DVR Guide - VXM4B
The Concept Pro VXM4B DVR is a highly specified CCTV
recorder available in 4. 8 and 16 channels.
The design criteria was to produce a DVR which included all
the functions users of alternative models have requested.
Many of the features like 2-way audio are only found on much
more expensive DVRs.
Key Features
Programming the VXM4
Simple Graphical User Interface
Programming the VXM4 is simple thanks to the intuitive Graphical User Interface
(GUI). The menus and setup steps are presented in a logical manner allowing
detailed configurations to be set up with ease.
USB Stick
When the setup is completed the configuration can be saved to a local USB memory
stick and transferred to other VXM4 units. The installer can keep a record of
the configuration allowing a quick setup of a similar unit or to restore a
customer's system to the preferred settings.
Remote Programming
Virtually all VXM4 parameters can be programmed, saved and uploaded over a
LAN/WAN connection.
Recording Setup
As a basic setting the VXM4 can be set to record manually, by timer, alarm or
motion detection.
Full flexibility of the recording parameters allows the system to be tailored to
your exact requirements.
Each individual channel can be configured on a weekly, daily and hourly basis to
record either by schedule, alarm input or motion detection.
In addition, each channel can be configured on a weekly, daily and hourly basis
for image resolution, frame rate, audio recording and image quality.
A typical example might be a VXM4 configured to record continuously at lower
frame rates during the day and then at higher frame rates on motion detection
during the night. Hence, saving hard drive storage space.
In an emergency, the panic button or external panic input will override all
other recording settings with specific panic recording settings. This means you
will always achieve the best quality recording at the time of an incident.
Typical recording times are shown below. The VXM4 is supplied with a storage
calculator, allowing you to vary the recording settings to achieve the required
recording times.
The VXM4 series DVR offers high resolution recording at the following levels:
SIF 352 x 288
2SIF 704 x 288
D1 704 x 576
Each channel can be independently set. For example if channel 1 a d 2 are
looking at the front and rear entrances of a building you could set these to
record at D1 resolution. Channel 3 and 4 may be simply be watching the reception
area so recording at SIF resolution is adequate and will save disk space.
System Checks
Hard Drive Monitoring
The VXM4 uses SMART technology to check the status of the hard drives. Each hard
drive constantly monitors its own operating parameters - if abnormalities are
detected the VXM4 will indicate an alarm. It can be programmed to send an alarm
email notification.
Watchdog Function
The firmware is monitored every 5 seconds. Any abnormalities are reported or in
extreme circumstances the watchdog system will automatically reboot the system
in an attempt to clear errors.
If a power cut happens on site, the watchdog ensures the DVR restarts cleanly
and continues recording once power has been restored. All without user
intervention.
Remote Connection
An essential part of modern DVRs is the ability for the images to be viewed
across a Local Area Network or the Internet. The VXM4 series excels in this area
with the addition of functional set-up from a remote location.
The software included to connect a VXM4 over a LAN/Internet provides access to
virtually all functions available from the front panel of the VXM4, such as live
viewing and playback, archiving of live or historic footage an VXM4
configuration.
With additional features such as multiple VXM4 connections, two way audio
transmission and the ability to remotely trigger VXM4 outputs, the remote client
software can easily be configured to form the basis of a remote monitoring
station.
The VXM4 settings can be uploaded to a local PC file and can then be used to
configure additional VXM4 units allowing rapid deployment of multiple VXM4s in
the field.
