Hikvision Digital Technology announced the release of their brand new HD-SDI DVR series. The series is comprised of the DS-7204/08HFHI-ST 720p DVR and the DS-7204/08HFHI-SE 1080p DVR series; both series offer zero-latency transmission and real-time HD recording through the utilization of HD-SDI technology.
The series includes four and eight channel DVRs that deliver simultaneous real-time recording and playback in 4CIF resolution on all four or eight channels. There is also the option for 720P or 1080P resolution. Available with a range of storage capacities, the recorders offer H.264 compression.
The series is easy to set up and use with features such as email-on-event and overwrite protection. Also included is Smart Search, which automatically looks for changes within a selected portion of a scene. This series offers flexible alarm handling, camera control, and remote management capabilities. Remote monitoring enables customers to manage the DVR series from any location via a LAN, WAN, or the Internet. Customers can also view live video using their smart phones for even greater flexibility. Audio can be recorded on all four/eight channels and the SATA HDDs (up to 4TB apiece) allow USB devices for archiving purposes. HDD quota management is additionally supported to optimize the capacity assignment to different channels and minimize video storage requirements.
Offered in a competitive price range, these DVRs are specifically aimed towards catering to the needs of smaller-scale applications that value HD video, multi-channel real-time recording and playback, and a friendly user interface. The retail sector, convenience stores, and offices are but a few examples of these environments.
