DCS HQR-1 Mpeg2/Mpeg4
Digital video recorder

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).

A high quality IRIS port is provided to give a supperior 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.

This recorder uses compact flash cards and is supplied with a PCMCIA adapter. Most laptops have a PCMCIA slot on them so you will be able to take the card out from the recorder and instantly view the video on your computer. If you don't have a PCMCIA slot then a CF card reader can be purchased for less than £10.00 from just about anywhere on the web.

The video processor in this recorder uses advanced algorithms to reduce the effect of interlacing articles attributed to digital video when played back on a TFT screen.

It does not come with a screen but we can supply an external 3" TFT test monitor to make it easier to set up your camera. The screen can be left plugged in during recording or removed for greater portability.

With a solid alloy case, this is the most rugged DVR suitable for use in just about any environment.
