1. 94 47 KE SNOMGUTS 95 1 Introduction We present to you next version of NET PROFESSIONAL system with many new functions and modules Many of these changes are the effect of our cooperation with You and our Partners Part of them are our ideas which extend capabilities of digital video recording Please pay your attention to the possibilities of simultaneous image recording from network cameras and widely used so far analogue cameras developed archives and wider capabilities of controlling the whole system 1 1 System description NET PROFESSIONAL is a digital video recorder designed for cooperation with CCTV cameras It uses PC class computers which work under control of Microsoft Windows VISTA 7 32 Bit operating system New NET PROFESSIONAL system version can record image from up to 32 cameras servicing 32 output switches and 32 alarm inputs Moreover system can be hybrid that is one system can service both analogue an IP cameras thanks to this it is possible to upgrade an existing installation and add IP or analogue cameras Managing the video server through the network is possible Program allows wide possibilities of motion detection settings searching the motion in archives servicing alarm events Differential image compression method guarantees image recording longer than in other systems of that type without changing the image quality and storage space
