Dedicated Micros (DM) is the world’s leading manufacturer of Digital Video Multiplex Recorders (DVRs) for security applications. Fine-tuned by more than 20 years experience in the CCTV business, globally DM equipment now records more than five million images every second of every day, installed in some of the most prestigious and security conscious locations. The technological developments pioneered by DM have formed many of the building blocks for the success of today’s CCTV industry; the company’s founder Mike Newton being credited with the invention of the first commercially available CCTV video multiplexer. A catalogue of prestigious awards also reflects DM’s dedication to innovation and excellence. Product portfolio Today DM is able to offer a wide range of DVRs, from the entry level Eco4 for the simplest of installations, to the professional BX2 Continuous Archive, which allows users to remove a copy of all recorded images stored in the machine instantaneously without interrupting the recording process. The benchmark Digital Sprite 2 has rightly earned the reputation as the de facto industry standard against which all other DVRs are judged, and the latest DV-IP family of networked components takes large system security to another level. Despite the diversity of these offerings, every member of the product portfolio shares certain key technologies and a consistent design philosophy. Data Integrity Of the small number of CCTV images used during an investigation, even fewer ever find their way into a court of law as evidence in a prosecution. However, for those that do, their authenticity must be guaranteed. All DM DVRs employ sophisticated digital signature technology such that the recorded images, and the associated audio and meta-data information, cannot be tampered with without detection. |

Continuous Innovation The history of DM, has been one of market leading advances in the world of CCTV, the CCTV multiplexer was only the start. Currently, areas of development include video indexing and searching mechanisms, intelligent video analysis and IP connectivity, most importantly, reflected in the latest DV-IP product range. Continuing investment in new technology, ease of installation and use continue to remain at the very much at the heart of DM’s success. With some simpler products, all that may be required is to connect the cameras and switch on the power. Never Stop Recording Of the billions of images captured by CCTV cameras every year only a handful are reviewed during an investigation. The problem, however, is that criminal behaviour is rarely predictable, and it is impossible to know beforehand which images will prove to be crucial. For this reason, all DM recorders are designed to make recording their top priority, and this key principle is reflected time and again throughout every product. For example, even when simultaneously viewing live images, searching for specific events and archiving data to an external CD-R, recording of new images will continue unaffected. The internal architecture is based on a purpose designed, real-time, embedded core, rather than a modified PC, for maximum reliability and immunity from virus attack. DM’s network Servers contain local storage to ensure that the recording process can continue uninterrupted even in the event of a network failure. RAID options are also available to support the construction of fault tolerant systems.
