The ARM Electronics DVR162000HD480 is a generation ahead of the regular embedded system DVRs with technologies like triplex operation, motion detection, built in PTZ camera controls, central monitoring, flexible configuration and others.

The DVR receives video inputs from 16 different cameras and gives you the output in NTSC or PAL format as per your choice. With 480 frames per second recording and playback resolution of 720x480, you are assured of excellent video quality. Moreover, a digital zoom up to 2x makes it convenient for you to focus on distant objects.

The recorded videos are compressed into H.264 or MPEG-4 format in the 2TB hard disk, thus ensuring practically no loss in the quality of the stored footages. You can also record real-time audio in synchronization with the video. Audio input through the RCAx 2 line in channels is compressed into ADPCM, G.726. You can transfer the stored footage onto a 2.0 USB or CD/DVD R/W, and free up the system memory.

With this DVR, apart from recording an event, you can also view and playback the same simultaneously. The playback option lets you Play, Stop, Pause, Rewind, Forward or Search as you desire. Even the playback speed can be set to 1x, 2x - 32x as per your requirement.

You can retrieve the footage by specifying the date, time or event, thus making it simpler for you to search the vast 2TB storage space. Another interesting aspect about this DVR is that you can view footages from as many as 16 DVRs, each with 16 ports, on a single monitor. This makes it easy for you to take in the entire scenario at just one glance.

To make your surveillance more effective, the motion detection feature ensures that no activity in the surveillance zone is missed - it also avoids non-stop recording and unnecessary usage of the DVR's memory. Motion detectors, along with the alarm system, function as a single unit which signals whenever any motion in the field is detected.

Networking and access to the Internet are some of the other useful features of the Arm electronics 16 CH 480 FPS DVR. The compatibility not only ensures complete surveillance but also proves useful for keeping up with the latest software updates for the system.

When it comes to ruggedness, the DVR works equally well under climatic challenges - temperatures ranging from 32 - 104° Fahrenheit and atmospheric humidity ranging from 5% - 85%. Such high-value features amalgamated with top performance in difficult weather conditions have made these DVRs justifiably popular in surveillance and observation requirements.

• 480 FPS Recording

The 480 FPS recording across 16 channels ensures high quality real-time video. The high FPS rate makes sure that even the fastest movement within the frame provides maximum details when played back at a slower rate.

• 2TB Storage

Three hard drive bays allow for long-term storage. With 2TB memory, approximately 700 hours of VGA quality video footage can be stored without having to worry about running out of storage space.

• Triplex Operation

The Triplex Operation lets the user view, record, playback and remotely monitor, all at the same time. Even when you are busy recording the Triplex Operation helps the system carry on its regular surveillance. This feature also enables the user to freeze a desired frame while the live recording is happening. Put together, these advantages make live editing simpler.

• Built-in PTZ Control

The PTZ control helps to control PTZ cameras without the need for external controllers. It sports controls like pan, zoom tilt and so on. Custom PTZ protocols can be set apart from the default ones. This helps in recording events even if the subject is moving out of the frame. It does away with the need to additionally invest in an external controller.

• MPEG-4 Compression

The MPEG-4 Compression feature helps maximize the storage for faster transmit and download speeds and at the same time not compromising the quality of the video. This also makes archiving less time consuming.

• Motion Detection

This feature can maximize the storage by recording only when motion is detected. It also makes editing of the footages easy by not recording things that are not essential for the observer. Along with the alarming device, the motion detection can signal any motion in the field or if the subject in the frame goes out of the field.

• Flexible Configuration

With this feature one can individually configure any camera's record rate and resolution depending upon the application. Apart from the 8 preset levels of video quality, the user can also customize the configuration to suit his requirements. In other words, this makes sure that occurrences of minimal importance are toned down to a standard that's just essential. The flexibility avoids unnecessary wastage of the system memory.

• Auto Configuration

This feature enables one to automatically configure the camera's record rate and resolution based on the number of recording days needed. This avoids unwanted interruption in terms of memory shortage during long, fixed hours of surveillance.

• Quick Set Up

USB flash drives can be used to save settings and easily download them to multiple DVRs. The quick set up saves time taken in setting up similar configurations for several DVRs. It also ensures that exactly the same configuration is set in the desired DVRs and rules out human error.

• Multiple Viewing Options

Videos can be viewed using VGA, S-Video or BNC main monitor outputs using this option. This option enables viewing of the stored video on a large screen or a small screen like that of a pocket PC, depending upon the number of viewers.

• Easy Archiving

The video footages can be quickly offloaded and archived via USB 2.0 or CD-R/W. Easy archiving helps conserve the existing internal memory of the DVR making sure that the system is ever ready for a fresh project.

• Jog Shuttle

The Jog Shuttle allows single-step reviewing of recorded video, making it a quick and easy task.

• Advanced Protection

Advanced protection supports multiple passwords for various levels of user access. This feature does not allow tampering of the system by unauthorized personnel.

• Image Authentication

Recorded video is watermarked and is unalterable.

• Linux-Based OS

This embedded operating system is immune to the common PC-based viruses.

• Alarming

Integrated alarming inputs for external devices including door-locks, sirens, PIR detectors, etc. are featured in these DVRs. This ensures the security of places where surveillance cameras cannot be placed.

• Central Management

The Central Management feature enables you to monitor up to 16 different cameras from 16 DVRs on one screen using the included CMS Software. This helps to have the whole setup in a small area and also provides the total perspective of a scenario at a glance.
