This is the most economical solution Security Camera King has to offer in DVRs. Just because we said it was our most economical solution doesn't mean we left out quality
and performance; quite the contrary. Applications for this DVR are limitless ranging from residential to enterprise business; we couldn't even to begin to list them all here.
Our 4-16 Channel Elite Mini Economy Series DVRs can record at a maximum, up to 4-16 cameras simultaneously in D1 (704 x 480 pixels) resolution at 7 frames per second. It
can also record in a lower resolution at a faster frame rate. Regardless of what your recording preference is, the recordings are high quality, crystal clear color (or black and
white) videos produced with a machine that yields optimum performance.
We call it a "mini" because the case is only 1U size. It is large enough to hold the necessary electronic components to give you high performance and high quality videos, but
small enough to fit just about anywhere. For enterprise customers, this unit is rack mountable. The mini size prevents us from making any room for more than 1 internal hard
disk drive, but you can purchase one large enough to hold months of video data. On the other hand, the small case size allows for easy storage in small places like campers,
boats, closets, bedrooms, and almost anywhere else.
Just because this is a "Mini Economy" DVR it doesn't mean we left off all the features. To begin with, this DVR has three video outputs, HDMI, VGA, and BNC and you can
display all three simultaneously (and the HDMI can also carry audio if you use it). You can also playback all 4-16 channels simultaneously on the monitor(s). We include 1
channel of audio and even an RCA audio port to attach a PA speaker if you want to use it as two-way audio. This DVR also includes an RS485 port connection to operate Pan
Tilt Zoom cameras and offers full PTZ camera control.
We offer free unlimited technical support and a 1 year warranty on the unit. We also include an infrared remote control and a USB mouse.
