The Armor-Pro digital video recorder is a completely stand alone surveillance camera recorder that uses a Linux real time operating system (RTOS) so no computer is required to control or manage the system.

The Armor-Pro DVR is designed for one thing and that is to provide high quality, extremely reliable video recording. Simply plug in the unit and hook up any standard VGA computer monitor and you can immediately begin recording up to 240 images/frames per second (FPS) right away.

The huge 500-gigabit hard drive will provide you with weeks of high quality recorded images that are easily accessed by the on-screen menus. With a simple user interface and the uncompromising stability of the Linux operating system, this DVR is built to perform.

Motion Based Recording:

Video based motion detection allows you to only record video when there is movement in the picture. You can mask out areas of the picture such as trees, roadways or sidewalks so you only record the action that you want.

The system is so sophisticated that it will begin to record 5-seconds prior to the motion and then continue to record for up to 60 seconds after the motion ends. Each camera can be programmed with its own recording schedule so you can elect to record 24-7 or only when there are video motion based events.

Remote Viewing over the Internet:

The Armor-Pro Digital Video Management System includes an integrated network interface that supports remote viewing from anywhere in the world. It's as easy as plugging the DVR into your network connection and setting up the IP address and port forwarding.

Each Armor Pro DVR is shipped with a simple to use remote viewing client software package that allows you to connect and control up to 16 DVR's at the same time. With the remote viewing software package installed, you could effectively manage up to 256 cameras located in sixteen different areas with a network of Armor-Pro DVR's.

H.264 Video Compression Offers Higher Quality Images Recorded at Incredible Frame Rates:

H.264 presents a huge step forward in video compression technology. Because the file sizes are much smaller, you can record longer periods at higher quality settings. With standard MPEG-4 video compression, you are forced to choose between extended storage capacity and higher quality recording resolutions. This has a negative impact on the quality of playback as video images can become blurry or less detailed. With H.264 compression, you get higher resolution images at increased frame rates which mean you no longer have to compromise.

Benefits of H.264 Video Compression

By utilizing H.264, the most efficient video compression standard that is available today, the Armor-Pro DVR is setting a new standard for standalone digital video recorders. The immediate benefit to you is drastically reduced file sizes, higher quality recordings and quicker refresh times for remote viewing applications using limited bandwidth.

Without compromising image quality, the H.264 encoder in the Armor-Pro DVR can reduce the size of a digital video file by more than 80% compared with the Motion JPEG format and as much as 50% more than with the traditional MPEG-4 standard.

H.264 Video Compression Offers 3x Smaller File Size Than MPEG-2

With image sizes up to 60% smaller, the Armor-Pro DVR with H.264 Video Compression uses significantly less disk space than any of our competitors making it one of the most efficient digital video recorders on the market. Smaller file sizes require less processing power to record high quality images to the hard-drive. That means the Linux based real time operating system in the Armor-Pro DVR is free to focus on recording.

The Armor-Pro DVR with H.264 offers smaller file sizes for faster more efficient recording which translates into substantially higher image quality and faster remote download times with less bandwidth.

H.264 Uses Dramatically Less Bandwidth and Offers Better Image Quality

The reduced image size offered by H.264 utilizes dramatically less Bandwidth that either MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 which makes the Armor-Pro DVR remarkably better at remote video transmission than any competitive brand stand alone DVR on the market. The Armor-Pro DVR can download images over the internet up to 4x faster than some of our competitors.

The benefit to the end user is faster download speeds which translates into higher quality video without the motion blurring which is inherent in MPEG-4 video compression. You won't use all of your available bandwidth for remote viewing and you will be rewarded with more fluid playback and substantially higher quality video.

Built-In DVD Burner for Back-up:

With the simple to navigate on-screen display you can quickly find motion or alarm based events or you can go right to a specific time and date to review recorded video. What used to take hours can be accomplished in minutes.

Once you find the evidence you need, you can easily back-up or transfer the recorded video to a network drive, onto a DVD with the built-in burner or you can even use a USB Flash Drive by plugging it into the port conveniently located on the front of the DVR.

Armor-Pro Digital Recorders - Simply the Best Value

Once you compare the features of the Armor-Pro DVR with industry leaders such as Pelco, Bosch and Honeywell, you will find that we are in a class by ourselves. No one even comes close to the quality and features of the Armor-Pro DVR.

With advanced H.264 compression, larger standard hard drives, higher resolution and a built-in DVD/RW, the AP-HDVR series represents the best value in stand alone, linux based digital video recorders.
