World 1Tb HDD shortage prompts Samsung to launch solution
Chertsey, Surrey (UK)
Samsung has also introduced models which are being supplied without HDDs to give customers the flexibility to purchase additional approved HDDs by way of one of its HDD upgrade kits, which can be easily installed on-site without voiding the warranty of the DVR. These are available as 500Gb upgrades and there are currently limited stocks of 1Tb or 2Tb upgrade kits also available.
The eight and sixteen channel models all have built-in DVD drives featuring virtual progressive scan (VPS) which eliminates the problem of blurred edges on moving objects, to provide picture-perfect still frames whilst a built-in web-server allows live and playback viewing options with the ability to back up incidents via a web browser. A dual codec operation delivers different streams for both high performance recording and optimised transmission, and selected models offer both Pelco Coaxitron and Samsung SSVC coaxial control protocols to provide users with full control of camera functions, as well as access to set-up menus from the convenience of a control room.
Additional installer and operator friendly features include a multiple language on-screen display and a fully removable back panel so that hard drives can be swapped and upgraded without having to unplug all the cables. Data from ATM, POS or access control devices can be captured with the text data saved along with associated images to be played back if required at a later date.
