Because of its rich feature set, the 4, 8 and 16 Channel DVRs are suitable for the majority of CCTV applications, allowing standardisation for sales teams and engineers. Recording of images per second and image quality is adjustable on a per camera basis via schedule, VMD audio and alarm activations. Set-up and operation is controlled via a standard mouse, making it simple and intuitive which means little training is required.

The speed and quality of the recorded images make them ideal for evidential purposes, while the simple search and download facility to DVD, CD or USB makes handling and transferring the images quick and easy. Each video input has an audio input to record an audio track per camera making the units ideal for interview room situations. Video recording can also be initiated via the audio input.

"This new range has consistent features across all of the models, giving the same operation across different sized systems," says Mark Pritchard, Vista divisional director. "It's a very flexible range in terms of the number of functions it can perform and is ideal for a wide range of diverse applications."
