DVM425 - Mini Mobile DVR

Mini, Stand-Alone - 4 Channel Mobile / Universal DVR 
( prod.ref:  VZ-DVM425)

Despite it’s ultra compact dimensions and modest price tag, this versatile, feature packed 4 Channel DVR is a truly professional unit in every sense of the word.

It provides a practical, simple and affordable solution, for a wide range of CCTV recording applications and requirements. 

• the 'in-caddy' vibration reduction mechanism (designed to withstand 2G), makes the unit suitable for many mobile type DVR applications in a wide range of environments, whilst slipping the unit into the optional external anti vibration sleeve makes it suitable for use in even harsher environments

• whilst its low power consumption makes it a practical solution for 'battery powered' covert use. 

• and this versatile unit can of course also be used as a stand alone DVR for domestic or commercial premises and applications.

Simplicity and operational convenience - were among the key design criteria specified for this exciting new unit. So while you can be sure of high quality performance and reliable operation, you won’t need to be a technical genius to set the unit up or use it effectively. 

Features and functions – designed specifically for stand-alone operation, this amazingly versatile, feature and function packed unit, incorporates all the standard functions you would expect from a professional DVR, along with some exciting and innovative features, not  generally found on other units. 

Camera connections - the DVR supports up to 4 directly connected cameras (with audio recording capability on channel 1). It supports most types of CCTV camera via industry standard connections (remote control of PTZ cameras is supported via popular protocols such as PELCO P and D)   

Recording options- images are recorded onto a 2.5inch PC hard disk drive, housed in a hot swappable drive caddy. For most applications, the continuous recording option will be the natural choice, however the DVR also supports up to 4 alarm inputs, so if preferred, it can be set to record on an event or alarm trigger. The unit can be set up to record all connected cameras in real time quad mode (four cameras to a view), or to record images from all cameras separately but concurrently.

The overall recording frame per second (fps) rate for the unit is 25fps for PAL (30fps NTSC). The recording capacity will depend on various factors including; the hard drive size, the recording quality and frame rate selected, etc. As a general guide however, based on ‘normal’ quality recording and a ‘3 fps per camera’ frame rate, a 120gb hard drive offers around one week’s continuous and independent recording for all connected cameras. 

Enabling the ‘hard drive overwrite’ feature in the simple set-up menu will allow the unit to record continuously even when the hard drive is full (oldest recorded images continuously being replaced by the current live images) – so the only time the unit will require any operator attention is when an incident has occurred. 

Viewing images or downloading them for archive purposes – couldn’t be simpler. The audio / video output connections on the rear of the unit can be connected to a monitor (or even a TV) for live viewing, or to an external VCR / DVD or CD recorder, for archive recordings. 

Images can also be quickly and easily downloaded to a PC for archiving or viewing, via the optional USB Dock unit. Simply unlock and remove the hard drive caddy from the DVR, plug it in to the USB Dock and using the supplied USB cable, connect the USB Dock to a USB socket on any PC running the supplied ‘remote view’ software. 

Security – a mechanical key-lock prevents unauthorised removal of the hard disk drive caddy from the DVR, whilst password security prevents unauthorised tampering with set-up settings and operation of the unit. 

Operating convenience – the convenient remote controller handset provides full function control of; unit set-up / menu functions, camera views (including remote telemetry control of pan, tilt, zoom camera operation where applicable), zoom viewing, image recording, image retrieval, etc. 

Power requirements - operating from 12–30 VDC, the DVR can be connected directly to a vehicle (or stand alone) battery, or it can be run from a mains electricity supply via a suitable AC/DC transformer. Unlike power hungry alternative units, which often draw up to 5amps or so when operating, this unit typically draws less than 2amps, so there’s an appreciable saving on battery drain when used for covert or mobile applications and of course, a cost saving when operating from a mains electricity supply.
