What can the CCT730 do?
The CCT730 is a digital recording device that can record video images from up to 16 cameras
simultaneously without the use of tapes or any other external recording device. Unlike switchers
or quad systems it doesn't matter what camera picture you are watching on the monitor screen
the CCT730 records all the cameras all the time.
The CCT730 records the video images on to a removable hard drive in a digital format that
enables the user to play-back images from any of the cameras at the press of a button.
With no tapes to rewind, jam or deteriorate, the CCT730 takes CCTV in to the digital age. You
can leave the CCT730 to look after itself so that as its built in hard drive gets full the unit
automatically starts to overwrite its oldest video footage first for complete unattended security.
So how long can the CCT730 record for?
The CCT730 has many options such as motion detection; external alarm inputs, scheduled
recording and more that can all extend recording time. For example, you may set the CCT730
to record only when it detects movement in a cameras picture by utilising its comprehensive
Motion Detections circuitry that can be set up for each individual channel. Or you may wish to
enable scheduled recording so that you only record in working hours, this may be suitable for
shops and similar businesses. If you want the CCT730 to record 24hrs a day everyday you can
still extend the CCT730's recording capability by automatically altering the number of frames
recorded in "day hours" to that of "night hours". All this is very easy to adjust in the simple menu
settings of the CCT730.
The CCT730 is fitted with a very easy to use "hot swapping" hard disk system that means you
can swap the hard drive in the CCT730 in seconds, this serves three purposes;
1- Extends recording times, by sensible disk rotation.
2- Allows you to have an easy and fast back up of video footage
3- Allows you to view video footage on a remote PC, for convenient viewing.
For example
You may use 2 hard drives with the CCT730. One would be in the CCT730 protecting a
business or premises and the other drive may be stored at a managers or owners home. The
manager can attach the Hard drive to his home computer and replay any of the video stored on
it at his convenience and in the privacy of his own home. If therefore an event takes place that
he thinks the CCT730 may have captured, all he needs to do is swap over the two disks so that
he has the vital evidence to study at his leisure. He may wish to swap over the disk at some
predefined regular interval. Once you have connected the hard drive to a computer you can
