Looking for some inside information on Nice Systems DVRs and more importantly pricing if possible. thx

So you think your DVR is tough...think again! March Networks a Canadian based manufacturer, yes that's right a manufacturer in North America not some far off distant land has built the worlds toughest DVR! It's one tough mother ... March has introduced a model they call the 5308 MDVR, just like BMW the numbers stand for both series and performance. According to specs on their site (http://www.marchnetworks.com/products/dvr_comparison.asp) the DVR is capable of withstanding the most harshest environments and has passed the toughest industry shock and vide tests (J1455,IP65 and others). The unit has NO fans so other than the removable sealed hard drive chassis there are no other moving parts which translates into little to no maintenance, "fire and forget" construction. The DVR is designed specifically for the mobile environment and comes complete with docking station, which you would normally mount permanently. Then to remove the DVR you simply unlock it from the docking station and re-insert latter "voila no wires". I've also heard that some federal agencies have used the mobile DVR, which can effortless hook-up to a wireless network for surveillance in "hot stake out zones". Picture if you will a stake out which you don't want to blow your cover. Simply install the DVR and hook up your cameras (up to . Fire up the DVR and drive within range of the wireless network to view the "perps" conducting business, again "fire and forget". The DVR also comes with GPS capability which when viewing video in the playback tool will show you how fast the vehicle is travelling, what direction and where on the map (integrates with Microsoft Mappoint) the vehicle is located. Anyhow the price is extremely competitive for a unit that is the "Swiss Army Knife" of DVRs. Anyhow don't take my word for it check it out for yourself...http://www.marchnetworks.com/products/5308mdvr.asp. Has anyone else heard of March Networks? Any comments...

The easiest way is to use a bandwidth calculator specifically designed for DVRs. March Networks a manufacturer of DVRs has built a awesome dvr calculator which includes calculations for storage requirements, download times and bandwidth requirements based on their DVRs. check it out: http://www.marchnetworks.com/products/calcregform.asp

I don't know how much they are but if you call a local reseller they will surely give you MSRP. Here is a link to thier reseller page. A quick call and you'll have the MSRP. http://www.marchnetworks.com/partner/certifiedpartner.asp

March Networks has a great suite of DVRs to choose from (small, medium, enterprise and mobile DVRs). The fact they are linux based DVRs shows they are serious about reliability and performance. The viewing and configuration software is windows based and with the available SDK can be integrated into just about any software requiring a video recorder. The latest offering is the 3108 DVR (just like BMW the numbers stand for series and performance). This 8 channel mount on the wall panel box has more features than most higher end systems at a fraction of the cost. It can push a max of 60fps in performance configuration. The nice thing about March Networks who make thier home in Canada is that they know networking. Their engineers are some of the industries best. The software suite is common to all platforms so you won't need separate software when you scale. The DVRs are network agnostic, which mean they pretty much run over any type of network configuration and can scale from the slowest to the most demanding network bandwidth available.

Check out the list of resellers. The reason I believe there is no online purchasing is because March Networks has a distributor/reseller business model, you get great service and pricing from someone in your region as apposed to buying directly from manufacturer who would sell it at MSRP. The reseller has a volume agreement so the more they sell the more we save. You can view the available resellers here: http://www.marchnetworks.com/partner/certifiedpartner.asp#lam
