Las Vegas, NV (April 15, 2015) – Digital Watchdog (DW™), the industry leader in digital recorders, surveillance cameras and related management software, announces our new AHD (Analog High Definition) products. The VMAX AHD CORE™ DVR and STAR-LIGHT AHD™ Cameras offering 1080P images and recording are being demonstrated at the ISC West Exhibition, April 15-17, 2015, in Las Vegas, Nevada, Booth 25089. Digital Watchdog AHD user-friendly high definition solutions have been engineered to utilize an existing analog structure, increasing ROI while reducing installation time and complexity to provide an HD surveillance solution in minutes.
“Last year, Digital Watchdog was pleased to bring megapixel resolution to the analog market with our STAR-LIGHT MPA™ cameras,” said Wade Thomas, President, Digital Watchdog. “With these AHD 1080p products, the megapixel value proposition is easily available using existing coax.”
As the surveillance market transitions to network IP solutions, Digital Watchdog understands that small businesses may opt out of expensive upgrades and chose to keep their analog solution.
Groundbreaking STAR-LIGHT AHD High Definition Cameras use existing coaxial cables to transmit crystal-clear detailed 1080p images. AHD technology leverages the robustness of analog signal infrastructure for a seamless upgrade to the details and clarity of 1080p high definition resolution. The cameras offer 2.1MP resolution and powerful features such as P-Iris Lens, Double Shutter Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) and True Day/Night with Mechanical IR Cut Filter.
The STAR-LIGHT AHD Cameras are engineered to work with VMAX AHD DVRs, offering an easy upgrade from analog to high definition surveillance using existing infrastructure for a cost-effective, high resolution surveillance solution. The VMAX AHD CORE™ is a digital video recorder that offers real-time HD monitoring and recording at 1080p (1920X1080) and up to 60fps. It uses AHD signals that allow customers to use existing coaxial cable infrastructure while providing an unparalleled image quality (up to 1640ft (500m) using RG59 cables). The VMAX AHD DVR offers free DDNS, Event Push notifications via mobile app, 1 Audio Input and Output, 4 Sensor Inputs and 1 Alarm Output, all controlled from the popular VMAX™ user interface.
