CCTV Digital Video Recorder

AMERICAN DYNAMICS INTELLEX: DIGITAL VIDEO MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

Intellex DVMS (available with 8 and 16 channels)

The original digital video management system, Intellex DVMS has been leading the market since 1997. Intellex DVMS offers a 16-channel system that records up to 120 ips at 2CIF. Intellex DVMS is offered in a desktop or rack mount chassis with Standard, Deluxe and Premier packages. This means simplified packaging for easier ordering, maintenance and configuration. And because Intellex DVMS is networkable and easily integrates with other equipment and software applications, it’s a cost-effective solution for many new and existing applications.

More Than a Digital Recorder

American Dynamics offers the most comprehensive range of digital video management products on the market. From smaller installations (Intellex LT) to mid-size applications (Intellex DVMS) and now to more demanding applications that require higher resolution and performance (Intellex Ultra), there is a solution for any situation. Plus, we provide the flexibility of IP-based video surveillance (Intellex IP) and every platform can be remotely managed using Network Client Remote Management Software. But Intellex does more than just record. You can simultaneously record, play back and archive video, text and audio while using sophisticated search functions.

Simple, Intuitive User Interface

The Intellex user interface is extremely easy to use, no matter what your skill level. Access all operations using one-click buttons, pull-down menus, adjustable sliders and tabbed screens.

Save Time and Money with Recording at Its Best

Intellex gives you an accurate representation of specific transactions by recording RS-232 text data streams from devices like cash registers and ATMs. It displays this information side by side with time-synchronized video in addition to the related audio. Efficiently search the transaction database or schedule recording by specifying the exact text or transaction criteria.

Record Only the Events You Need

Use IntelleCord to conserve space on your hard drive by recording only events that trigger an alarm at times that matter. You can set triggers for alarms generated electronically within Intellex based on: 1) any motion 2) crossing a perimeter 3) changes in light and 4) specific motion exceptions. You can also set triggers for any external wired alarm that provides a contact closure.

Additionally, you can configure settings to automatically re-position cameras in response to an alarm. IntelleCord enables you to customize the settings for each camera on your system and thereby optimize security and record duration.

Intellex retains up to five minutes of pre-alarm video when you set IntelleCord to record on alarm only. Unlimited pre-alarm video is available when you set Intellex to record continuously, the first 15 minutes of which can be conveniently retrieved via a pre-alarm video index.

Instantly Find Video Based on Motion Criteria

Use Smart Search to filter through hours of video to find clips fast. With the click of a mouse, you’ll be able to view every instance when someone crossed a perimeter, turned lights on and off, or moved or drove a vehicle in the wrong direction at an inappropriate speed, and more. For motion exception, simply specify the type of motion that you are looking for—speed, direction, size of the moving object—and Intellex will find it for you.

Easily Share Incidents

The integrated CD-RW or DVD-RW allows you to save video to a standard recordable CD or DVD. This is ideal when you need to provide the authorities, vendors or other non-security personnel with video, audio, and text data of incidents to view on their own PC9. The Intellex Player software may be added to the CD or DVD as well so no additional software needs to be purchased to view the video. Network Client provides the ability to concatenate exported video clips and play a series of related clips, creating an “incident storyboard” that can be used for video evidence or auditing.

Play Back Video from any External Source on any Intellex

View video from any external source you choose – CD, DVD, network drive, or a flash drive directly from Intellex. Simply click on the “External” button, select the appropriate drive, and view stored video.

Integrity of Evidence You Can Trust

The Intellex recording format gives each image a unique identification “stamp”. Even though the file structure is PC-compatible, the original video images are virtually impossible to alter or modify. By ensuring authenticity in this way, Intellex protects the court admissibility of your video evidence.

Easy to Set up and Operate

Intellex not only reduces equipment expenses and investigation time, it also features simple on-screen menus that make training and operation intuitive and easy. Customize access rights for multiple operators with passwords. Choose between NTSC and PAL. The removable BNC panel on 16-channel models and camera termination via software provide hassle-free camera connections. Intellex can be configured to provide alarm notification in the event of a hard drive failure, ensuring your critical events are always captured. Add swappable10 hard drives on Intellex Ultra and you’ve got a highly reliable system that’s easy to use and maintain.

Remote Accessibility Offers the Most Flexible Viewing

With Browser Client, you can host and customize your own website to provide live viewing of Intellex video through a standard browser interface. Multiple clients can access and even control domes remotely through Browser Client, which is available at no charge. If more advanced operations are required, Network Client allows you to remotely configure Intellex, select video segments by time, date or alarm, use Smart Search, view up to 64 simultaneous live video segments and have virtual matrix capability11 when used with a CCTV keyboard. Save, annotate, and organize copied video into incident folders to aid with investigations. View recorded video on Network Client without downloading the video onto that PC or export video clips to an .AVI file to play on any Windows-based PC. For more information on these and other Intellex tools, such as Intellex Archive Manager and Intellex Policy Manager, refer to our separate Intellex Management Suite data sheet.

Intellex Web Server Provides Live Video Over the Web

The Intellex web server component allows you to view live video via a web page at 4CIF. Users enter a password to log on to the server, which ensures that only authorized personnel access the video. In addition, users have PTZ control of dome cameras from the web server.

Optimize Settings to Fit Your Specific Needs

Record duration, or the quantity of images that can be recorded on hard drives, is affected by several factors. Digital video with high levels of activity or detail consumes more disk space than video with little activity or detail. Choose from super, extended record, and normal settings to balance image quality against record duration. For longer record durations, simply reduce your resolution settings. Use Auto Rate mode with Intellex Ultra, DVMS, and LT to set equal frame rates for each camera or adjust the recording frame rate per camera.

Customize Views with Multi-Camera Playback and Display

Select live and play back displays for any camera in any position in 1x1, 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4 picture formats. In live camera display and play back, choose Full Screen mode to hide the controls and fill the entire screen or Menu mode to display the control interface. Play back video segments at a variety of speeds in forward or reverse sequence.

Take a Closer Look for Superior Analysis

Choose any live or recorded picture area and zoom in 2X to 16X or a closer look. Digitally enhance the color, contrast and sharpness of events. Easily navigate or move around in the enlarged picture for a quick, magnified look at all details.

Respond More Quickly for Better Security

Respond to potential emergencies more quickly with automated email notification. You can configure specific types of events that register on your Intellex (such as drive failure) and cameras (such as motion detection alarms) as email triggers that generate and send a message to a pre-defined distribution list.

Upgradable, Expandable Platforms Provide Room to Grow

Keep your system up-to-date with software upgrades easily installed from digital media or via the web. In addition, each Intellex DVMS and LT system can connect to up to three Extended Storage Modules (ESM) to expand the local storage capacity. Intellex Ultra provides up to 2.0 TB of internal storage capacity and supports SAN and NAS devices including the American Dynamics RAID Storage System for extended storage, as does Intellex IP.

Best Video Compression in the Industry Saves Significant Space, Money and Bandwidth

Unlike MPEG-4 and MJPEG, the patented American Dynamics Active Content Compression (ACC) technology was developed specifically for security applications and can differentiate between true motion and video noise. This allows images to be compressed into files that are one ninth the size they would be if compressed with MPEG-4 technology, which means you will use far less disk space. In fact, images compressed using ACC can save you up to $69,00012 over a 30-day period when you factor in the additional space you would have to purchase for storing MPEG-4 images.
