RUNCORN, UK, May 6th 2008 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced the release
of its line of HRSD Systems Series embedded digital video recorders (DVRs). The
new DVR series uses Honeywell’s XtraStor compression technology that allows more
storage space without compromising image quality. The HRSD Series is available
in 4, 8 and 16-channels.
The HRSD Series offers full-featured local and remote operation with flexible
configuration capability, making it ideal for closed-circuit television (CCTV)
systems used in multiple markets including financial, retail, education and
others. Users also can quickly transfer video evidence files with a ‘clip-copy’
function that allows video, audio and text to be burned onto common media such
as USB memory sticks.
“There is never a one-size-fits-all solution in video surveillance because
CCTV surveillance systems have diverse requirements,” said Chris Koetsier, EMEA
product marketing leader, Honeywell. “Because it supports a wide range of
channel and storage capacities, the HRSD Series can meet a broad range of
requirements and help organisations efficiently build their surveillance systems
while minimising overall cost.”
The HRSD portfolio is accessed over a digital network using Remote
Administration System Plus (RASplus) software that can be used to simultaneously
view live or stored video from up to 16 DVRs. Users can configure and download
software updates to HRSD DVRs remotely from a central site, saving time and
money by eliminating the need for separate site visits.
Additionally, the HRSD Series can operate with Honeywell’s new protocol
interface translator, SmartPIT™, for use in financial institutions and retail
stores. The SmartPIT device relays text data from point-of-sale (POS) and
automatic teller machine (ATM) systems to the HRSD. This provides a powerful
search tool that can help loss prevention managers quickly identify sources of
internal theft at retail outlets. Similarly, security investigators can use the
technology to better investigate fraudulent ATM transaction claims for financial
institutions.
The System Series also includes Honeywell’s high-performance HRXD Series,
which features the highest capture rate and storage capacities of the company’s
embedded DVR line.
