The Samsung H.264 SRD series of DVRs have been upgraded to provide compatibility with the recently introduced selected 2TB hard disk drives manufactured by Seagate and Western Digital. For models featuring built-in DVD drives this allows up to 8TB of onboard storage and up to a massive 10TB for models without built-in DVD drives."The SRD series of DVRs have always been price competitive but they now offer even better value with the introduction of the 2TB hard disk drive compatibility," said Peter Ainsworth, Senior Product Manager at Samsung Techwin Europe Ltd. "On medium to large size CCTV projects where there are a large number of cameras to be installed, the new potential storage capacity of each of model, combined with H.264 compression, means that far fewer units will have to be purchased than previously."Samsung SVS series hard disk expansion units have also been upgraded to offer up to 8TB storage per unit. When used in conjunction with the range topping SRD-1670 DVR, users can achieve over 31 days real-time recording across 16 channels at full 4-CIF resolution, benefitting from a total of 24TB storage.To make it easy to choose the correct hard disk, Samsung offers an upgrade kits that comes complete with everything needed to successfully replace or install new hard disks to SRD series DVRs or SVS series expansion units.Available from all Samsung distributors, the SRD series of DVRs and SVS series of hard disk expansion units are offered with full support services from Samsung Techwin Europe Ltd, including free system design, free technical support and a full three-year warranty.For further information please email STEsecurity@samsung.com or telephone +44 (0) 1932 45 5308 or www.samsungcctv.com

Hanwha Techwin America launch 4 channel network-friendly H.264 DVR with built-in LCD monitor

The latest addition to the Samsung DVR range, the SVR-470, which utilises "network-friendly" H.264 compression to minimise storage and bandwidth requirements, is able to simultaneously record video in real time across all its four channels.Equipped with a built-in 3.5" LCD screen for space saving and convenient viewing, the competitively priced SVR-470 is likely to prove popular with end-users who require a CCTV system with  only a small number of cameras but will expect to be able to record and store images of the highest quality.The SVR-470 has a 1TB on-board storage capacity with a USB terminal to facilitate the transfer of video evidence.  Supplied with Samsung's license free CMS (Centralised Management Software), the SVR-470 offers a long list of other user-friendly features including a fourteen language on screen display menu,  10/100 base-T network interface capability and ATM-POS text saving options. It also supports RS-232C and RS-485 controls as well as multi-protocol Pan / Tilt / Zoom control. As well as using the built-in monitor up to two external monitors can be connected at the same time to facilitate the simultaneous viewing of live and recorded video.Audio recording across all four channels is possible with the option to enable an audio detection feature so that sound is only recorded when triggered by an alarm event or when detected above a specified level.
