DEDICATED MICROS REDEFINES CCTV WITH THE LAUNCH OF THE CAMVU ICR (INTEGRATED CAMERA RECORDER)

Dedicated Micros - part of AD Group - is launching an advanced CamVu ICR (Integrated Camera Recorder). This revolutionary concept combines a megapixel or standard IP camera with a powerful enterprise class video server - all in one compact package - to deliver robust, failsafe, local recording and video management at the edge of a customer’s network.

Available with megapixel, VGA or analogue resolution, the CamVu ICR offers one day of full rate recording thanks to 32GB of onboard solid state storage provided by a microSD card or similar.

In addition, the CamVu ICR has the potential to access further tiered storage, including a locally connected SATA drive via ATA over Ethernet (AoE). Using the AoE protocol allows the highly-secure, point-to-point, transfer of video files to a separate storage device, for backup and long-term archiving. A key point is that this can continue to operate, even in the event of complete failure of the TCP/IP architecture and network infrastructure.

The new ICR supports the transmission of multiple, simultaneous, video streams in MPEG-4 and JPEG for live viewing and recording. As the groundbreaking ICR has been created with a built-in high performance enterprise server, users are able to take advantage of advanced functions such as MultiMode Recording. This allows dynamically-switchable resolution, record-rate and compression (MPEG4/JPEG) settings. The ICR is also Analytics Capable which provides the potential for users to take advantage of the wide range of analytics solutions now offered by Dedicated Micros.

Other features of the ICR include: telemetry support which allows it to be paired with a Pan/Tilt housing and secure web pages to aid the remote configuration of the camera.

Pauline Norstrom, Director of Worldwide Marketing for Dedicated Micros: “We believe that there is a powerful case, when it comes to CCTV in an IP environment, for a decentralised approach based around an IP camera which actually pulls together all of the key elements of effective CCTV in one single unit, ensuring that – unlike centralised NVR based solutions – recording can actually be maintained regardless of the status of the IP network. This is something we have been actively pursuing over the last 12 months and has come to fruition with the unveiling of our new CamVu (ICR) Integrated Camera Recorder (ICR).

“The defining aspect of the ICR, compared to anything else on the market, is that it comprises a full, enterprise grade, server – similar to those in our DV-IP range - integrated within an IP camera. In practice this means that the ICR can readily support key capabilities such as local storage, local viewing and playback, remote access, metadata integration, event logging/management and even analytics.”
