Hybrid embedded DVR

by Mark Rowe

AVer , a provider of HD video-conferencing and CCTV products, has launched the IWH5416+16 hybrid embedded DVR . Aimed at the retail, wholesale and other sectors, the IWH5416+16 offers site monitoring and comes with quad-core CPUs, support for up to 32 IP cameras or up to 16 channels hybrid (IP and Analogue), six SATA HDDs via six removable trays and support for e-SATA, RAID and iSCSI. The product’s in-built Intelligent Video Analysis (IVA) has automated monitoring systems. With motion detection for up to three areas, object detection to identify missing or suspicious objects and scene changes and FaceFinder to keep a visual record of all persons captured by selected cameras, scene recognition is automated to minimise the chance of operators missing details. Event searches can be configured by date, time and various conditions (such as, video loss or motion) from specific cameras. An ‘intelligent’ search can be performed based on motion detected in a set area and pan and tilt tracking offers self-directed vision-guided tracking of a moving object using a single PTZ camera.

The product also includes automated PTZ tracking which starts automatically within configurable tracking boundaries for precise monitoring, with a user immediately able to switch to manual operation. A SMART status alarm prevents HDD failure; camera bandwidth monitoring is for optimum IP camera performance; and a noise reduction filter is to keep playback flicker-free. Event alarms are also customisable and can be triggered for various events, such as when objects in a pre-defined zone exceed a threshold (such as customer flow in a secure area), when objects are removed from certain zones (such as paintings in an art gallery) or when objects are left alone for an extended period of time (such as unattended baggage). Users can be notified when a camera is obstructed or repositioned or when motion is detected in a pre-defined zone, and human faces from live video can be cross-referenced and matched with other existing footage. With support for up to 64 alarm notifications, these can be set to sound when triggered by a single event or a pre-defined combination of events, with E-map pop-ups triggered when alarms occur. A CMS allows larger sites to control up to 1000 digital recorders (DVRs) with a TV-wall command centre of unlimited displays, with control over configuration of remotely connected DVRs and cameras, I/O and PTZ control, two-way audio and remote recording and playback. Users can also receive real-time alarm video/snapshots from remote DVRs, sort and search alarms by priority and assigned alarms to different individuals to increase efficiency.

The IWH5416+16 can be monitored and controlled remotely from Apple and Android devices, laptops and remote terminals.

Nigel Roberts, Marketing Manager of AVer, says: “The IWH5416+16is the result of a desire to produce the most powerful, flexible and feature-rich surveillance DVR on the market. By combining cutting-edge hardware with some of the most advanced monitoring tools around, the IWH5416+16 can facilitate complete coverage of small or large sites and reduce the chance of human error by automating many of the most common checks that would be performed.”

As with all the firm’s products the IWH5416+16 comes as standard with a three year warranty as well as sales support for customers.
