Coaxial Control Equipped Additions To Hanwha Techwin America H.264 SRD Series Of DVRs

Samsung has added four new models to its SRD series of H.264 DVRs which are equipped with both Pelco Coaxitron and Samsung SSVC coaxial control protocols to provide users with full control of camera functions, as well as access to set-up menus via a digital video recorder, from the convenience of a control room.

Coaxial control offers convenience as well as cost savings, allowing both video and telemetry control to be transmitted via conventional analog coaxial cabling. As well as a reduction in cabling costs, there is also the opportunity for existing equipment to be upgraded quickly and easily.

The SRD-850DC and SRD-1650DC are eight and sixteen channel DVRs which can simultaneously record real-time CIF images across all channels and selectable channels up to 4CIF, whilst the SRD-870DC and the SRD-1670DC can simultaneously record real-time images across all channels at 4CIF.

As a result of the introduction of these four new models, there are now twenty network friendly DVRs in the SRD series, all of which capitalize on Samsung's high level H.264 compression to ensure superb picture quality, whilst minimizing hard drive space and bandwidth requirements.

The SRD series provides customers with the choice of four-, eight- and sixteen-channel DVRs which are available with or without built-in DVD drives. All twenty models feature Virtual Progressive Scan (VPS) which eliminates the problem of blurred edges on moving objects to provide picture-perfect still frames and selected models come complete with an HDMI output able to upscale images to 1080P.

Additional installer and operator friendly features include a fully removable back panel so that hard drives can be swapped and upgraded without having to unplug all the cables and a multiple language on screen display. Data from ATM, POS or access control devices can be captured with the text data saved along with associated images to be played back if required at a later date.

Dual codec operation delivers different streams for both high performance recording and optimized transmission, whilst a built-in web-server allows live and playback viewing options with the ability to back up incidents via a web browser. For advanced network operation, SRD series DVRs are all fully compatibility with Samsung's Centralised Management Software (CMS) which provides enhanced functionality as part of a complete integrated security system. They also share the same intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) menu structure to make it easy for operators, for example, to set up each channel to record at different frames rates or resolutions.

Available from all Samsung distributors, the SRD series of DVRs is offered with full support services from Samsung Techwin Europe Ltd, including free system design, free technical support and a full three-year warranty.
