    You can't beat this mobile DVR for the price.... Many police departments have this unit installed and have been very happy with the product.
    there are many users, who are happy with KIA Sorento - e.g. Andre Agassi...

    however some users still buy ML from Mercedes or X5 from BMW...

    How fast of an Upload speed are you going to have for the DVR?

     

    If it is low, that will make the frame rate and the quality over the NET really poor. More cameras more bandwidth. Color, more bandwidth. Higher resolution, more bandwidth. You get the idea.

    ...and it is depended from the video compression...

     

    sometimes "low" means "1Mbps", sometimes "high" means "256Kbps"...

    hi all,

     

    just try it out:

    http://www.direx-pro.com/

     

    ID/password: 'test'/'test'

     

     

    ...and I'm not a fan of loading ANYTHING onto a computer just to view it via the web. it shouldintegrate without any special software installs, plugins, or tweaks. kiss

    Firefox works w/o additional DLL - you will get approx. 1 frame per 2 seconds and probably in poor quality (because push JPEG service) instead of 10-15 FPS with IE and our plugin, but it works:

    PS: please use 'Alt' + 'Cntr' + 'Del' (task manager) to display the network traffic...

    im not talking about privacy, im talking about IE allowing the installation of trojans and spyware, while FireFox does not ..
    But IE and FireFox support in different kind cgi-scripts and applets, therefore we had to make decision - IE looks like most popular and market stable browser.

    Although by using FireFox you will get a picture (push JPEG service - approx. 1 frame / 2sec instead 11-20fps via IE plug-in) but not full control functionality.

    Our company offers a special automotive DVR - DiREX-Pro.A30:

    [link edited]

    This small non-PC based DVR provides embedded web server and is accessible via any TCP/IP connection. It realizes the best video compression/quality ration (approx. 1-150kbps) available today and therefore is also perfect suitable for 3G/UMTS/GPRS (e.g. for emergency connection) or WLAN (e.g. revise needed data after vehicle returned) remote access.

     

    Under following URL it is possible to check the video quality and test necessary bandwidth:

    http://www.direx-pro.com

     

    For access to recorded data please use ID/password: "test"/"test"

    I have been asked to install CCTV inside a car. Does anybody know of a portable DVR which i could stick in the boot (robust hard drive!!!)....

    Taking the power from the car battery, 12V

    our DiREX-Pro.A30 can be a smart solution for you:

    - operation temperature range: -20...+65°C;

    - temperature gradient: 60° /hour;

    - high vibration stability...

    Hey Guys,

     

    PLEASE DON'T DEACTIVATE RECORDING - the "REC" button must be red.

    In this case the video server will be deactivated as well!

    This feature is useful for download speed-up.

     

    PS: by the way - after REC deactivation in about 1 hour it will be automatically activated...]

    Cool? can you switch it to english ..

     

    What kind of internet connection do you have? Its fast ..

    we use actually SDSL with 2048 kbps - to provide simultaneously live viewing AND download/viewing of recorded data...

    Therefore if you looking JUST for live transmitting 128 kbps upload speed is enough.

     

    It is possible to activate display of FPS, data rate, total rate (means video + audio), activity level etc.:

    right mouse button on video area -> "Show Msn Properties" -> "Subtitle options"....

    Designing a DVR system for a client who wants 4 cams recorded for minimum 4 months storage, and backed up in the event of drive crash.
    If you are looking for motion-controlled recording, our DIREX-Pro.R120 (2x60GB HDDs inside, release date: approx. August 2005) can be a nice solution for your application:

    http://www.bwa-technology.de/en/direx_pro/specif.html

     

    But generally due to low power consumption and special firmware procedures for extension of HDD’s durability, all our DiREX-Pro.xxx DVRs are really reliable unit as well.

     

    PS: 100GB means approx. 3-4 weeks UNINTERRUPTED recording from 4 cameras with about 1.5-2 fps/channel.

    Mpeg4 can use much less and be much faster, quality wont be as high as 100% Wavelet though, but more suitable for remote video, I get Real time transmission with MPEG4 on 384 up and down systems.
    our MPEG4 demo is on-line, just follow instructions:

    http://www.direx-pro.com

     

    12-16 fps with audio: approx. 90-120KB/s (right mouse click on video area to activate FPS & transfer rate display)

    @Rory

    Is it primarily a portable DVR?
    It is just a "small" device...

    e.g. it's possible to control (RS485) speed domes as well...

     

    All advantages here (PDF, 174KB):

    http://www.bwa-technology.de/download/direx_pro/dpro.40&a30.pdf

     

    Also, the temperatures are mostly for the cold/very hot areas right? We are basically luke warm here all the time (80-90 degrees Far.), except a little cold in the Jan/Feb months (60-70 degrees Far.).
    Only our DiREX-Pro.A30 is suitable for extended temperature range.

    For your region it looks like no so important, but by car usage (due to greenhouse effect) the environment temperature can rise...

    And really important think - how rapid (temperature gradient) the internal temperature drop after activation of the air conditioning control?...

     

    Ive been busy last few days on some coding, and just glanced at it quick.
    Do you mean "video coding"?

    The question is - how do you like to access the stored data?...

    By high compression codec it's possible to (if required automatically) download it via WiFi during garage visiting...

     

    How does it hold up in the vehicles, like we have tons of potholes here, as far as being used in a COP car or something like that?
    DiREX-Pro.A30 needs normally no any additional vibration protection - we use special automotive HDDs from Hitachi:

    http://www.hitachigst.com/portal/site/en/menuitem.7ac8dfe56eb1da5daa67bca4bac4f0a0/

     

    And we tested our devices by Paris-Dakar rally already:

    http://www.bwa-technology.de/download/direx_pro/paris_dakar.zip

    Fan-free operation makes it possible...

     

    Will you be getting any distributors in the US, and can you possibly PM me some dealer pricing on the 4 ch kit on starter minimum volume pricing?
    Because our devices are still not FCC proved and we have no any local US support, we offer our equipment at the moment to (suppliers) of governmental users only.

    Negotiations with some US CCTV players are underway and I hope in June/July we start to ship our NTSC products via OEM channels.

     

    Id also like to know what the network software is like, and if there is any SDK or ActiveX.
    Please refer this description:

    http://www.bwa-technology.de/download/direx_pro/dpro_progman.pdf

     

    An additional documentation will be available soon.

    Hi Guys,

     

    what about operation temperature range and allowed ambiance changing?

     

    DiREX-Pro.A30 (due to MPEG4-based video compression about 4-7% usage of 11Mbps WLAN traffic by live viewing):

    -5°F to 150°F by 108°F/hour

     

    just tested by Hitachi GST Europe (902KB):

    http://www.bwa-technology.de/download/direx_pro/dpro30a_trep.pdf

     

    PS: normally allowed: 40°F to 115°F by 36°F/hour
