I. Introduction 1. Network Digital Video Recorder The 68A00-1 Network Digital Video Recorder is a device that transmits video and audio data via network in real-time. The server converts the analog video signals and audio signals into digital data and compresses them for on-line transmission. Since the server has a built-in web server and network interface, it may not require additional hardware, software, or programming (besides configuring IP address) to view live video transmissions.
3. Main Features The 68A00-1 is designed for various applications, such as IT related applications, remote monitoring, and Internet broadcasting with the user friendly interface. Highly Efficient MPEG4 Video Compression The 68A00-1 support a 4 to 5 times more efficient transmission compared to similar products based on the existing still image compression methods (JPEG and Wavelet). Under the same conditions, if the size of motion pictures and audio by still image compression method is 7.0 - 8.
Local Recording and Playback The internal hard drive provides the total security solution via network. 68A00-1 stores live video and audio on its local drive. The You can search and playback files at any time and anywhere network access is available.
