DVTEL, the US-based CCTV product manufacturer, has introduced a network video recorder (NVR), the Horizon. The firm says the NVR delivers the same reliability and performance as the company’s Latitude Video Management System. It’s aimed at smaller deployments to view, record and playback video and audio.
The makers say that the new family of products allows installer partners to tap into the growing small-to-medium-sized enterprise (SME) segment, and increase revenue by using deployment and maintenance tools that it’s claimed require minimal to no training.
Horizon’s automated configuration, set-up and intuitive operator interface streamlines the deployment and maintenance of modular video surveillance deployments. Larger VMS counts of 100 cameras or more are managed by connecting a number of Horizon NVRs in parallel. Horizon also includes a sign-off report, a feature that delivers a post-installation overview that details the edge devices in use in the system.
The product is available as a basic NVR Server, an NVR RAID Server or an NVR Workstation, each pre-loaded with Horizon video management software. Several Horizon systems can be monitored from a single command centre. The product integrates with a variety of third-party edge devices, and is compatible with DVTEL Quasar cameras and other DVTEL camera families.
Yoav Stern, President and CEO, DVTEL, said: “Our new Horizon NVR line is a high-performance, simple to use scalable appliance with minimal maintenance needs, designed for a variety of vertical markets and applications. This newly developed technology is packaged in a line of NVRs that does not compromise system uptime, quality or high performance, and supplies the same solid dependability that DVTEL’s enterprise-class systems are known for throughout the world.”
The NVR integrated hardware and software technologies include among other features:
Auto discovery of industry-leading IP cameras
Streamlined deployment wizard
Browser-based interface
Event logging and reporting capabilities
Event notification
Support for guard tours
Interactive HTML map support
Integration with access control systems via serial port communication
