960h offers, all the cameras, DVRs and monitors in a system must be 960h. For installation flexibility, Grundig has ensured its 960h DVRs are compatible with most other manufacturers’ 960h products.
Factory settings include pre-configured recording modes and user and alarm management set-up. Tamper alarm alerts, four privacy zones per channel and pre and post alarms are included. Users can make “smart timeline” searches, including a “three click” export and back-up function, event thumbnail search and easy archiving.
The DVRs have slots for up to five SATA II HDDs and an eSATA slot for more external storage. Connection options include three USB 2.0 ports; RS485 and RS232 ports for PTZ or keyboard connectivity; nine or 17 x alarm inputs, including one for remote reset; eight or 16 alarm outputs with relays; audio inputs per channel with two or four outputs; HDMI, S-Video and VGA ports for multi-view display with two or four spot monitor options; and two RJ485 network ports for remote access.
