Relevant Hardware:

IDRS-6000S series DVR card: DVR card is also called “video capture card” which digitalizes video signals and stores or plays them. IDRS-6000S series DVR card adopts H.264 compression format, hardware compressing and full real-time recording, and realizes D1 resolution of recording. DVR cards, according to audio & video input quantity, can be 4 channels, 8 channels or 16 channels; according to compressed resolution, can be CIF or D1. Some card models meanwhile support analog signal output. Multiple cards with different models can be installed in one DVR server together, supporting max 64 channels in a stand alone DVR (considering on computer’s processing capability, no more than 48 channels is recommended).
Video decoder card: video decoder card aims to decode digital signals from DVR or network into analog signals, and then output them to monitor. Decoder card includes 2-channel card and 4-channel card, but allowing multiple cards combining & mixing and max 24 channels in single machine; each output channel supports multi-picture output and cycled switch output, max resolution reaching D1 level.
IDRS-6000S series DVR server: PC-based DVR, just as its name, is based on hardware of PC and on operating systems of Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 7 or Vista suchlike, besides installing DVR card, video decoder card and professional surveillance software, thus integrating into a united system. IDRS series PC-based DVR supports max 48 channels audio & video input and 32 channels alarm input / output. Due to its complete functions, PC-based DVR is the ideal choice for surveillance project.
IDRS-IPCAM1 \ IDRS-IPCAM2 \ IDRS-IPCAM3 IP camera: IP camera is the perfect combination of traditional camera and networking video skill. It can stand alone work (i.e. isolate to PC) at anywhere with Internet connected, not needing PC’s support. Remote user can use IE browser on owned computer to visit IP camera, realizing viewing, recording, voice talking and alarm inputting & outputting suchlike functions. IDRS IP camera allows to be integrated with local analog camera and into a DVR server, thus enable them working within a platform based on network.
IDRS-IPDOME3 outdoor IP high speed dome: an IP high speed dome can be thought as a complex formed by a common high speed dome and a DVS, it directly transmitting picture via network. Remote user can use IE or client software to visit camera easily, finishing viewing, recording, PTZ controlling, voice talking and alarm inputting & outputting. IDRS IP camera allows to be integrated with local analog camera into a DVR server, thus enable them working within a platform based on network.
IDRS-40xA\40xF\40xAHD \IDRS-401D DVS (digital video server): a DVS can be thought as a non-hard-disk stand alone DVR. DVS digitalizes analog signals and transmits them to network, by this way easily realizing remote surveillance. IDRS series DVS and local analog camera integrate into a PC-based DVR server.
AV7600 series alarm box: working with IDRS-6000S series DVR, AV7600 series alarm box provides 8-32 channels alarm input & output; alarm input can be linked with picture, also can be manually controlled.
