BX2
Continuous Archive
16 camera, high performance digital multiplex recorder
 The BX2 is a high-performance 16-camera digital multiplex recorder capable of 100pps (PAL) record rate or 120(PPS) NTSC. The advanced record schedule allows the user to individually programme each camera record priority giving greater flexibility
to either assign a higher record rate to specific cameras on alarm, or configure cameras in high sensitivity areas to record more frequently.
Standard units contain 4 hard-drives providing up to 1.2TB storage, or four months high quality, continuous digital recording*. A high reliability Continuous Archive unit is also available that provides RAID 1 fault-tolerance to disk failure. Where more than four months storage is required, the Continuous Archive unit allows archive disks to be hot-swapped without affecting recording, enabling continuous archiving for as long as the application demands. All hard disk recording has a digital signature applied for evidential purposes, and is accessible to the user at the touch of one button or via powerful GOTO and event preview facilities. Images can be copied to the internal CD-R for play back on a PC.
BX2 provides the ideal platform for digital system integration. Built-in network video transmission, including bandwidth limitation offers matrix-style multiple user network viewing and control. The remote keyboard can be used to control up to 256 cameras, with an integral multi-directional joystick delivering swift, seamless control of leading manufacturers domes.

VIDEO MOTION SEARCH FACILITY
Allows the user to search through the units hard-disk recordings for movement in a particular area of the image. The unit is then able to search back through the hard-drive and create a list of activities for the user to view and archive as required. Searching can also be filtered to limit the search to user-defined times and dates.
RECORDING
Playback and record to hard disk simultaneously
Hard disk sizes are rapidly increasing in capacity. Please contact customer services or DM web site, for latest available disk size configurations for BX2.
At time of press the maximum internal storage for standard BX2 is 1.2TB, providing 4 months of digital recordings at a factory default setting of 6PPS with 18KB file size. The maximum internal storage for Continuous Archive BX2 is 1.2TB configured as 600GB of RAID1 protected storage, providing 2 months of digital recordings at default settings.
Event partition:
Separate area on disk can be defined to extend the storage time of alarms and events.
The event partition area in Gigabytes (GB) is configured by the installer and overwrites itself when full.
The system can be configured to protect images permanently from being overwritten when the global alarm is activated. The end user can also manually configure sections of recorded images to be permanently protected from overwrite, and remove permanent protection.
EXTERNAL RAID DEVICES
We recommend that only DM approved external RAID devices should be used with the BX2 range
Please contact Technical Support in your region for further information on recommended devices or visit the web site at

TIMED EXPIRY
Timed expiry option allows images to be held for a selected number of days.
Images on the disk which are older than the number of days selected are not accessed.
EVENT COPYING
Images, event sequences, audio from camera 1 and user defined recorded sequences can be saved to the units internal CD-R. The CD containing video sequences and the images themselves are digitally signed for authentication purposes. Playback of images from the CD is via a standard CD ROM drive. The CD playback software will auto-run and does not require the installation of software on the users PC. |
DIGITAL SIGNATURE
The use of digital signatures makes it possible to detect whether single image or a sequence of images has been tampered with.
