Overview
Features
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P Digital Surveillance Recorder is a
hybrid security recorder that records pictures from
multiple surveillance video cameras with a high
picture quality for long periods of time.
The differences between the HSR-2/2P and the HSR-1/
1P are described clearly in the manual. For anything
not mentioned, the operating procedure of the HSR-2/
2P and the HSR-1/1P is the same.
Versatile Processing of
Numerous Images
Four alternative picture quality modes
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P can be switched among four levels
of picture quality: Super, High, Middle and Low
modes. This enables the appropriate balance between
picture quality and recording time to be selected
depending on the application. Super mode provides
excellent picture quality with a horizontal resolution of
more than 500 TV lines. High mode provides higher
quality than that of conventional equipment, with
resolution close to that of the S-VHS format and much
higher S/N ratio.
By selecting Middle or Low mode, you can prolong
recording time compared with the upper modes.
Large storage capacity
Using DV cassette tape (270-minute tape) as the
storage medium, the HSR-1/1P/2/2P offers a large
storage capacity of more than 60 gigabytes.
Long recording time
With its long-time recording capability, the HSR-1/1P/
2/2P releases you from frequent tape changes.
High refresh rate
The HSR-1/1P/2/2P is capable of recording images at
a high refresh rate (0.4 seconds at minimum) for each
camera, so you no longer have to worry about failing
to record key scenes.
High Reliability, Low Maintenance
Reduced use of tape mechanism
The hybrid configuration, with a hard disk and DV
tape drive, makes it possible to achieve higher
reliability. The tape transport and heads of the HSR-1/
1P/2/2P are idle most of the time because the DV tape
drive works only while recording the image data being
transferred from the hard disk.
