Recorders: Video surveillance is a rapidly growing and effective means of providing security for today's businesses and homes. It offers improved loss prevention and can offer a reduction in user theft and liability insurance premiums. While an integral component to any security system, today's current recording and archival systems (Analog/Digital Multiplexers and VCRs, Video Cassette Recorders) greatly reduce the potential advantages of video surveillance imaging. Recently, the development of more cost-effective digital storage mediums and advancements in digital video capture technology has resulted in a superior product, the Digital Video Recorder or "DVR". Buying directly from the manufacturer allows Contax Security to offer our clients competitive prices that are easy on the pocket. Financing is available on our professional series of DVRs. All DVR packages include keyboard, mouse and UPS. Additionally the professional line includes a CD-RW, USB Memory Drive and an isolation transformer. Pace Setter Technologies is a North American company, specialized in the manufacture of high quality 'Digital Video Recorders' for the CCTV security market. User friendly, feature rich and easily integrated into existing video surveillance systems, they provide unparalleled flexibility. Combine this with our 'Total Value' client approach and you'll understand why so many have chosen PST as their preferred DVR manufacturer. Remote accessibility. One of the most popular features of our DVR's is network capability that allows them to be connected to other computers all over the world. An authorized person can access the recorder remotely and watch live video of the site, or review recorded video of earlier events. Check in on your business from home, or check in on your home from work, either way you can see what's happening 24 hours a day no matter where you are. Superior resolution. Video cameras available today have increasingly high resolutions. Our DVR's are capable of taking full advantage of them by reproducing far more detail than tape. This may be the difference between a successful identification and just another fuzzy picture of a suspect. Easy Searches. Our DVR's keep track of all recorded video several ways to help you find events faster. The simplest way is to enter a date and time you wish to view, and within seconds you will be watching it. Secondly our DVR's can be set to record on certain events (such as a door opening or closing, some one moving in front of the camera, etc.) so you can zoom to a specific event without having to watch an empty room for hours. With the intelligent search capabilities of our DVR's you can go right to the scene you want to review almost instantly, saving hours of fruitless searching. Easy Upgrades. Since our DVR's are computer based we can provide regular upgrades easily, without the need to purchase any new hardware or causing lengthy downtimes. This ensures that you will have access to the latest features and software without losing your current information. Intelligent Recording. Our DVR's remove the responsibility of managing the tapes from the operator and we can be sure that when we need to review an incident it will be there and not lost due to operator error. DVR's eliminate the shelves of videotapes required to store past recordings. Our DVR's can provide weeks or even months of recording time on its internal hard drive. This can be extended with useful features such as the ability to only record when there is movement in front of the camera; by ignoring empty rooms recording time is increased. A 3.5 " floppy drive is included and optional CD-RW's or USB Memory Drives can be installed into the DVR allowing you to export images or video clips. You can then open them later on another PC for printing, enhancing, or sending to others.
