The digital recorder is suitable for small applications, and because the unit is small and compact, it can be used for mobile video recording applications. It can be installed into trucks or cars with covert cameras to record driver activities and truck consignments.

Access to the video footage is gained through a standard Internet browser from a PC workstation on the LAN or WAN. With the ISDN facility the recorder can be accessed remotely to view factories, shops and petrol stations after hours.
