Full-featured DVR offers full resolution storage, easily integrated design

Are you still watching stop-motion or slow-motion monitoring video? To fulfill the increasing demand for high quality image monitoring of surveillance products that can be applied in network, QNAP Systems, Inc. has released the high standard MPEG-4 surveillance server-VioGate-340. Differed from general DVR products, QNAP VioGate-340 adopts 4 sets of hardware MPEG-4 compression chip. Each channel supports resolution level of up to 720x480 (Full-D1) which can help clearly identify the face of moving persons and car plate. Each channel can transfer 30 FPS instant image via the network with quality comparable to DVD. VioGate-340 is the only powerful DVR model that supports Full-D1 resolution, 30 FPS, smooth and clear image monitoring in the current market.

VioGate-340 is particularly suitable for integration in large-scale surveillance and can be widely used in hospitals, ports, schools and all convenient store chains. Traditional surveillance system is hard to implement and manage in cross regions, particularly for convenience store chains which run 24x7 and needs long-term uninterrupted video recording. VioGate-340 supports up to 1TB storage capacity and smart recording technology to optimize disk space for saving video files. The head monitoring center can access and view the images of all cameras in thousands of convenience stores anytime. In case of robbery, VioGate-340 can trigger GPIO alert to activate alarm and send SMS to the mobile phone of the store manager immediately. Other managers of the store chain can view real-time condition of the attacked store by accessing to the network. The excellent video quality of VioGate-340 enables clear image and identification of human face, wear and car plate, which can be strong evidence of any accidents and serves as an effective warning to prevent crime. In event like poisoned energy drink Bullwild happened earlier in Taiwan, recorded images in all stores can be played back to filter all suspects in the shortest time when VioGate-340 is implemented. VioGate-340 combines network DVR application and is the only model that supports surveillance in cross-regions to provide complete protection. VioGate-340 inherits embedded Linux technology adopted by QNAP which is highly reliable and well-protected from virus. The server can be easily installed in a few steps. With the graphic web administration interface, the server can be easily managed by IE browser to enhance flexible and efficient control. VioGate-340 supports two 500GB hard disks at maximum that the storage capacity is up to 1TB. With MPEG-4 efficient compression, storage time for recording data can be largely lengthened. In addition to local hard disk, VioGate-340 also enables saving recording data to remote NAS via network, PC or server installed with Windows OS, or FTP set up by various OS. VioGate-340 provides a backup storage path which will be active automatically when the primary storage is not detected. Remote NAS and local hard disk can be set as backup storage path to ensure data consistency and protect system against data loss. The brand new Smart Recording function provided by QNAP enables automatic adjustment of bit rate and frame rate. When no motion occurs, VioGate-340 will decrease bit rate and frame rate automatically to reduce MPEG-4 compression and save storage space. VioGate-340 is built-in with 4 GPIO connectors that can be integrated with other systems like POS, door control, ATM machine or other sensors and switches. They can also accept alert input, e.g. emergency button, infrared sensor, vibration sensor to trigger recording and snapshot taking, send SMS to cellular phone, display event alert on web administration page, and send various alerts to other system. When multiple VioGate-340 servers are implemented for large and dispersed area monitoring, the central monitoring software-VioGate Master can be used to monitor thousands of cameras in different areas by a PC. Live video can be viewed anytime anywhere via the network. VioGate Master can centralize control and configuration of all VioGate-340 features, providing administrator and user extra convenience particularly for dispersed and large-scale monitoring. VioGate Master also supports multi-channel monitoring, from single channel to 40-channel, as well as dual screen viewing, powerful graphic-control E-MAP function. QNAP VioGate-340 is definitely a powerful utility for integrated surveillance.QNAP VioGate-340 Product Features
