New six-channel Sony digital hard disc recorder adds live monitoring capabilitiesOctober 4, 2022by -- Sony of Canada Ltd., Canada's leading supplier ofelectronic and computer products for consumers and business, today introduced the new HSR-X206 multi-channel hard disk recorder, providing a drop-in digital closed circuit security system that adds real-time remote video monitoring and reviewing while providing greater flexibility and lower maintenance costs than analog time lapse VCRs. The Sony HSR-X206 digital hard disc recorder incorporates multiplexing capabilities that allow independent recording/monitoring of six cameras -- the built-in network interface provides up to four users remote monitoring of live video from all cameras over the network. "This addition to the HSR-X line of recorders adds additional choice and flexibility in the transition to digital by enhancing analog surveillance systems with IP video surveillance capabilities," said Carlos Varela, Product Manager, Surveillance Products, Broadcast Communication Solutions Group, Sony of Canada Ltd. "As the shift from analog to IP (Internet Protocol)-based digital systems continues gathering momentum, the HSR-X206 digital recorder provides a bridge to carry our analog customers forward, and extends the return on the installed base of analog equipment." The HSR-X206 digital recorder replicates the functions of a multiplexer and an analog time lapse VCR and delivers the benefits associated with digital HDD (hard disc drive) recordings -- clear, crisp, undistorted images with instantaneous random-access to them. The HSR-X206 digital recorder allows multi-camera viewing of all six camera feeds on a single monitor and features a smooth refresh when viewing multiple camera footage (a refresh rate of 30 frames per second for each image). The user has the option to record high resolution, high quality JPEG images of 720 X 240 pixels (NTSC) and can set five levels of picture quality: Hyper, Super, High, Middle and Low. To provide user-free operation, the large-capacity 320 GB (gigabyte) hard drive allows recording times ranging from 275 to 1,653 hours (11 to 69 days) of recording in highest quality Hyper Mode, and from 447 to 2,686 hours (18 to 112 days) in High Mode (with recording time decreasing as each camera is added). When the storage capacity is filled, the oldest recordings can be overwritten automatically. The HSR-X206 digital recorder also allows playback of recorded images without having to stop recording. Up to four users can simultaneously monitor and review images as well as control the system remotely over a TCP/IP network-connected to a personal computer through a standard Web browser. Image data can also be transferred and downloaded over a network. Three levels of password protection secure the system from unauthorized access. Flexibility and ease of operation make the HSR-X206 digital recorder simple to set up and run with intuitive, menu-driven access to the comprehensive recording and playback features. Alarm recording can be triggered internally by programmable activity detection, externally or both. Moreover, users can conduct a post-activity search on the recorded video by specifying activity grids on specific areas of the recorded image to allow faster search and access. Pre-alarm recording is also available. Timer recordings can also be activated on a weekly or daily basis. The programmed recording function allows up to four presets that specify camera inputs and recording rates for each camera and can be used in conjunction with the timer and alarm recording features. The intelligent search function provides five parameters (alarm, alarm thumbnail, time/date, archive area, and activity detection) to pinpoint crucial images for speedy review. The HSR-X206 digital recorder's HDD is divided into three segments -- normal recording, alarm recording and an archive. The data archive can be copied to various media through a built-in Compact Flash slot on the front panel. Other data security options include HDD mirroring and power failure protection. The HSR-X206 digital recorder will be available in October at a manufacturers suggested retail price (MSRP) of $3,625. Request For More Information Forward this release to a friend Back to list
