March 22, 2005, Spokane WA -
OpenEye Inc. announced today its plans
to introduce a new series of High Definition Digital Recorders featuring
support for a combination of digital network and traditional analog video
sources. The new “Hybrid” lineup will be capable of recording audio and
video from up to 16 independent network video devices simultaneously.
The ability to record digital video over a LAN, WAN, or the Internet provides
integrators with a new level of flexibility in designing custom video surveillance
and management systems. Digital video from a variety of offsite locations may now
be recorded cost effectively by leveraging an existing network infrastructure.
OpenEye’s Hybrid ready HDDR’s will initially support network cameras manufactured
by Toshiba and AXIS. Support for additional manufacturers is expected in a forthcoming
software update currently scheduled for July 15, 2005.
OpenEye also unveiled a Hybrid platform upgrade and migration path for previously
deployed HDDR’s. All systems manufactured after November of 2002 will be upgradeable
by software to support at least 4 channels of network video recording.
“We are pleased that our new Hybrid platform will provide end users with a seamless
migration path from analog to a fully networked video system.” said Brent Gable,
OpenEye’s National Sales Manager. “Our new Hybrid technology is going to make network
video recording and management a reality for a large number of organizations in terms
of functionality, performance, and cost.”
OpenEye Hybrid ready HDDR’s are scheduled to begin
shipping June 1, 2005.
