Intellex
®
v3.2 is the newest release of American Dynamics’ flagship DVR product. The operation and
usability of Intellex
®
v3.2 is an improvement over its v3.1 predecessor. New features include enhancements
to dome control and text handling. Intellex Archive Manager and Intellex Policy Manager will be of value
in larger installations for data backup and Intellex security. Intellex IP is a first step in a growing demand to
use IP cameras and domes.
With these improved capabilities, Intellex remains the leader in digital storage among DVRs that record up
to 16 cameras in a single box. When used in conjunction with Network Client, Intellex gives you the ability
to change setup parameters, control domes and review both live and recorded video, text and audio
remotely.
Our general design philosophy is to keep products as simple as possible to operate. By nature, Intellex is a
complex device. The complexity increases with the array of options. The mouse-driven graphical user
interface (GUI) and intuitive pulldown menus follow Windows
®
convention and have been made as simple
as possible while maintaining a wide range of functionality. Computer people love it. Non-computer
people love the ability to use the product without a keyboard.
