OVERVIEW
DIGIMUX ADVANTAGES
The DigiMux™ DG4000 Digital Surveillance System includes a 4, 9, or 16 camera
Digital Video Recorder (DVR), DigiClient™ remote viewing and configuration
software, DigiAlert remote event/alarm notification, and one DigiRemote™ infrared
(IR) remote control. DigiMux is a multifaceted product that integrates key elements
into a single security CCTV solution. DigiMux triplex technology also enables you to
view live and recorded video simultaneously, while recording other video. DigiMux
essentially replaces two time-lapse VCRs, a multiplexer, and a video server – all in
one space saving digital solution.
A key advantage to digital video is that it can be indexed by time or events, and
recorded video can be instantly viewed. DigiMux enables you to easily access
recorded video almost instantaneously without having to rewind videotapes. You can
view video using fast-forward, rewind, and pause functions, while avoiding
problems such as image streaking or tearing, which are common with analog VCR
technology.
DigiMux converts the analog video signals into digital video images that can be
stored on an array of hard disk drives and storage devices. Three USB ports enable
video export to external devices. An IEEE-1394 (FireWire
®
) port enables possible
storage expansion using external devices.
You can control DigiMux remotely with DigiClient via Ethernet connection to a LAN,
WAN or the Internet, or via dial-up modem. DigiRemote, a fully functional infrared
remote control, provides control of DigiMux including basic dome control. Three USB
ports enable video export to compatible external USB devices such as CD-RWs, hard
drives or ThumbDrives
®
. Exported video can be easily viewed in Windows Media
Player. Two IEEE-1394 (FireWire®) ports enable external storage expansion
supporting up to two Extended Storage Modules (ESMs),
1
which can provide up to
1.6 TB (TeraBytes) of total online storage.
DigiMux offers advanced features not typically found in standard multiplexers,
including motion detection, remote alarm notification, remote access, and real-time
Active Window. DigiClient remote viewing and configuration software extends the
features, accessibility, and usability of DigiMux. DigiAlert provides fast, reliable
alarm notification on your remote PC. Overall, the DigiMux is a full-featured
integrated digital surveillance solution that can be used in virtually any application.
