New DVRs tout reliability, available in a number of channel configurations

Toshiba Security & Network Video debuted its new EVR ("Extreme Video Recorder") Series of DVRs boasting one of the the industry's most fault tolerant designs with redundant, field replaceable dual power supplies, maximum air flow dynamics, internal RAID 5 compatibility and field-upgradeable hard drives.

"As the security industry migrates towards digital video surveillance, DVR reliability has become an overriding concern for network administrators," said Sergio Collazo, National Sales & Marketing Manager, Toshiba Security & Network Video. "Our EVR Series recorders put these concerns to rest with their unequaled fault tolerant engineering, advanced feature package and the very latest in networking technologies."

Available in 8, 16, 32 and 64 channel configurations, Toshiba EVR Series DVRs are capable of recording at up to 480 pictures per second (up to 30 PPS per camera) at resolutions as high as 720x480 with up to 16 channels of audio. This capacity to support a large volume of cameras while delivering excellent image quality qualifies EVR recorders for enterprise class organizations, government agencies, multi-site businesses and other high-security recording applications.
