Mitsubishi hardware and software modules combine to create
customized packages designed to meet any security need
2008 ISC West Expo — LAS
VEGAS, Nevada, April 2, 2008 — Mitsubishi
Digital Electronics America’s Imaging Products
Division today presented its integrated, customizable
security solutions with applications across multiple
industries including retail, financial, higher learning
and home monitoring.
Mitsubishi’s customizable solutions combine different
modules to suit the unique requirements of individual
retailers and organizations. Modules offered include
Central Station Alarm Monitoring, Automated DVR Health
Check and Point of Sale Monitoring. Individual modules
may be mixed and matched, customized and tailored to
any organization’s specific needs. In addition,
storage expansion units are available to increase the
capacity of Mitsubishi’s industry-leading DVR units.
With Mitsubishi’s Central
Station Alarm Monitoring, Mitsubishi DVRs integrate seamlessly
with existing alarm systems. When an alarm sounds, images
automatically appear in the central monitoring station
with a split screen of live video along with archived
video, allowing immediate review of any security concern.
This system is vital for any market that utilizes central
stations—such
as large retailers, banks or home monitoring centers.
Mitsubishi’s Automated DVR Health Check software
monitors the status of all the DVRs in use across a given
system, checking connectivity and recording status while
synchronizing with the organization’s network time
protocol. The enterprise health check software alerts
operators at the Central Station to any loss of video
signal. In this way, an operator can investigate and
repair immediately rather than losing recording capabilities
for extended periods.
Mitsubishi also offers options for increased storage,
allowing users to build up to the level of storage they
need. New DX-ZD6UE expansion units add up to 1.5 terabytes
of extra storage to existing DVR capacity, and 14 units
may be connected to a single DVR for a total of 21 additional
terabytes of space. By a creating a cascading system
of 16 Mitsubishi DX-TL5000U DVRs—each with the
maximum number of expansion units—users can gain
an industry-leading 368 terabytes of total storage.
For retailers especially the benefits are compelling.
Mitsubishi DVR models work with a multitude of security
cameras regardless of brand, type or location. Point
of Sale cameras, loss prevention cameras and security
cameras can all be integrated into the same system. In
custom applications, POS images can be matched with the
data from any particular point of sale, allowing users
to enter transaction numbers into the system, immediately
pulling up the matching video.
An entire system, in effect, 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 companies with hundreds of locations.
Mitsubishi software allows remote selection of video
and recording options, motion detection and other features
across the network, giving a specific location not only
remote viewing capabilities but full access to any of
the hundreds of DVRs and their thousands of recorded
camera images. If desired, authorization codes can be
granted to designated operators for access to certain
images while administrators retain total global access
to all images from any location they choose.
Mitsubishi is dedicated to providing the very best
in digital security products across a wide range of industries,
and we realize that security needs can differ greatly from
organization to organization,” said Jeff Kiuchi,
product specialist, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America
Imaging Products Division. “Mitsubishi offers a wide
range of solutions that can be customized for any need,
all while providing the very best features, options and
the highest potential storage capacity in the industry.”
