Dedicated Micros Launches New Colour-coded Eco4 Digital Video Recorder
Dedicated Micros Launches New Colour-coded Eco4 Digital Video Recorder

Dedicated Micros - part of AD Group - announces the launch of the new model of its popular Eco4 DVR (Digital Video Recorder). The completely redesigned four-channel unit - which is available from this month - is a powerful, yet compact, solution which is built around the company's NetVu Connected technology platform and offers instant access to all of its controls through a colour-coded menu structure and front panel buttons.When deployed the Eco4 has the potential to deliver true global record rates of up to 100 pps (PAL) at CIF resolution. A beneficial operational feature of the entry-level Eco4 DVR is its ability to offer simultaneous live viewing, playback and recording on all models so live monitoring can take place without impacting on what is being recorded.The small size and weight of the new Eco4 DVR at only 203x152x51 mm (8x6x2 inches) and 1.1 kg (2.51 lbs) makes it an ideal choice for applications where space is at a premium, and provides greater flexibility over positioning of the unit during the installation process.In terms of specific users, the new Eco4 is seen as an attractive stand-alone solution for convenience stores and other small applications and, given its NetVu Connected capabilities - and competitive price point, it can also be economically integrated into more extensive surveillance infrastructures where it is wished to extend coverage of a site.As well as the distinctive colour-coded buttons on the Eco4's front panel, which reflect the unit's on-screen menu structure, the DVR has an in-build IR sensor to support a remote control (available separately). It can also be controlled via a USB mouse or keyboard. For ease of use the GUI (Graphical User Interface) has been designed to be context sensitive so it only displays the most appropriate area of the menu to a user, allowing settings to be selected quickly and easily. When it comes to configuration, for consistency and to speed installation, a common configuration interface has been adopted whether the unit is being accessed locally or remotely via a web browser.The new Eco4 follows the trend of Dedicated Micros' latest products to come as standard with informative on-board help videos. These step-by-step videos are designed to assist with both user and configuration features. Key topics covered include: basic live and playback control, telemetry control, alarm configuration, event reviewing and archiving.Being built around the Netu Connected technology core means, in practical terms, that the Eco4 can be operated, seamlessly, with NetVu Connected enabled products from Dedicated Micros and other AD Group companies as part of a single unified viewing solution. As a NetVu Connected DVR the Eco4 also benefits from industry-leading capabilities such as an in-built Transcoding engine which can convert evidential quality recorded JPEG images into an MPEG4 datastream for playback. This is a particularly useful capability when playing back recordings on bandwidth-limited network connections.Turning to storage, the Eco4 is supplied with a 500GB Hard Disk Drive (HDD). It is also available diskless so it can be used with an external USB HDD. For archiving and event copying, event and user defined sequences can be easily saved to external flash memory or hard disk drive via the Eco4's USB port. The new Eco4 has been designed to support a wide range of file formats including: JPEG, MPEG-4 and H.264.Pauline Norstrom, Director of Worldwide Marketing at Dedicated Micros said: "The new Eco4, being NetVu Connected with colour-coded menus and on-board help videos, represents a major uplift in capability compared to its predecessor. We believe that it will prove to be an extremely attractive proposition at the CCTV entry level offering many of the features of larger, more expensive models, in a compact and user friendly package."For more information on the new Eco4, please visit the DM website.

Dedicated Micros Reports Record ASIS Driven By Spotlight On Closed IPTV
Dedicated Micros Reports Record ASIS Driven By Spotlight On Closed IPTV

CCTV specialist Dedicated Micros, Inc. - part of AD Group - announces that the recent ASIS show in Dallas, Texas, was its most successful to date both in terms of visitors and, in particular, the quality of leads it generated, with the number of qualified sales inquires growing by 10%. The star of ASIS from Dedicated Micros' point of view was undoubtedly its Closed IPTV deterministic IP video product solution which was very much the focal point of its booth and, crucially, received a prestigious ASIS Accolades Award. Taking its cue from the simplicity and security of a traditional CCTV installation, Patent-Pending, Closed IPTV uses a completely deterministic set-up which automatically maps the IP camera to the port on DM's Layer 3 Enhanced CCTV Switch and in turn, the corresponding camera input number on the hybrid DVR/NVR. This approach, combined with DM's unique implementation of secure modes means that when it comes to IP video, complete security of the IP endpoints can be achieved with a single click preventing hacking attacks. Dedicated Micros is currently rolling out Closed IPTV in a number of product lines with one of the first being a version of the hybrid SD Advanced DVR/NVR. Said Mike Newton, the newly appointed President of Dedicated Micros, Inc. and founder of Dedicated Micros and its parent company AD Group: "We were delighted with how ASIS 2010 went for us with the level of qualified leads up year-on-year. This was very much a landmark show for the business in a number of respects. We were able to promote our Closed IPTV capability for the first time, which was recognized with a prestigious ASIS Accolades award for its implementation in our SD Advanced, and introduce our customers to the new executive team at Dedicated Micros, Inc. which I am now heading up." "Undoubtedly, Closed IPTV was a big draw and those who saw the on-booth demonstration seemed to be impressed with its ability to enhance the practicality and security of IP video solutions. It is an appealing proposition both to security professionals and end users who may have previously shied away from taking this route and also to experienced integrators looking to deploy segregated HD IP video networks. From the interest generated we anticipate being able to announce significant orders for this solution in the very near future and at a broader level this, upsurge in business, is an important marker that confidence is returning to the wider economy." For more information of Dedicated Micros please log on to www.dedicatedmicros.com.   See the image with captions
