1.2 Product Description
The Vista Columbus Triplex CDR is a video multiplexer with a built-in CD writer capable of recording
from multiple cameras to an internal hard drive while simultaneously providing playback. Unlike
outdated time-lapse VCRs, the Vista Columbus Triplex CDR records high-resolution pictures. Digital
recording improves playback quality over VCRs, and eliminates the hassle of cleaning heads,
changing tapes or servicing motors. Depending on the setup, the Vista Columbus Triplex CDR can
store from a few hours to more than 3 years of colour images.
Programmable search features eliminate time consuming fast-forwarding or rewinding of tapes, while
searching for critical data. Search for recorded images or events by alarm, time, date, video loss, or
camera number. The Vista Columbus Triplex CDR also features convenient front panel buttons for
one-touch printing and archiving (CD writing).
Caution! This products primary purpose is to furnish video multiplexing and recording.
Although the unit has alarm handling and motion detection functions, they are considered
secondary features. This unit should not be the only alarm device on site.
