The S-Series provides customers in a wide variety of industries, including financial services and retail, with an economical and compact option that offers powerful enterprise features with the redundancy needed for maximum evidence retention. The S-Series provides an entry point to 3VR’s Video Intelligence Platform.
- RAID Storage Options and Improved Capacity: With patented video analysis capabilities that isolate and store critical images, 3VR’s SmartStorage technology increases data and evidence retention by up to 15x over conventional DVRs and video management systems without the need for additional hard drives.
- Field Replaceable Storage: To eliminate downtime and significantly reduce the troubleshooting effort required by a failed drive, the new S-Series features “hot swappable” hard drive replacement capabilities.
- Highest Quality Analog Video Capture Available: With all analog cameras able to record 4CIF at 30 frames per second, users have a greater ability to record and analyze high-quality video without purchasing additional hardware.
- Easy Migration To IP Cameras: As a hybrid DVR, the S-Series supports a wide variety of IP cameras, allowing users to benefit from the latest IP technologies, including multi-megapixel cameras and 3VR Camera Virtualization. Such technologies improve monitoring and investigations while lowering physical and operational costs.
