Thanks to its H.264 Baseline Compression (geek-speak for small file size, high quality video) and large hard drive, it provides excellent capacity (over 16000 hours when using conservative quality settings). It offers blazing 100 frames-per-second (FPS) recording with up to 25 FPS per camera meaning you get true TV quality, not a slideshow seen on most CCTV footage. All of this plus 1 channel audio, making this unit a professional but cost-effective solution not just for public venues like nightclubs, but home installs too.

This DVR is easy to set-up through a standard TV, HDTV or computer monitor via the VGA output. A secondary display can also be set-up via the secondary "Call Out" output. In addition, each live feed from each camera can use up to 4X digital zoom to achieve close-ups.

Live feeds as well as previously recorded footage from cameras can all be displayed at once with each camera feed taking up a quarter of the screen or full screen. The system can also cycle through each camera while in full screen mode displaying each one for a number of seconds so no thief goes unnoticed!

This product has advanced networking support which allows the DVR to be accessed across the internet from any computer across the world or mobile/PDA equipped with WAP/3G. Accessing the DVR remotely is simple and intuitive. It provides you with a live feed of the cameras, full control over Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) cams, alarm info, footage playback and more just like having the system in front of you. Additionally all footage can be downloaded over the internet to a PC.

A comprehensive logging system is used to time and date-stamp all events and footage, making searching for video evidence straight-forward. Footage can be backed up directly to a USB Stick, USB Hard Drive or burned directly to a DVD with a USB DVD Drive. Footage can then be converted on a PC with the easy-to-use video converter software provided with the unit into the popular AVI movie format.

The system can also be set-up to send an e-mail to a specified list of addresses when certain events happen (e.g. video is lost on one of the cameras or the system detects motion and starts recording).

The unit can also be programmed to record far more intelligently to conserve hard drive space. For example, it can be programmed to record only at certain times on a weekly schedule. This is accomplished with the use of a straight-forward interface with each day in the week having 16 time slots that can be marked as a time that the system should record. The DVR can also be programmed to only record when it detects motion on one of the cameras. This can be tweaked with the use of the "Zoning" feature where the camera's view is split into a grid and each section can then marked as a motion sensitive zone (useful to stop the camera recording unnecessarily e.g.: when a tree blows in the wind or a car drives past). The sensor triggered mode is very versatile as a broad variety of triggers can be used to start a recording. For example, it can be wired into existing systems such as the detectors in a burglar house alarm to only record when it is set-off.

All of the event triggered recording modes can use something called "Pre and Post Record". This is where the DVR continuously records the last few seconds elapsed from each camera like a buffer. When an event is triggered (e.g. video is lost on a camera) the previous few seconds are automatically added to the start of the recording so you can get a good look at who has played havoc with your CCTV cameras or set off an alarm for example. When a recording then ends the next few seconds are also added to the end of the recoding.
