Argus Surveillance DVR was designed as a universal application for security hybrid platforms working in the same time with wireless and wired IP cameras, TV-boards, capture cards, power-line, and USB cameras.

Argus Surveillance DVR has web interface with the same look and functionality on the local and remote computers. Users have full control of the program through network that surveillance computer can be operated with no monitor, keyboard, and mouse connected.

Program's modular structure significantly increases reliability because all modules act as independent applications. If one module fails, other modules continue running. For example if the "capture" module freezes, "watchdog" restarts it immediately that viewers don't notice anything because they are watching video using a "playback" module.

Argus Surveillance DVR performs "cyclic" recording that the "disk full" situation never occurs. The recording can be non-stop or it can be activated by motion, audio activity, sensor, or by schedule. Duration of pre alarm recording can be configured up to 60 sec. and there is no limit for duration of post alarm recording.

Playing back recorded video is pretty simple and performs on the surveillance computer as well as on remote computer through Web interface.

Argus Surveillance DVR performs synchronized video playback for event analysis from multiple cameras simultaneously. Also recorded data can be searched by date, time or by sensor event. All recorded data can be encrypted and password protected.
