The models have been integrated with a colour-coded panel interface. The adoption of front panel control, alongside a series of on-board help videos, was designed to aid usability of the products – which have been targeted at medium-sized applications.
The cash offer is valid for each new 8 and 16 channel model (with front panel control) purchased by UK installers from 1 August to 30 September this year.
The SD Range has been designed to offer ‘out of the box’ recording duration and smooth motion video on all cameras through pre-configured default settings, Dedicated Micros said. Menus on the DVRs have been built to allow any channel configuration to use full global PPS. It has advanced capabilities like MultiMode Recording which means it can switch the resolution, record rate and compression – mpeg4 and jpeg, per camera.
Dedicated Micros said: “The SD is also a powerful transmission product suitable for remotely monitored applications when combined with NetVu ObserVer and Event Distribution Point alarm receiving software. Turning to the SD Range’s colour coded-soft key user interface, for added flexibility, all the functions of the DVR can now be accessed locally through the new front panel, the supplied IR remote control – and an optional – USB keyboard. It is possible, if required, to configure the SD Range remotely via web pages which, for ease of operation, mirror the layout of the local interface.”
The 8 and 16 channel models of the SD Range can be supplied with up to 1TB of capacity. The range also comes with a built-in CD-R writer and USB ports for downloading archived video to external flash memory
Pauline Norstrom, director of worldwide marketing at Dedicated Micros, said: “Since its launch the SD Range’s consistent recording functionality and intuitive colour-coded soft key menu system, typically accessed via an IR remote control, have proven to be extremely popular features with users.
“When it comes to control, we recognise that some customers still prefer the physical reassurance of front panel buttons on the DVR itself and this has been taken on board with the design and roll-out of the all new 8 and 16 channel SD Range models. The provision of embedded help videos reflects our commitment to ensure that installers and end users are able to maximise the benefits of our CCTV systems.”
