Embedded Text Dvr

[stress3 0]

Hello there Gurus !

 

Need a little help ! i have been ask for an embedded text dvr watching over tills and the entered text to be recorded to hdd then be able to burn to disk. I believe that a unit connects to till and direct to dvr !

straight forward enough !! But customer thinks iam a new eistein or somthing like that, i just stay level headed and thank for install and user manuals ! problem i got now is he wants to display all the cams on the till

which is a toshiba st71 :

 

Question gurus ! does anyone know of a way to do this before ihave to spend pure money on a tech help line speaking to a computer aided technical temp stand in and the good possible listening to the company hold tune of "its A kind magic" by QUEEN.

I do not understand the questions... does anyone?

 

Are you referring to text overlay of data on video? Example, transfer of text lets say from cash register to video and then store so that later you can find a video based on text search?

 

It will help if you can describe your application little more clear or exactly what is your application?

Hi Recon !

deepest apolagies for bad spelling and not explaining more?

yes the question is how do u text overlay of data on video ? does any one have any experience with this ?

and also the customer wants to view his cams from back store dvr at the till ? so im a little unsure of wether this can be done on a Toshiba st-71

Pos terminal !

 

Any guidance or discussion would be Fan daby !

Aye.

Essentially your stealing the data that would normally be sent to the printer.

At the POS terminal you can adjust what data gets sent to the printer.

At the DVR you can position the data on the screen.

 

But it also depends on the DVR being able to accommodate Text overlay.

Do you already have a DVR?

 

 

It can be done with Geovision and Avermedia PC card units.

Additional POS hardware required. One per Terminal.

 

With geovision units, you can use re-wired serial cables instead of additional POS hardware.

If your POS terminal has something like "Till Scan" built in, and the ability to print directly to a printer, you can send the printer data down a serial cable straight to a Geovision DVR.

You can also buy Serial to usb adapters, meaning you can easily accomodate 6 POS terminals.

 

You need to discuss this with the POS terminal suppliers and your DVR supplier.

Some tills are running Windows in the background.

If thats the case with this toshiba, then just install the viewing softwear and he can switch between the till application and the viewing application.

 

Your in Scotland?

Give me an excuse to fly home and I'll drop in.
