entire log.
Store the video clips, locally to HDD
and/or remotely through a network.
Recyclable data storage, system
automatically overwrites oldest files (FIFO) to avoid loss of current
surveillance recordings, user configurable to overwrite when disk space is
below 500 MB or 100 MB, eliminates the need to regularly review and delete
recordings.

standard Windows MS Media Player, BMP and JPEG files can be viewed with MS
Paint, Quick View, etc, no special software required.
Sequential capture and analysis (in Motion
Detection mode) of images from 4 inputs at up to 384 x 288 (CCIR/PAL &
SECAM) 320 x 240 (Read
this) (EIA/NTSC).
* LOWER-NOISE
* HIGHER-RESOLUTION see comparison below
* DETERIORATION-FREE
* CONSISTENT IMAGE QUALITY
Compared to conventional
4 Channel Quad / VCR recording systems that are susceptible to fluctuating
results depending on condition of Tape, VCR Heads and Transport
mechanisms.
GoVideo-4:
CCIR/PAL recording 384 (H) x 288 (V) per camera = 110
592 pixels.
Quad & VHS VCR: CCIR/PAL recording ~
160 x ~ 288 per camera = 46 080 pixels, 58% less data.
Quad & SUPER-VHS VCR:
CCIR/PAL recording ~ 265 x ~ 288 per camera = 76 320 pixels, 31% less
data.
Above comparison is based on a VCR
operating in Frame-Recording mode, as most VCRs (in
Time-Lapse mode) only record Fields, the situation is
considerably worse as only 144 (not 288) horizontal scan lines are
recorded per camera. In Field mode per camera pixels
for VHS are: 23 040, 79% less data, for
Super-VHS 38 160, 65% less data.
SOFTWARE APPLICATION
REQUIREMENTS:
CPU: Pentium 200 or above, Pentium IV or better
recommended, Celeron not recommended.
Motherboard: PCI 2.1 compliant.
OS: Microsoft Windows 98 / ME with latest updates.
One PCI Slot and IRQ (Interrupt Request).
Sound Card: (optional) for audio recording or automatic Dial-Out
notification to telephones.
Hard Disk space: Plenty of disk storage for recording, at least 1GB per
camera.
System RAM: 64 MB or above.
Display card: 16-bit high colour or 24-bit true colour, 800 x 600 or
above, Direct Draw compatible.
Parallel Port: for KEYPRO Hardware Key. Printer can still be connected
and used.
External Modem and Telephone line (optional) for remote viewing, Web Cam,
Dial-Out, etc. Recommended Modems: Rockwell, ZyXel or
Lucent ChipSet, other types may be unsuitable. (Some users have
reported success with following ChipSets - we include this for
informational purposes only and do not recommend or suggest that any of
these will function with GoVideo-4 System. DSI (Digicon
systems), D13635-1/5655 with Creative Win Modem, Connexant sold under name
of "Pine" no. FM-3711-11 V4.0 W03/01, Rockwell 6793 PCI Modem,
Intel 815).
Video Cameras: Up to 4 with standard 75 ohm composite video output,
monochrome or colour, reliable recording is not possible with a mix of
monochrome & colour cameras.
STORAGE
REQUIREMENTS:
Hard Disk Space requirements are
impossible to specify, there are numerous variables that will affect the
size of each AVI Video Clip, they include: Image Resolution - Compression
- Capture Rate (Frames-per-Second) - PC Speed/Performance - Image
Content:- A solitary person moving about
(only a portion of image is changing) - VERSUS - Numerous
persons and/or vehicles moving about (large portions of image are
changing).
Below are examples from a system that
operates continuously 24 hours per day, PC hardware is: AMD K6-2/450 CPU
(approximately equal to a 450 MHz Pentium), Epox MVP3 Apollo AGP/PCI
ChipSet Motherboard with 1 MB L2 cache, 128 MB 100 MHz DRAM, IDE 33 ATA
HDD.
This data is for a single channel
operating in Motion Detection Mode, Camera is a 600 + H-Line Colour
Day / Night / IR
unit with Automatic Iris Lens and Infra-Red illumination, the scene is the
driveway / entrance to our warehouse. Activity in this situation includes:
one to several persons moving about in the driveway, motor vehicles coming
and going and passing motor vehicles, a person moving about in the
driveway occupies 60% ~ 20% of the captured image frame height, a Truck
occupies up to ~ 40% of image area. Motion Detection Sensitivity level is
such that a Cat moving about at an ~ 6 metre wide point in the scene
triggers recording Day or Night (under InfraRed illumination). GoVideo
settings are: Resolution = 384 x 288, Compression = 5 (minimum
compression, therefore highest image quality), Frame Rate is set to
maximum for this Computer, 62 per 10 seconds.
There are 5 levels of Compression, with a
static scene and resolution = 384 x 288, frame file size varies between 1
kB ~ 7 kB as compression is varied from 1 (maximum) to 5 (minimum). The
minimum Frame Rate is 1 per 10 seconds, the maximum rate is dependent on
PC Speed/Performance and resolution. AVI file data (number of frames) was
obtained using MS Media Player with Indeo video 5.04 Decompression Filter
- Video Renderer.
Over a 20 day period 3 547 events were
captured, they occupied 467 MB of Disk Space, the smallest AVI file was 12
kB (2 Frames), the maximum was 8 389 kB (896 Frames).
Examples of some files: 14 kB (2 frames),
56 kB (12 frames), 163 kB (38 frames), 294 kB (59 frames), 66 kB (104
frames), 722 kB (137 frames). There is no direct relationship between the
number of frames and file size, this is variable and depends on frame to
frame changes in the images.
Above data is from an actual operating
system and is presented as a guide only, actual results in each situation
will vary considerably because of the numerous variables involved.
