Armor-Pro Hardware DVR
A full featured video surveillance recorder now with H.264 video compression for superior quality recording, smaller file sizes and faster remote video transmission. With video motion detection, remote viewing, PTZ camera control, DVD quality 720x480 recording resolution and DVD/USB backup this DVR is perfect any size home or business.
The Armor-Pro digital video recorder is a completely stand alone surveillance camera recorder that uses a Linux real time operating system (RTOS) so no computer is required to control or manage the system.
The Armor-Pro DVR is designed for one thing and that is to provide high quality, extremely reliable video recording. Simply plug in the unit and hook up any standard VGA computer monitor and you can immediately begin recording up to 240 images/frames per second (FPS) right away.
The huge 500-gigabit hard drive will provide you with weeks of high quality recorded images that are easily accessed by the on-screen menus. With a simple user interface and the uncompromising stability of the Linux operating system, this DVR is built to perform.
Motion Based Recording:
Video based motion detection allows you to only record video when there is movement or action in the picture. You can mask out certain areas of the picture such as trees, roadways or sidewalks so you only record the action that you want.
The system is so sophisticated that it will begin to record 5-seconds prior to sensing any motion and then continue to record for up to 60 seconds after the motion ends. Each camera can be programmed with its own customized recording schedule so you can elect to record 24-7 or only when there are external alarm triggers or video motion based events.
Remote Viewing over the Internet:
Each Armor-Pro DVR has an integrated network interface that supports remote viewing from anywhere in the world. It's as easy as plugging the DVR into your router or network connection and setting up the IP address and port forwarding. Of course, our technical support is available to assist you with the set-up of this popular feature.
The DVR is shipped with a simple to use remote viewing client software package that allows you to connect and control up to 16 DVR's at the same time. That means you could effectively manage up to 256 cameras located in sixteen different areas with a network of Armor-Pro DVR's.
Extremely Simple To Set-up and Operate:
The Armor-Pro standalone DVR runs an embedded Linux operating system for extremely reliable video recording. You can literally set up the DVR and forget about it. There is no need to change hard-drives, re-boot the operating system, run virus scans or update the software. The system will simply and reliably record video so you will have the evidence when you need it.
With a clear and intuitive on screen menu the Armor-Pro DVR is so easy to set up and operate that you can have it up and running within minutes of taking it out of the box. It even includes an infrared remote control to access the menus and programming screens. With a unique addressing structure, you can control up to 16 Armor-Pro DVR's with a single remote control, making it perfect for any size installation.
Higher Quality Images Recorded at Incredible Frame Rates:
H.264 presents a huge step forward in video compression technology. Because the file sizes are much smaller, you can record longer periods at higher quality settings. With standard MPEG-4 video compression, you are forced to choose between extended storage capacity and higher quality recording resolutions. This has a negative impact on the quality of playback as video images can become blurry or less detailed. With H.264 compression, you get higher resolution images at increased frame rates which mean you no longer have to compromise.
Built-In DVD Burner for Back-up:
With the simple to navigate on-screen display you can quickly find motion or alarm based events or you can go right to a specific time and date to review recorded video. What used to take hours can be accomplished in minutes.
Once you find the evidence you need, you can easily back-up or transfer the recorded video to a network drive, onto a DVD with the built-in burner or you can even use a USB Flash Drive by plugging it into the port conveniently located on the front of the DVR.
