Analytics on board
AcuSense Motion Detection 2.0 classifies human/vehicle events on analogue channels to cut false triggers. Perimeter protection (line crossing, intrusion) runs on all 8 analogue channels, and facial detection/recognition is available on 4 of them. AcuSearch speeds up event review by filtering for these classifications directly.
Fit for the job
Two-way audio runs via the first analogue audio input, useful where a single audio-enabled entry point is needed. Video outputs cover HDMI (4K/30 Hz) and VGA simultaneously, and the 16-channel IP headroom leaves room to scale a site beyond its initial analogue camera count without swapping the recorder.
