1Ch realtime (25 fps) video/audio embedded DVR

December 2003 Surveillance, Logistics (Industry)

The E-COBRA1200 is a rugged single channel digital video and audio recorder for 12 V d.c. or portable applications. Its compact size and realtime video and audio recording make it ideal for covert surveillance applications or in-vehicle recording. Inside the E-COBRA1200 is a powerful video processor providing realtime recording and playback of video data with excellent image quality. The unit is standalone and allows playback without the need of a PC or special video player. Control is via the buttons on the front panel or via the wired RS232 remote control. The remote is useful in situations where the DVR is hidden in the rear of a vehicle and the user wants to start or stop recording.

The E-COBRA1200 uses a standard 3.5" PC HDD which is fitted inside a removable HDD bay. This allows the HDD to be easily replaced for a new recording or for archival purposes. Recording is done in a proprietary custom format which ensures its data integrity and means that it cannot be said to have been tampered with. The unit's HDD can be removed and backed up or reviewed on a standard PC using our PC HDD bay (E-COBRA-HDD-C) or USB HDD bay.

Its ability to endure extreme operating conditions makes it ideal for transport applications, like recording in police vehicles, buses, ambulances, tourist coaches, railroad trains, mass transit and public vehicles, as well as in severe industrial settings. The unit uses wavelet compression which aids in providing non-blocky, high quality, high speed video. All recorded video is watermarked and time/date stamped. Video can be played back at various speeds and images viewed frame-by-frame. An RS232 port is provided for uploading still images to a PC for storage/review or for controlling the functions of the unit.
