Proprietary SMICT (Super Motion Image Compression

Technology) with 1400:1 video compression provides for

the smallest compressed file sizes for high resolution

image reproduction, and thus providing the user with

"all-hard disk" recording featuring the longest recording

times and smallest bandwidth with best frame rates,

allowing for remote connectivity over LAN and even

PSTN when compared to other technologies using MPEG,

JPEG, Wavelet, H.242/243 etc.

A recorder may be used as a stand-alone system, or be
connected to a network to cover the installation of
hundreds of cameras, allowing up to 32 users to
simultaneously view both live and previously recorded
video over a LAN or WAN from either multiple software
equipped operator review stations running Digital VDO

software, or the recorders themselves looking down at
other recorders, and in most cases without the use of a
dedicated server.

All hard disk recording that may record video for months
onto reliable lkegami Genius designed hard disk arrays.
Unlike other systems, no tapes need to be managed or
maintained weekly as with other systems using AIT/DAT
or-DIV tape storage mediums and combination
mechanically driven tape jukeboxes.

No degradation over time of recorded data as well as
immediate access to pre-recorded video without human
intervention.

Password protected, multi-level: Supervisor,
Administrator, Operator, Remote User. Built-in Video.

Authentication for court admissibility purposes.

Unparalleled zoom video enhancement capabilities.

Easy to use "make a clip", "take a snapshot" operator
review mode.

May control PTZ devices either locally or remotely via
built-in RS-232 port as well as connect up to 32, 8 Input /
Output I/O modules providing a total of 256 alarm and
control relay points.

Built-in 16xRW-CD for archiving of close to a days' video
from 16 cameras at 2.5fps.

Built-in Glide-point mouse for system set-up and local
system operation.

NTSC, PAL compatible.

Variable frame rates per 4 inputs per video card.

Features "field upgradeable" addition of 2 extra
removable hard drives for added storage capability.
*Need to change wire configuration.

Built-in USB port for connection to storage devices.

Built-in Video Motion detector for alarm marking,
increasing recorded frame rate, as well as remote signal of
alarm conditions.

May send alarm messages to a cell phone or other dial up
device using pre-recorded voice prompts.

Features 1 channel of audio recording, audible hi-temp
and fan fail alarm.

Front mounted, accessible, washable air filter.

The system may be used as a stand-alone recording device
with a VGA monitor and keyboard connected to the
recorder, or, be connected to either a 10 Base T or 100
Base T Network, allowing up to 32 remote operator
review stations to simultaneously communicate with a
recorder, offering both live view, playback as well as
remote file transfer. In addition to this feature and unlike
other systems, the Digital VDO recorder itself may be set
up as a client, to view video from other remotely or LAN

■ Features

connected Digital VDO recorders without the required
use of a dedicated server or dedicated review station/PC
as with other competitive technologies.

The system with all 4, 4-channel Video capture cards
installed, and all 16 cameras connected to the system will
record Video from these 16 cameras at between 2.5 and 3
fps at 220 Horizontal TV lines at 320 x 240 tile size format
onto a single factory installed 75 GB drive for between 30
and 60 days, more if there is less activity within the field
of view of the cameras. Traditionally, other systems using
other standard compression technologies would record
Video from the same number of cameras at a lesser frame
refresh rate as well as lower resolution for only about 48
hours instead of one month as with Digital VDO.

File sizes are dynamically changing based on background
and foreground high frequency algorithmic calculations,
providing a changing Video bandwidth that also makes
PSTN telephone line transmission a reality without
sacrificing either on resolution or frame refresh rates.
Typically using a PSTN connection with a 56KB modem,
4 cameras may be viewed at 2 fps each in a quad mode
down a traditional phone line with a 56KB modem at
each end with 56 KB data transfer rate available.

The system may be accessed once started by entering a
valid password. Once entered, system parameters may be
adjusted to account for lesser number of cameras connected
to each Video capture card and thus increasing frame
refresh rates on a per card basis, changes to resolution
and Video sensitivity, assignment of passwords, camera
and system descriptions, PTZ control, alarm functions,
setting up 4 Video motion detection zones per camera for
alarm transmission/alarm marking/frame rate increase, etc.

Once the Video threshold of the defaulted 500 MB of
spare overhead space in the standard 75 GB hard drive is
achieved, the system will rewrite the oldest stored Video
with the latest current hour. To satisfy needs in other
countries whereby a maximum of 31 days Video archival is
allowed by local regulation, the user may change this Video
recording threshold accordingly, but not below 500MB

It is suggested that all the Video be stored onto the
recorders hard drive, or additional hard drives, for the
period that is required by the client, example, 2 month, 4
months etc., and that files are transferred for scenes of
interest or alarm onto the recorder's RW-CD.
