The Alpha all in one series of surveillance system from Swann is a complete package which includes an LCD video monitor and a 4 channel DVR. The large high resolution video monitor is perfect for observing finer details during active surveillance. It also features the split screen viewing, which enables the user to simultaneously monitor all the four cameras without any hassles. The DVR features intuitive menus and pentaplex operation which enable you to simultaneously view, record, playback, backup and set the remote system configuration; making it simpler to monitor the surveillance zones.

The video footages can be recorded in both NTSC and PAL formats with a resolution of 720 x 480 in NTSC and 720 x 576 in PAL, depending on the requirement. The high resolution is augmented with high recording speeds, which ranges up to 120 fps. This makes for easy identification of finer details like the license plate of a fast moving automobile.

With the ability to capture events up to 50' from the camera during the night the camera stands as effective in the night, as during the day. The cameras have a unique weather resistant design and hence are ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.
