This recorder facilitates to confi gure a monitoring system for constant surveillance. Realizing long-term recording By reducing the size of recorded video data using the newly developed video compression engine (MEPG 4 system), the writing capacity of HDD can be saved about 50% (compared with our conventional models). In addition, this recorder is designed to connect external HDD to expand its HDD capacity up to 8 TB (when using optionally available DX-ZD6UE). Due to this, you can construct a long-term recording system to store data for 2 years, for example. Simple operation and USB mouse connectable By connecting a separately available USB mouse to the serial bus terminal on the recorder, you can easily control the recorder and setting menus.

XGA output terminal integrated (DX-TL308E only) You can connect a general PC display monitor to this terminal to use it as a surveillance monitor. Motion detection search function By designating certain areas such as doors and windows shown in recorded images as detection target areas, you can search for recorded data containing scenes having variation (or motion) in those areas and display the beginning of such data. This function is useful, for example, in searching for intruders into deserted places or scenes where someone painted graffi ti on the wall. Personal information protection function By setting passwords, you can classify the recorder operations into 3 levels. You can set a password for deleting data from HDD to protect them from unauthorized access or to use this function as misuse prevention.
