    Today’s digital video recording systems are more and more being required to provide extra fast recording speeds, up to and including full motion video (real time video) on all cameras. We have responded to this market need with a 240fps DVR systems.

    Three models of Sentry H Series High Speed DVRs are offered ranging from 8 camera 240fps security systems to 16 camera 480fps security systems. All Sentry H Series DVRs have the same software and have the same excellent remote communication capabilities. The two models of DVRs are:

    Model  
    Sentry H240/08 8 camera 240fps system
    Sentry H240/16 16 camera 240fps system

    All Sentry High Speed DVRs have a partitioned hard drive with software loaded in a small partition. The balance of the disk is used for recording. A bootable recovery disk is made of the software partition and supplied with all security systems. The recovery CD can be used to re-install the total software environment, if necessary, without affecting any recorded video.

    System restore software is included for software recovery. Original CDs and manuals of included software are provided.

    All systems are warranted for 1 year for parts and labor and 1 years' toll free telephone support is provided.

    Key Features

    bullet Point-of-Sale (POS) Integration
    Third-party electronic POS systems may now be integrated into H series DVRs via the AVE VSI - an external device that transmits POS transaction data to the DVR. Click here for more information on POS integration.
    bullet Excellent Image Quality
    H Series boards and software provide excellent image display and recording quality through proprietary drivers and compression codec. Video can be displayed and recorded at 320x240, non-interlaced resolution which eliminates the 'ghost effect' in motion video seen with many other systems at 320x240.
    bullet Multiple Camera Resolutions on same Screen
    Some security cameras can be displayed at different video resolutions on the same screen, allowing optimal video display and recording, yet minimizing recording file size.
    bullet High Compression Ratio with High Video Quality
    Video is compressed for recording by MJPEG or HM (MPEG4-like) compression: HM is proprietary compression technology, designed specifically for CCTV applications. It provides high video quality and yet saves a great deal of disk space through superior compression. CPU acceleration instructions also help the system gain real-time performance.
    bullet Multiple Recording Methods
    Video can be recorded continuously at maximum speed, continuously with Smart Saving, On Motion, On Alarm, by time-lapse or by schedule. Different cameras can have recording methods set independently.
    bullet Multi-Drive Concurrent Recording
    Different security cameras can be specified to record into different logical or physical drives, so that some camera recordings can be kept for longer periods than others. This is particularly useful where some camera recordings may be more critical than others.
    bullet Smart Saving during Recording
    The recording frame rate varies according to the amount of movement. Low frame rates are used for more static video and higher frame rates for full motion video. The more motion detected, the faster the recording fame rate.
    bullet Advanced Motion Detection and Tracking
    Moving targets are automatically detected and tracked by a tracking block. The H Series is sensitive to moving targets in bad lighting environments, and not sensitive to camera shake and the auto-panning of PTZ security cameras.
    bullet Noise Tolerance Feature
    A motion detection noise tolerance feature reduces false alarms and unwanted recordings caused by weather changes (rain, wind, lightening etc.), and light changes. The sensitivity of noise tolerance can be adjusted for each camera.
    Security and Stability
    Four levels of ID and password protection are provided and an audit log of “log on and off” sessions, configuration changes and more is kept. The SmartFile management feature prevents disk fragmentation and increases system stability. Video recordings are saved in a database, optimizing storage utilization. What's more, H Series DVRs have a hardware watchdog that restarts the system automatically in case of system errors.
    Powerful Remote Control
    The H Series DVRs use a client/server architecture. Multiple clients can simultaneously monitor/control the same DVR site through the Internet, LAN or direct dial-up connection. Remote Viewer allows monitoring/recording of up to 16 remote cameras, remote control of PTZ security cameras, and remote configuration of multiple DVR sites. Remote Record Player downloads and replays video recordings from remote DVRs. Up to 16 cameras from different DVRs can be viewed at one remote site.
    Recording Playback
    Search recording log files by date, time, single camera or all security cameras. Also search by recording type – motion detection, smart saving, alarm input or time lapse. Play back in quad, 9 or 16 camera displays and switch to single camera full screen (and back again) with a mouse click. Speed up to 16X or slow down to 1/8 speed. Increment backwards and forwards by one frame.
    Complete Integration
    CCTV devices can be integrated into the H Series. Through an RS485/RS232 converter, PTZ cameras can be remote controlled for panning, tilting, and zooming. Via I/O ports or an I/O box (depending on board model), the capture board can receive signals from traditional sensor devices to start recording. Motion based recording can be used to trigger external devices such as lights, switchers, gates, and other traditional alarm devices.
    Event Notifications
    H Series DVRs instantly send out notifications when there is an abnormal situation or intrusion. There are many ways to notify an event:
    1. Send a voice message to a desk phone or a cell phone through optional modem.
    2. Send a text message to a fax or an e-mail address through optional modem.
    3. Sound an event alarm.
    4. Flash an event message on the split screen.
    5. Display the event camera in full screen.
    6. Trigger traditional alarm devices.
    7. Send event reports daily, weekly or monthly by email.
    Video Export
    Exporting the video as 'evidence' is simple and easy. A single mouse click snaps the current video frame and saves it to an image file for print out with location, date and time information. Another mouse click records the video to an AVI or self-executable file. The self-executable file is embedded with watermarking and password protection. The self-executable files created can be viewed on Windows™ 98, ME, 2000, and XP systems without any special player required.
    File Recovery on System Power Loss
    An automatic file rebuild occurs after any unexpected power loss or software shutdown, limiting video loss to less than 3 seconds.
