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:
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.
Details: High speed Pentium™ 4 processor,
256MB RAM, 120GB or 250GB 7200rpm hard disk, DVD-RW/CD-RW drive, 10/100 LAN
adapter, keyboard, mouse and H Series video capture board(s).
The DVR is contained in a rugged, small foot print case. Windows™
XP is provided as the operating system; Sentry H Series and system
restore software are included.
Recording Time:
The 120GB(H240/08) or 250GB(H240/16) hard drive will typically
hold about 2 weeks of recordings, when using motion detection
recording, HM (MPEG4 like) compression and 320x240 resolution.

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. |

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. |
 |
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. |
 |
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. |
 |
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. |
 |
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. |
 |
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. |
 |
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. |
 |
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. |
