Ultra DVR is a next generation of PC base DVR system, offering significant advantages. Traditional PC based DVR systems have been developed with Mpeg4 based compression which produces small files that include inherent problems. For example, when moving objects (vehicles, people, etc.) pass in front of a camera, features related to Mpeg4 compression and interlacing can distort an image. Additionally, images can be heavily pixilated during full screen playback which causes distortion. H.264 compression eliminates these drawbacks.

Ultra DVR cards relieve much of the work required from a CPU using Mpeg4 compression because H.264 technology uses hardware, not software to compress images while increasing image quality because hardware compression offers Full D1 704 x 576 resolution (as oppossed to mpeg4 based 640 x 480 with video interlacing). Below is a comparison of images showing the differences in video quality when a moving object appears in front of H.264 Compression.

DVR Advantages

• Up to 120 days of archived events from 16 cameras
• Never having to change any tapes or disks
• Digital time stamp on all recorded events
• Secure, remote, internet access to your security system from home or any other location
• Maintenance free, no need for expensive monitors and multiplexers
• Simultaneous playback and recording
• All video is recorded digitally onto the server's internal hard drives. When those hard drives run out of free space, circular recording will start over again, overwriting the oldest existing video. This means that you always have the last 30 days + of recorded video (on a 30 day DVR system)
• DVR systems are available for 7 day, 14 day, 21 day and 30 day 60day and more recording systems
• Video clips can be saved on CDRs, DVD+R, or USB Flash Drives for permanent storage
• The Snap-Shot manager stores all selected still-frames, i.e. snapshots. Each snapshot can be previewed, saved (in a variety of formats), printed, and, when desired, deleted
• The Event Manager controls which events are listed in the status log
• Optional constant recording or recording by motion event
• DVR sensors pre-record on any motion event to ensure that recording is initiated before an event takes place
• Each camera can be set for motion detection, without additional hardware
• Once DVR detects motion, the system has the ability to trigger any or all cameras
• Each camera can be named and will notify you in the event of a "no-signal" status
• Pan / tilt / zoom cameras can be remote controlled
• DVR gives each camera the fastest frame-rate possible in multiplexing at 1CIF, 2CIF or 4CIF.
• Cameras record in a non-editable format, eliminating the need for water marking
• Recordings can be digitally zoomed in on
• Provides t he ability to search through recordings via a variety of techniques including time/date, VCR or Jog Dial controls, time bar, or by double clicking on an event in the status window, for all 16 cameras, simultaneously
• Playback in full-screen
• Simultaneous access via LAN and telephone lines
• Camera tours are available on all screen views
• Only reliable, high-end hardware is used to operate our DVR systems, enabling these systems to perform continuously, year-after-year
• In the unlikely event the DVR freezes, our watchdog feature will automatically reboot the system
• Motion Detection for each Chanel is recorded and visible on each separate timeline
• System may be 'pass-worded' to stop unauthorized system access
