DVR

Keeping with the norms of today, we use the latest in DVR equipment to streamlessly record data collected from out cameras. We integrate the use of 500GB - 1 TB of hard disk storage space depending on the type of installation that is required by the client and for it specific purpose.

Remote monitoring is offered on request offering more flexibility for the user to have control over ones installation. We provide the complete set up of equipment as well as do the installations and configurations.

The DVR package contains two separate and complementary tools :
DVR GUI (dvr-qtgui) : an user friendly software, designed for end users.
