Virage DVR Features

Total recording flexibility

The Virage DVR system is totally flexible, allowing recording at any image update rate, from under 1 frame a second time-lapse right up to full frame rate on each camera independently. Choose any combination of continuous, scheduled, event-triggered (with pre-event), and snapshot recording. Virage DVR can store recorded images directly to hard disc, with storage capacity and duration configurable for all applications. Multiple circular buffers allow images from selected cameras to be stored for differing periods. For longer-term storage, backup/archive media can be selected to best match operational requirements. Selecting from CD, DVD or USB hard drive allows a system to be tailored to suit your exact requirements.

Intelligent video motion detection

The Virage DVR system includes sophisticated VMD, designed for external as well as internal applications. It offers a level of sophistication and resilience to false alarms, previously associated only with costly task specific devices.

Networking

The Virage DVR system incorporates the most versatile remote access facilities available today. Remote locations can be monitored via dial-in or automatic dial-out on alarm. Once accessed, live images can be monitored, and recorded images can be retrieved and reviewed. Remote relays offer the facility to control items such as barriers or building management systems and bi-directional audio allows communication with remote site visitors or intruders. For projects with more than one site, multi-site prioritisation ensures that key locations or events always gain monitoring priority. Virage DVR's remote facilities can operate over a host of communication networks, including broadband, ISDN, PSTN, GSM, intranet and internet.

Alarm data handling

Image recording can be linked directly with incoming data streams. Keywords, numbers or sequences can activate image capture. Images can be quickly retrieved using date, time and camera information or any other associated data field.

Dynamic PTZ

Virage DVR supports drivers for a host of standard commercially available telemetry, allowing simple, cost-effective inclusion of fully functional cameras at remote locations. Automatic control of PTZ cameras can be tied into alarm activity.

Virage DVR Applications

The flexible Virage DVR range suits all applications. In retail applications Virage DVR can help to prevent shrinkage and protect staff by monitoring merchandising space and till transactions as well as exposed areas such as cash offices, stock rooms and car parks.

Virage DVR is the ideal security solution for use at petrol stations by linking captured images with EPOS data and utilising numberplate recognition to prevent drive-off crime.

In industrial and commercial applications Virage DVR is now the variable replacement for traditional analogue systems. By solving difficulties such as inflexible recording, cumbersome tape management, deteriorated image quality and frequent maintenance requirements, Virage DVR adds value and flexibility to any new or existing CCTV system.

Already successful with financial institutions, Virage DVR provides an advanced security solution for monitoring all forms of branch activity and cash machine transactions. The need of corporate properties can be met by Virage DVR large system solutions. In towns, shopping centres, sports and leisure locations, Virage DVR allows large numbers of cameras to be recorded, monitored and intelligently managed via one powerful system. By simplifying operator interaction, deployed CCTV can be exploited more effectively.

For utilities and transportation networks, Virage DVR represents a cost-effective solution to the management of remote CCTV deployed over a wide area.
