Monitor up to 8 Zones
Monitor up to eight areas in and around your home or business including exterior doorways, foyers and hallways, the garage, and more. It has a VGA port and an HDMI port that allows for real-time monitoring. What’s more, the RET2001 records video at up to 30 fps while using H.264 video compression technology for up to 1080p resolution.
Compression Compatibility
The RET2001 supports H.264, MPEG-4, and MJPEG video compression formats. H.264 is a high performing video compression standard that boasts a much higher compression ratio than others, drastically reducing file sizes and conserving valuable network bandwidth and storage space. With up to 90% reduction in file size, 1 MB image can be drastically reduced to as low as 10KB
PoE (Power over Ethernet)
Setup is a snap as IP cameras can be connected to the NVR via standard Ethernet connections. Known as PoE (Power over Ethernet), this type of connection carries power to the camera as well as passing video signals back to the recorder. PoE camera systems are ideal for installations where longer cable runs are required. In fact, this NVR features 5 integrated 100M PoE+(802.3at) interfaces and supports a PoE transmission distance of up to 300 meters. Plus, digital IP cameras offer high-resolution recording, so they're ideal when details like facial recognition are important.
8Mbps per Stream!
Your 3MP network cameras are constantly transferring a ton of data. That’s why we made sure this NVR had enough power to handle all of you HD streams. With the ability to record 8 full 8Mbps streams at up to 1080p, you’ll be getting the most out of your IP cameras.
Highly Configurable Recording
This NVR can be programmed to record at scheduled times, or when triggered by motion detection. Recording quality is adjustable, with six selectable settings to choose from. Use higher quality settings for better video clarity and detail, or lower settings for more recording time.
Video Playback
When you’re ready to play back recordings, you can search by time, type, or channel. Videos can be played back at normal speed, fast play, slow play, manual frame-by-frame playback, and reverse play. You can switch to the previous or next file, or any file in the current play list. If there are files from another channel recorded at the same time, you can immediately switch to that file. In addition, all-channel synchronous real-time playback is available.
Talkback
Let the people on the other end know you're listening with Talkback. Available through the included software or Internet Explorer, this feature is great for warehouses, safe rooms, gated entrances, separate buildings, or anywhere you'd need to talk to the person on the other end.
Remote Viewing
Whether you’re a business owner or simply a caring parent, real-time viewing is vital. But, there’s a problem—you can’t always be there. This NVR lets you watch everything, no matter where you are. With a network connection, you can live monitor on a PC as a web viewer, or as part of a CMS (central management system). In addition, you can perform video recording searches remotely, and control the pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ) action on compatible cameras.
Dynamic DNS Service
Dynamic DNS service allows you to quickly and easily set up your own unique domain name that accesses your NVR from an internet browser. If you're worried about your business's constantly- changing IP address, stop fretting. This service captures your home or business's IP address and automatically syncs it with a central server. So when the IP address changes, your unique domain name always points to your home or business.
Motion Detect & Alarm
If you need to save space on your NVR and don't want to record 24/7, use the motion sensor feature to record only when motion is detected. In addition, the included software's alarm trigger alerts you when there is motion detection, video loss, a hard disk error, the hard disk is full, or if the network is disconnected.
Dedicated Recording Triggers
This NVR has the ability to record based on external triggers from security/safety systems or dedicated sensors. This is optimal for those times that you need to save hard drive space while still being able to record any conspicuous activity.
Thousands of Hours of Storage
This unit includes a built-in 1TB HDD (hard disk drive) that gives you thousands of hours of storage. You can even expand the capacity of the NVR by installing an additional SATA HDD (up to 4TB) in the available slot on the front panel. Up to two SATA HDDs can be used with the RET2001.
Backup
There’s plenty of important footage that you simply can’t lose. The RET2001’s provided USB ports allow you to backup your HDD to ensure that your recordings aren’t lost. You can use a flash drive, portable HDD, or a disk burner. You can even perform backup to the cloud via network download for off-site storage.
ONVIF Conformance
ONVIF are specifications set forth with the objective of creating a global standard for the security industry. This NVR supports the ONVIR framework by which like devices and software can communicate and integrate seamlessly with each other, making it much simpler to pair surveillance devices with this unit.
