PC-Based DVRs

This was our original Innovative "ShuttleVue" platform. The micro-sized computer is ultra quiet, efficient, and has the capability to record up to 4 video channels in a commercial application or up to 8 channels of video in a residential application. Using the on-board TV-out video port eliminates the need for a separate computer monitor. This AMD Athlon-powered DVR has all the functions of a Windows-Based PC, including network capability, USB, and Firewire ports.

This is our Commercial DVR. By using the slightly-larger "Antec Aria" case, we can offer a larger variety of main- boards, processors, and peripherals, while maintaining small size and noise-less operation. Our base model begins with 4 video channels and allows expansion of up to 16 Channels. This Windows-powered PC comes equipped with an Intel processor, on-board NIC, USB, CompactFlash, SmartMedia & offers the latest high-technology options, such as SATA hard drives and DVD writing capability.

If you require tons of storage, this is the DVR for you. The larger "Microfly" case provides plenty of room for several internal hard drives and offers 3 external drive bays for CD/DVD drives or removable hard drive caddys. This design includes multiple cooling fans, a digital temperature sensor, and an embedded camera power supply. This eliminates the need for external power supplies and multiple AC adapters. This model will accept our entire line of DVR cards, providing coverage from 1 to 16 channels, recording full-motion video, and providing Internet viewing capability.

The entire unit is self-contained and requires only a single 12Volt DC source. All other voltages required for the computer, cameras, hard drive, etc. are all developed inside of this DVR. This eliminates all shock hazards, while maintaining a small, compact profile. The design flexibility allows for the installation of any type of video capture card and is network ready.

Sample Display Screens (from our current customers) Typical Commercial application:

This was a live snapshot taken from one of our local 4-channel retail accounts. Note the first 3 screens indicate "recording" because of detected movement within the protected areas, while the last screen, the emergency exit, indicates "record." In this configuration, no recording is occurring until motion is detected. If the customer needs a copy of a video file for police purposes, the video files can be copied to practically any media...CD, DVD, CompactFlash, USB Drive, or SmartMedia. This system may also be expanded to allow up to 16 cameras.

Typical Residential Application:

This snapshot was taken from one of our local residential customers. This system scans all 4 cameras, one-at-a-time, awaiting motion. Nothing is recorded until motion is detected. After motion is detected, you will see an outline of the video on the right side of the screen (which is also used to configure the sensitivity of the recorder) and a video file will be created.

We recommend this type of configuration for residential systems. Since all of the cameras write to the same file, it is remarkably easy to document the intruder walking throughout the residence (sometimes referred to as "camera-following").
