Tyco Security Products ( Part of Johnson Controls )

American Dynamics, part of the Security Products business unit of Tyco (NYSE: TYC), has announced significant developments to its current ADTVR Series of embedded video recorders.

Even as the company continues its accelerated development of network video recorders and IP solutions, it recognizes the importance of answering the increasing demand from customers in the vast DVR market.

“As a leading global provider of video solutions, we have a responsibility to listen to the requirements of customers who rely on digital recorders for their analog cameras,” said Steve Carney, director of product management. “Our ADTVR Series of embedded video recorders delivers quality recording for businesses looking to protect their facilities in an intuitive way without sacrificing key video management features.”

The ADTVR Series is offered in two models: a powerful 4-channel model (VS3) and an 8-and 16-channel model (LT2). Both have been re-engineered with a new chassis, motherboard and chipset to provide even faster recording times than previous versions.

Both models boast an intuitive interface, with easy navigation, instant playback, remote client software, advanced dual streaming technology, mapping, and more. Leveraging the powerful Point of Sale (PoS) text integration, retailers can connect up to four PoS devices to record, playback, and view video, ultimately helping them minimize internal theft and provide cost-savings for their business.

For powerful video management on the go, the ADTVR mobile app provides access to live camera views across multiple ADTVR recorders. Control PTZ cameras, bookmark popular 2x2 multi-camera layouts, save image snapshots and send email alerts on alarm with optional JPEG snapshots to any email-enabled mobile device.

“The enhancements to the hardware and robust feature set really make this a powerful, cost-effective solution for businesses who take security seriously,” Carney stated. “The ADTVR recorders truly give customers more for their money.”

The ADTVR series of embedded DVRs is available through American Dynamics’ worldwide distribution channels.
