Easy-To-Use Digital Video Recorder Provides Improved Simplicity and Performance

December 23, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Sentry Security Systems Inc. has released a new version of their easy-to-use embedded LE Series digital video recorder (DVR). This edition expands the systems usability and user friendliness with features that are generally found on more expensive equipment, yet retains the components that made the previous version known for its reliability and ease-of-use.

“The Sentry LE Series DVR is a plug-and-play, easy-to-use, high quality, ultra reliable digital video surveillance solution that supports up to 16 closed circuit TV (CCTV) cameras. It is particularly suited for security applications where there is no in-house IT staff or when the system will be used by people with little to no PC experience. The upgrades increase the comfort level of the individual(s) using the equipment; they make the system more flexible and allow users, no matter what familiarity they have with CCTV, to easily and properly use the LE system.” Mike Demmons, Product Manager, Sentry Security Systems, Inc.

Highlighted New Features:
· Graphical Interfaces – Updated local and remote interfaces for improved ease-of-use.
· Multiple PTZ Protocols – User can control different PTZ cameras using multiple protocols on the same system.
· Video Resolution – Resolution can be set individually by camera.
· System Log – Records system operations into searchable log.
· System Configuration File – Users can backup and restore system configuration easily.
· Playback – Adjustments to brightness, contrast and sharpness can be performed on recorded video.
· Search by Event – Search recorded video for specific events such as motion within a predefined area that occurred within a specified time interval.
