cctv_down_under 0 Posted February 23, 2004 Left Third Message with state representative for distribution of Kalatel ... very dissapointing that they would be that childish!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unit979 0 Posted February 23, 2004 Thanks, actually I was finally able to get them downloaded. I think I will check into these. I am currently getting set up with a couple of distributors an hour away. Hey, any experiences with the "VDR". I will be hitting the local school system next month. They have nice Pelco cameras and multiplexors. This might be a cheap upgrade for them. From the little I read on the VDR's, they work almost the same as vcr's. Of course with vhs, when I try to play something back on a multipexor, IT SUCKS!!! The recorded tape isn't fluid, and sometimes it jumps off the "called" camera. I actually work as a school cop at one of the schools (part time), so I think I have a good chance of getting an account with them. Anyways, fast replies!!! Thanks, Brad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted February 23, 2004 the VDR is high quality recording like the others, only it doesn not have audio or remote / network access. Yes its a nice unit for those that dont need those 2 options. On a side note, ATV has a couple nice Multiplexers aht should wotj with the DVR, that havd IR remote Controls, they have 2 budget BW version,s a 4 channe land an 8 channel both Black & White though.

unit979 0 Posted February 23, 2004 the VDR is high quality recording like the others, only it doesn not have audio or remote / network access. Yes its a nice unit for those that dont need those 2 options. Rory That might work out fine. They are currently running no audio or remote access at the schools. Like I said, I really didn't read into the VDR much, but I imagine you can record as many cameras as the multiplexor allows, right? As stated before, they are running Pelco multiplexors. I just need to make sure the VDR's are compatible with pelco. Also, does it have the same call back/search options that the others have? Thanks, Brad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I has less featires thn the others, its just like a VCR, but high digital quality. If you need the search fatures you wouldn need one of the others. The single channel DSR-2000 or 1000 dont have ny search features either, only the all in one units. You however can use the network to seardch the DSR-2000 or 1000's.

unit979 0 Posted February 23, 2004 I was browsing the VDR's manual, and it didn't say anything about motion recording. Does it not offer it? Since school is only in session about 8 hrs per day, there is about 16 hours that no one is in the schools. However I would like motion recording in case someone broke in!!! What was you trying to say about the search feature? The manual said it can search by camera and time. Thanks, Brad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted February 23, 2004 Sorry, yes, but searching is not like on a StoreSafe or all in one. No, Motion dection must be built into the multiplexer, always. The VDR supports it. Some more basic versionsof muxes dont have motion detection, including the lower end Lite Q Kalatel Muxes. Check the muxes manual to be sure it it supports it.
