The HQR-1 is supplied with excellent configuration software compatible with all versions of windows including Vista. The software allows you to change many features such as time/date stamping, video quality and colour/contrast controls.

Most functions can also be controlled in the field using the LCD display.

It has a built-in mic and can also take audio from both line and audio inputs making it easy to connect to an intercom such as the peltor systems (line audio output is required on your intercom). Audio gain control is provided within the menu system.

A high quality USB port is provided to give a superior connection to your camera. Cables are provided to adapt any composite video signal so it's compatible with just about all cameras on the market. For configuration and for transfering files a 100mb/s LAN cable is provided and you can also use this device as a video server for live streaming over your network.

This recorder uses compact flash cards and we will provide each unit with a FREE DogCam CF card reader with USB cable.
