DVTEL has released the Meridian NVR. It’s described as a plug-and-play networked recording appliance that practically self-installs. Available in four and 16-port models, Meridian NVRs combines a network video recorder, including Ethernet switch, automatic set-up features and video management software, in a single appliance. It automatically delivers power via PoE and IP addresses, configures cameras for motion detection, and starts recording without user intervention.

Yoav Stern, President and CEO, DVTEL, said: “DVTEL is very pleased to bring the Meridian NVR to market. We believe there is a great opportunity to address the needs of the small- to medium-sized business market with a video management system that delivers quick deployment, reduced maintenance costs and ease of installation. Meridian enables installers with basic IT expertise to deploy a full-featured IP video solution in less time than is required to deploy an analogue system.”
The product offers digital zoom, camera tours, PTZ control and intelligent video searches to quickly retrieve captured video through thumbnail and event searches. The NVR offers up to 6 GB of internal storage that can be extended through an external eSATA connection. The plug-and-play system provides flexible management connections through a fiber or copper Gigabit uplink. The recorder is compatible with DVTEL’s Quasar IP camera line and supports third-party cameras from Axis Communications.
“With Meridian, we are leveraging our expertise in enterprise-class systems to deliver solutions to the small and mid-sized market that feature ease of deployment in both installation and management. In doing so, we are helping our resellers tap into new markets and build revenue opportunities,” Stern said. “Meridian offers automatic plug-and-play operation that allows integrators and dealers to dramatically reduce installation times so they can focus their attention on providing a high-level of support to their customers.”
