New DVR from Seon features advanced capabilities
The DX12 facilitates better incident management through dual streaming technology. Dual streaming technology records two video streams, one lower-resolution stream for viewing over a cell phone network, and one high-resolution stream for playback on a PC.
[IMAGE]Seon-resize-2.jpg[/IMAGE]The new Explorer DX12 digital recorder from Seon Design Inc. features a high resolution and frame-rate combination and delivers high quality images with advanced video storage technology (H.264).
The system offers 12 channels with the ability to simultaneously record 30 frames-per-second at 720 x 480 resolution on all channels, and dual hard drives provide double the recording capacity of conventional DVRs, according to Seon.
The DX12 facilitates better incident management through dual streaming technology. Dual streaming technology records two video streams, one lower-resolution stream for viewing over a cell phone network, and one high-resolution stream for playback on a PC.
The DX12 includes an inertia sensor, which logs and displays G-force data, allowing system administrators to monitor driver behavior including speed, turning, signals, braking and idling. The system also provides incident alerts, giving transportation authorities the opportunity to respond to events instantly.
In combination with vMax Commander video management software, Seon's automated Health-Check feature monitors DVR and hard drive status. The system will notify the administrator of any issues, ensuring that all onboard events are captured. Supported features include geo-fencing, which allows the administrator to designate a
geographic boundary and receive notification if a vehicle deviates.
Easy-to-use software allows transportation authorities to track vehicles and retrieve key details about an incident using video footage synchronized with mapping software.
