Vista (www.vista-cctv.com), the UK’s premier brand of CCTV equipment, has announced that the new Vista Solo™ Digital Video Recorder (DVR) is compatible with the vast majority of industry-leading multiplexers. "No other DVR can match the Vista Solo™ in terms of market compatibility and affordability", said Mark Pritchard, Divisional Director of Vista.

The Vista Solo™ DVR is the world’s first truly viable digital replacement for the traditional VCR. As easy to use as a VCR, the Vista Solo™ eliminates all the drawbacks traditionally associated with its VCR predecessor - lengthy tape searches, time-consuming and unreliable tape management, problematic tape storage and security, and degraded images – whilst at the same time providing digital quality images and powerful digital search functionality.

"Market compatibility was a key development driver for the Vista Solo", says Mark Pritchard. "We wanted to introduce a unit that could instantly be plugged into an existing user’s CCTV installation without creating knock on implications that might incur the end user additional expense or even ask them to question the value of migrating to digital recording. We believe no other single channel DVR scores as highly on market compatibility as the Vista Solo™ and that this will prove decisive in the unit becoming Europe’s leading single channel DVR."

A simple replacement to a user’s existing VCR, migrating to the Vista Solo™ has no impact on the rest of a user’s existing CCTV installation. Compatible with all leading multiplexers, the Vista Solo™ includes VEXT output for easy multiplexer integration.

Offering recording speeds of up to 50 images per second, the Vista Solo™ delivers high quality images the match of any sophisticated DVR.  When recording in a comparable 24Hr time-lapse mode (5 pictures per second), the Vista Solo™ provides 7 days, 17 hours of storage to its internal hard drive. Recordings are saved to a single 80GB removable hard drive, supplied as standard. By purchasing an additional hard drive, users can switch their hard drives on a routine weekly basis to ensure continuous recording at 5pps. The unit works with quad, multiplexer, switcher, matrix or single camera applications.

Designed to meet the specific requirements of users’ replacing an existing analogue VCR with a digital one, the Vista Solo™ is one of the easiest to use DVRs available on the market today. The unit features straightforward operation time lapse, alarm and scheduled record modes with one button searches and simple on screen menus to quickly retrieve recordings by date, time or alarm. Other functions include fast forward and reverse functions, password protection, overwrite protection, HDD full and the ability to schedule variable record rates for both record speed and image quality, depending on day of week and time of day.

The Vista Solo™ is the ideal solution for existing CCTV applications that would otherwise replace an existing faulty or worn out traditional TL VCR machine with a new one. Equally, the Vista Solo™ is suitable for all new single channel users of CCTV. This includes all small to medium sized retail, warehousing, office and commercial premises.

The Vista Solo™ is available with Vista’s highly regarded 5-year product warranty (excludes hard disk).
