Sentry LE Series Embedded Digital Video Recorder Surveillance Equipment

PTZ Camera Support: Various models of PTZ cameras can be controlled through the software, both locally and remotely, using an add-on adapter. Use the Sentry PT23DN-OD-OT if you need a solution that will track moving objects and send alarm signals with or without human interaction.

Point of Sale (POS): The LE Data Capture can record and display transaction data from your POS System. The data from each transaction is directly overlaid onto the video and a searchable database is created allowing you to pinpoint video with abnormal transactions. The LE Data Capture is an excellent add-on to any LE or LE-HC Series video security system. Click here for more information on POS integration.

High Compression Ratio with High Video Quality: Video is compressed for recording by MPEG4, H.263 or MJPEG compression. H.263 is proprietary compression technology, designed specifically for CCTV applications. It provides high video quality and yet saves a great deal of disk space through superior compression. H.263 compressed frame sizes are typically about 2KB – about half the size of MPEG4 compressed frames and video quality of H.263 compressed frames is excellent.

Video Speeds: Live video on all cameras is always “realtime” – 30 frames per second (fps) per camera. Recording speeds vary by compression method chosen, from a total 72fps using H.263 compression to a total 120fps using MJPEG compression.

Excellent Image Quality: LE Series DVRs provide excellent image display and recording quality through proprietary drivers and compression codecs. Video can be displayed and recorded at 320x240 or a true 640x480 non-interlaced resolution which eliminates the 'ghost effect' in motion video seen with many other systems at 640x480.

Multiple Recording Methods: Video can be recorded continuously at maximum speed, On Motion, On Alarm or by schedule.

Advanced Motion Detection: Multiple areas within each camera field of view can be specified for motion detection (or the whole field of view can be used). A number of pre-alarm frames can be set by camera so that when motion is detected or an alarm input is received, the particular camera or cameras will record the set number of frames prior to the alarm, as well as from the point the alarm condition was generated.

Recording Playback: Recording log files can be searched by date and time. Recordings can be played back in single camera, quad, 9 or 16 camera displays. Speed up to 2X or slow down to 1/8 speed. Increment backwards and forwards by one frame. Snapshots of individual frames can easily be made for export.

Security and Stability: ID and password protection are provided so that some people can simply use the system but cannot make any changes, while others can be allowed to make appropriate adjustments. The cameras that can be viewed can be controlled by password. Because no software is contained on the hard disk, software corruption or tampering is totally avoided. Viruses from Internet connections cannot be written to the system.

Powerful Remote Control: The LE Series DVRs use a standard Internet browser for remote connection, with User ID and Password protection. Multiple remote users can simultaneously monitor the same DVR site through the Internet or LAN connection. Up to 16 remote cameras can be viewed, remote control of PTZ security cameras is supported and remote configuration of all DVR sites is possible, under password protection. Remote Record Player replays video recordings from remote DVRs.

Complete Integration: Through an RS485/RS232 converter, PTZ cameras can be locally and remotely controlled for panning, tilting, and zooming. Via an I/O box, the DVR can receive signals from traditional sensor devices to start recording. Motion based recording can be used to trigger external devices such as lights, switchers, gates, and other traditional alarm devices.

Event Notifications: LE Series DVRs instantly send out notifications when there is an abnormal situation or intrusion. There are several ways to notify an event: 1. Send a text message to an e-mail address. 2. Trigger traditional alarm devices connected through optional I/O device.

Video Export: Exporting the video as 'evidence' is simple and easy. The “Back-up to CD” selection is made locally from the set-up options. Follow the prompts for camera and date and time. Insert a blank CD in the CD-R/W drive and click “Back-up”. The desired video is written to the CD along with the necessary player for Windows based PCs.

Audio Recording(Optional): One channel audio recording is provided and can be synched to any camera. Audio can be heard live both locally and remotely and played back along with associated video both locally and remotely. Because of the legalities involved, it is advisable to check with the local authorities before undertaking audio recordings.

File Recovery on System Power Loss: An automatic file rebuild occurs after any unexpected power loss or software shutdown, limiting video loss to a very small amount.
