Mitsubishi DVR Health Check provides automated system for DVR maintenance
2008 ISC West Expo — LAS
VEGAS, Nevada, April 2, 2008 — Mitsubishi
Digital Electronics America’s Imaging Products
Division today presented its Automated DVR Health Check
solution for retail, financial and higher education
security installations.
Mitsubishi’s DVR Health Check software monitors
the status of all digital video recorders operating in
a given security system. The software routinely tests
the connectivity and recording status of all networked
DVR units while synchronizing with the organization’s
existing network time protocol. If an issue arises or
a loss of video signal occurs at any point, enterprise
health check software immediately alerts operators at
the Central Station.
In this way issues with DVRs on the system can be investigated
and repaired immediately. DVR downtime can result in
the loss of important surveillance footage, and up-to-date
health status is of critical importance—especially
for retailers and financial institutions.
“We developed DVR Health Check to take the guesswork
out of DVR maintenance,” said Jeff Kiuchi, product
specialist, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America Imaging
Products Division. “For organizations using multiple
DVRs for their security video, it’s a huge challenge
to check all the units individually. Our system eliminates
the need for constant monitoring and greatly reduces
the amount of time between failure and fix.”
DVR Health Check is just one of Mitsubishi’s customizable
solutions that combine to suit the unique requirements
of individual retailers and organizations. An entire system
can become a fully controlled network with features for
programming and changing settings on each DVR remotely.
With such a system, IT crews do not need to be onsite to
manage the units—a critical capability for stores
or companies with hundreds of locations.
