Piczel 7009 4-Channel Surveillance System - 1TB Hard Drive, 18.5” LED Monitor, 4 High-Res 600TVL Cameras 

A total coverage system with the latest technology

The new Piczel 7009 provides everything you need to connect and operate the plug-and-play components in the box. The 600 line high resolution cameras include professional quality imagers that generate video with exceptional detail. Images captured with all cameras are well reproduced on the 18.5" widescreen LED monitor with resolution settings that far exceed those of a typical CRT monitor. The dynamic contrast ratio keeps details from being lost in dark shadows or washed out with bright objects.

The four channel pentaplex DVR incorporates the latest dual stream H.264 video codec technology. Up to four times more video is stored on the same size hard drive as previous models. Piczel's dual stream video processing records the highest quality video possible to the hard drive while adjusting the image compression to optimize the DVR's internet transmission speed. Catch all of the action with global recording speeds up to 120 ips (30 ips per channel). Smartphone monitoring, e-mail with images, SMS text messaging with an image, or standard text only alarm notification messages provide maximum access and connectivity while you are on the move. The included Central Monitoring Station (CMS) Software gives you the ability to monitor up to 64 cameras on one PC screen (including all 4 from this DVR), with video streaming from multiple DVRs from the Piczel 5200 series, plus the 7007, 7011, and 7200 series systems.

Selectable grid video motion detection and fast event search

Video motion detection can be set to record activity to the hard drive, log the event in a list to simplify searches at a future date, and send an e-mail with an attached image of what just happened. To make the video motion detection more accurate and useful, a 13 column by 10 row grid of squares is displayed over each camera view during the motion detection setup process (see the included graphic with the product photos). With 130 small squares superimposed on a camera's view, you can select each square that you choose to be active, triggering an alarm event when there is activity in front of the square. By the same process, you can deactivate any square that lies in an area of known activity that would cause a false alarm, such as a pathway for a pet, or a public access area.

Database like storage of video files make retrieval of events a snap. Drill down your searches by date, time, camera, and event type to quickly find the information you are looking for. Play the event or click on to save your selected video to a flash (thumb) drive. While reviewing events from the DVR via the internet, you can easily save the data file to your computer. You can also take a quick snapshot or record live streaming to your PC as you see it happen! Alpha-numeric on-screen titles can be generated for each channel making identification of the source location much easier. 16 external alarm contact inputs add to the flexibility of how events are recorded and alarm e-mail notifications are sent, including the all new Piczel Video Temp Alert (Sam's # 244398). This exclusive accessory displays the temperature of your home or business's monitored area on a cameras video, and triggers the DVR's e-mail feature when there is a problem with heating, cooling, refrigeration units, etc.

Intuitive menus and controls

Colorful on-screen graphics and descriptive icons make navigation of the menus and control of the DVR very intuitive and easy to use. A PC type mouse allows you to quickly click and drag over schedules, motion detection grids, and on-screen DVR controls. An IR remote control is also included for ease of operation. Pentaplex capability allows you to view live video, record all channels, play back selected channels, connect via the internet, and back up a file all at the same time. Motorized Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) cameras, such as the Piczel 3500 series can be controlled with the mouse, IR remote, PC, or via free mobile phone apps. Timed, motion detection, and "NO" recording can be scheduled for any hour of any day for each camera, giving you total control over what to record, and when. Back up or copy video files quickly to a flash drive via a USB 2.0 port, or to a PC via the internet. Generate your own private password to access all data and functions, or user passwords that offer limited access.

Cameras with 600 line imagers and mechanical IR cut filters

A stylish cast aluminum weatherproof case, infrared illuminated night vision and high resolution video are all included in the color bullet cameras. A 600 line high resolution imager is combined with a true mechanical cut IR filter. The filter is automatically placed in front of the image sensor during daylight hours to filter out unwanted infrared light that affects the color hue of the image. During night time operation, the filter is moved away from the image sensor to allow viewing of objects being illuminated by the 30 IR LEDs. The imager and LEDs are optically isolated as both items are housed in their own compartments, holding IR reflection and halo effect to a minimum. Typical IR range produces facial recognition at 25 feet and general surveillance in excess of 80 feet for reflective surfaces. The cast aluminum swivel mount allows for precise viewing angle adjustment and houses the video power cable for additional security and cosmetic appeal. The camera is weatherproof for use outdoors, however installation under an eave, soffit, or awning is recommended.
