It has a somewhat daunting moniker but is a powerful, customizable and incredibly versatile business-grade security system. The EZKIT4/4-BU from EZWatch Pro is a four-channel surveillance kit that joins forces with your own PC to create an incredibly potent digital video recorder.

With two high-resolution indoor/outdoor, infrared (IR) night-vision bullet cameras, plus a pair of similarly "high-res" indoor dome cameras, this four-camera kit has everything you need for a state-of-the-art surveillance system. With a VGA-standard resolution of 640 x 480 pixels, the system provides excellent detail while offering tremendous operational flexibility.

Our kit, your computer


When all four of the provided security cameras are connected to the system, and your PC is running the proprietary EZWatch Pro Business Grade Software, you can view and record up 7.5 frames per second (FPS). Additionally, the EZKIT4/4-BU enables a full channel of audio recording when a microphone (yours or ours, available separately) is connected to the audio input.

The two powerful indoor/outdoor, night-vision security cameras included with the kit provide bright, clear color capture during the day, and instant-switch night-vision video in complete darkness. You also get the simple but highly capable A/V interface for your PC, which allows the connection of the four cameras and, as stated above, a microphone for audio recording. All the bases are covered with this one simple kit.

Remote views, expandable power

The EZWatch Pro system enables you to remotely view both live and recorded video from a broadband Internet connection or a 3G (third generation) cellular phone. The built-in web server capability lets you can connect from any system with the industry standard web browser, Internet Explorer, eliminating the need for additional software to remotely access your surveillance system. The EZWatch Pro Business Grade Software also allows multiple simultaneous connections, allowing you to monitor a number of different surveillance sites, at the same time, from the same location.

The EZKIT4/4-BU system is also easy to expand, as you can add up to another three DVR cards to your PC at any time. This means you can upgrade your surveillance system by four more cameras at a time, for up to 16 security cameras in all. There is exactly "zero" additional software required for these upgrades, since it is merely a matter of installing the extra DVR card(s) in your PC and rebooting. It is a similarly straightforward matter to add pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera control hardware and PTZ cameras to an existing EZKIT4/4-BU surveillance system.

Operations, options and modes

Our EZWatch Pro software works with your PC to provide a wide range of alarms, notifications, recording modes and operational schedules. Motion-detected recording is simple to set up and control, and you can adjust the sensitivity levels for each separate camera. You can even identify specific locations that you want the system to ignore on its "virtual rounds." You can also create customized schedules for capturing a combination of motion-detected recording and continuous recording, for certain periods of the day or night, or both.

The amazing EZWatch Pro "smart guard" technology allows you set up a variety of "triggers" for a variety of camera operations and communications protocols. If an existing, defined object goes missing, a foreign object is detected or a signal is lost, you will know about it. You will also be informed if any security camera view is blocked or any security camera goes out of focus. When these situations are detected, the system can respond however you choose - with an alarm, an email alert, a telephone call, redirection of an optional PTZ camera to the affected location or the triggering of an external relay.

Bottom line is value and power

The combination of top technology, quality components and customized software makes for a powerful surveillance system at a modest price. By leveraging your own technology investment, your PC, you can quickly and simply add the capabilities you need to protect property, lives and the future of your family and your business. EZWatch Pro has developed true "plug and play" systems that go far beyond the usual all the way to the extraordinary, in terms of both value and power.

A new catchphrase that better describes what you can expect of your EZKIT4/4-BU system is "plug and work." Plug it in, and it works - period.
