UK DVR range

by Mark Rowe

The Inspire Blue range of DVRs, pictured, comes from COP Security. The DVRs have been developed by the distributor in the UK, from initial concept to the design of the case and method of operation. One of the key aspects the company worked on was the operating system, to ensure the Blue range is built for real applications, with the features and performance UK installers demand. The Inspire Blue range has been designed to provide no unnecessary demand on the installer or operator.

Not only are the DVRs designed in the UK but the entire range is manufactured in-house at the company’s UK facility. Manufacturing in the UK allows the quality to be closely controlled, the firm reports. Key components, such as the specialised Western Digital AV hard drives, are purchased direct from UK suppliers. All recorders are soak-tested for at least one week, with hard drives, before dispatch.

The four, eight and 16 channel DVRs come in standard or plus models. They are described as an out-of-box solution for applications ranging from small domestic systems to large commercial sites. H.264 compression is for storage; play-back options include CIF, 2CIF or D1 resolutions and the recording rate is up to 400 frames per second. On-board storage can be up to 6TB and a USB port allows for external backup options.

The Plus model also includes a DVD-RW, three independent, fully programmable, monitor outputs, HDMI connection and two-way audio on all channels to listen into a site and send back audible warnings or instructions.

Mark Ogden, technical support manager at COP Security says: “Great care has been taken to ensure the operating system is easy to use. Features include motion detection, scheduling, alarm inputs and relay outputs and full connectivity to smartphones for real time viewing. If an alarm is triggered, an event snapshot can be emailed to the operator and the alarmed video channel switched to full-screen mode. The Blue range has full, network operation and includes a Windows-based, free, Central Management Software. This enables multiple sites to be monitored simultaneously from a remote PC. Operators can also switch lights on and off, open gates and trigger external alarms remotely.”

All COP Security products come with the Advantage Plus service which includes 99.9 per cent stock availability, a three year warranty and one year advance replacement and a 30 day money back guarantee. Technical support covers free, remote DVR set up of on-site routers and remote Smartphone viewing.
