QC444-5 4 Channel Surveillance DVR with pre-installed 500 GB HD
Deter theft, know your family is secure, or even monitor your office staff more effectively, with the QC444-5 surveillance system, which makes home and business security simple. The system can be fitted with up to 4 cameras simultaneously, and it features both CIF and D1 recording options: choose smooth continuous video with a smaller image size or a slower frame rate with a larger image.

Gain peace of mind while you are away by remotely monitoring and managing this surveillance system 24/7 via the internet using a PC, MAC or a supported 3G smart phone. Plus you can receive instant email notifications when unusual activity is detected.


RECORDING RESOLUTION
The QC444 surveillance system captures video in CIF real-time providing smooth video playback at 30 frames per second per channel at a playback resolution of 352x240. Whereas, D1 provides a slower frame per second, but displays a larger video image for improved recognition of people and objects (7.5 frames per second per channel at a playback resolution of 704x480).

HARD DRIVE SIZE
Record and store video footage on the pre-Installed 500 Gigabyte SATA A/V Rated hard drive. The amount of footage that you can save on the hard drive before needing to over-write footage will depend on the recording and resolution settings you select during setup. This system can support 1 SATA hard drive up to 2 Terabytes.

REMOTE SURVEILLANCE
Stay in touch on the go! Remotely monitor and manage your home or office 24/7 from anywhere around the world via the internet. Enjoy additional peace of mind by receiving instant email alerts with snapshot images when motion is detected, when the hard drive is full, or when and if video loss has occurred. Up to 10 users can remotely log into the DVR at the same time and dual-stream technology allows for easier internet access with lower bandwidths.

DISPLAY RESOLUTION
When watching video live, the display resolution is 704x480. When playing back previously recorded video, the resolution will depend on the recording settings selected during setup (see CIF/D1 recording resolution for more information). MULTI-TASKING FUNCTIONALITY
The multi-tasking feature allows up to five functions to occur on the system at one time: record video, watch live video or playback video, while also monitoring and managing the system remotely, and also backing up files. FOUR RECORDING MODES
Select from 4 different recording modes:
Advanced Motion Detection: Advanced motion detection settings help to minimize false alarms. The easy-to-use motion detection set-up screen allows you to mask out certain areas which frequently experience heavy movement in order to avoid false alarms and unnecessary triggers.
Time-Schedule: Record based on a pre-set schedule that you choose depending on your needs. For example, only at night, only during office hours or only during non-business hours.
Manual: When set to manual, the system can be turned on to record 24 hours a day, 7 days a week or until you manually turn it off.

CONVENIENT BACKUP
Backup video files from the surveillance system to a PC, Flash Drive or USB Hard Drive in order to free-up space for new video while retaining important footage.

THREE SEARCH OPTIONS
Quickly find previously recorded video by searching in one of three ways:
Time: search video within a specific time frame
Motion Detection Event: search video by occurrences of motion
Alarm Triggered Event: search video by items that triggered an alert
H.264 COMPRESSION
H.264 Compression minimizes file size in order to maximize the hard drive’s recording time, as well as transfer video for viewing over the internet. CONNECT MONITOR
