Video Domain Technologies, the leading developer of innovative digital CCTV security solutions, has announced the immediate availability of the D-V58-Cell, a covert GPRS-based event-driven digital video recorder. This compact, single channel system uses standard SD memory cards to record up to 384 hours of high quality video. It is suitable for a wide range security, surveillance and video recording applications particularly in remote locations covered by cellular networks.
The D-V58 has been designed to monitor any site that requires rapid deployment at an affordable cost. It connects to any standard analogue CCTV camera and takes a programmable series of digitised still photographs when triggered by an event. Using existing cellular wireless infrastructures, it sends an immediate SMS notification of an alarm event/video loss to any GPRS enabled mobile phone.
Jpeg images can be emailed as attachments for access using any Internet enabled computer or PDA. All images are time and date stamped for integrity and use as evidence. They can be transmitted in a range of resolutions including 320x240 for optimum speed over cellular networks.
Weighing 690g with dimensions of just 153 x 140 x 43mm, this battery-operated recorder is ideal for covert use in locations where no power or physical means of communication are available. In wake mode, recordings are triggered by the built-in motion detection system. The D-V58 also features a sleep mode to conserve power enabling it to run for up to 3 weeks without needing a battery change. In this mode, PIRs, door contacts or pressure sensors trigger recordings. There is also a relay out to switch on a security light or open a door and a 12Volt DC out which can be programmed to power up a covert camera once a trigger has been received.
The SMS and email settings can be changed at any time using a GPRS enabled mobile phone and SMS messages can be sent to the unit requesting images to be transmitted providing confirmation of its operational status at any time. It can also be remotely turned on and off the same way. Uniquely, the unit can be programmed from any computer by loading the settings onto the SD card. When the card is fitted to the DVR, all configuration instructions are automatically uploaded.
A built-in scheduler enables event-driven recordings to start and stop at predetermined times regardless of any linked PIRs or other detectors. Software included with the system has a player function that allows the recorded images to be replayed in sequence at multiple speeds. Individual images can be quickly located by date and time using thumbnails or a detail file list. For archiving or distribution, the memory card contents can be exported to CD.
According to Clive Mason, Managing Director of Video Domain Technologies (UK): “This compact DVR provides users with a cost effective way of achieving high quality covert event-driven recording for flytipping, ASBOs, community policing and a wide range of other mobile applications. It consolidates Video Domain’s reputation as one of the world’s leading developers of innovative security solutions.”
Established in 1997, Video Domain Technologies specialises in the development of digital video security solutions to manage business, home and critical assets for immediate action and post-event analysis. The company has gained an international reputation based on innovation, reliability and customer service with a wide range of Government, commercial and law enforcement agency clients worldwide.
