New Linux-based embedded DVRs provide excellent quality surveillance solution to security dealers for businesses.

Kingston, ONT — Sentry Security Systems Inc is releasing the Sentry LE-HC Digital Video Recorder (DVR) on October 6, 2006. It supports from 1-16 security cameras and provides an easy-to-use, real-time, excellent video quality surveillance solution for security dealers servicing convenience stores, retail stores, grocery stores, fast food restaurants, gas stations, and more.

This Linux-based embedded DVR has no software on the hard drive to corrupt and cannot be attacked by viruses, for maximum reliability. Operation can be accomplished by IR remote controller (comparable to a TV or VCR), as well as by mouse, providing a comfortable “feel” for users with or without PC experience. In addition, these DVRs can be accessed remotely over the Internet or LAN. This ability to view live and/or recorded video from remote locations using a standard PC allows people to easily keep an eye on their premise(s) no matter where they are.

“We introduced the Sentry LE Series to the DVR market three years ago and we’re building on its success with the release of the Sentry LE-HC. The two products are similar, but what sets the Sentry LE-HC apart is its real-time recording, one audio channel per video channel and MPEG4 hardware compression/decompression, the latter of which greatly reduces the strain on system resources.” said Mike Demmons, Business Development Manager at Sentry. “The Sentry LE-HC will open up huge opportunities for dealers and resellers by providing them with an extremely reliable, easy-to-use, real-time, excellent video quality surveillance solution for their clients.”

“Our Sentry LE Series system has performed flawlessly and provided valuable video security evidence on several occasions. It provided detailed video evidence of a break-in that occurred during the night as well as catching a narcotics user who, while a clerk was verifying payment information, emptied a bottle of pills into her purse.” Dale McCleskey owner of a retail pharmacy store called Best Buy Drug Store.

An excellent add-on to a Sentry LE or LE-HC video security system is the LE Data Capture. It can record and display transaction data from a POS System (cash register). The data from each transaction is then directly overlaid onto the video and a searchable database is created allowing abnormal transactions to be pinpointed on video. This device helps lower inventory and cash shrinkage, ensures a safer environment for employees, enhances loss prevention, and provides powerful search features to facilitate business management.
