Company "ByteErg" has informed, that its line of digital video registrars has replenished with new models of the Professional and Hi-End classes. They are 4-channel video registrars BestDVR-401A and BestDVR-400Real.

The Model BestDVR-400Real is a new product in its class as it is the first 4-channel video registrar of real time and with high resolution. It is a prototype of the popular BestDVR-801Real, BestDVR-1600Real and differs from them only in that in this model there are only 4 video and the audio channels. All advantages of the given product line, i.e. archive capacity of up to 6 Tbyte, high quality of record, intellectual detection, a Web-server and others, are kept in this device.

Video registrar BestDVR-401A has come to replace the device BestDVR-400A. In the new model the principle of "4 videochannels + 4 audiochannels + a network" was preserved. Its new features are:

• A Web-server,
• An opportunity of installation Mobil-Rack readable on the personal computer,
• CD-DVD-R,
• The intellectual detector,
• An opportunity of record of archive up to 3 Tbyte,
• Controlling, including by using a mouse.

The main distinctive feature of the novelties is that both of them are supported by the uniform client software CMS (central monitoring station). It allows constructing distributed systems of video observation based on the BestDVR equipment with the uniform control center. Thus, there is still the opportunity to use in observation zones of various importance video registrars with that quantity of channels, and also record and translation in to network speed that are actually necessary.

The issues of security and safety of museum funds have begun to be risen to discussion still more often both by the public, and by professionals of the museum community. Heads of the majority of museums "give the alarm", trying to draw the attention of the authorities to the problems that they have to face and to create worthy conditions of storage and demonstration of collections.

Installation of monitoring systems of access control and video observation is a feature of high priority for the solution of security issues of a museum. The Taganrog state literary and historic-architectural memorial estate has a manifold repository collection. It includes archeologic and natural-historic monuments, photo and documents, manuscript books, antiquarian and especially valuable editions, subjects of an applied art and private life, a numismatic collection, products from precious metal, etc.

Absence of any means of protection as well as a desire to provide security of a rich collection have forced the Management of the reserve museum to have a video observation system installed.

As well as for the majority of similar cases experts have offered a system of video observation “VideoInspector”. Having learned about conditions of creation of system, company management ISS also has decided to give free of charge the complete set of "VideoInspector Professional" for installation in the Taganrog state museum reserve.

Cameras of video observation have been established in the funds repository (including the "Rare book" storehouse), in some halls. The workplace for monitoring was organized for the inspector on duty.

Now the organization of video monitoring allows avoiding the constant detours, enabling continuous supervision over all premises and territory. The video archive formed by the system can be useful for an investigation of possible incidents. Presence of special forms and dialogue windows for information search, adjustments of modes of video reproduction and recording and the clear user interface have all allowed employees of a museum to master quickly all opportunities of work with the system.

Equipment installation on railroad transport objects by security systems continues on the Astrakhan railroad. Within the framework of the long-term investment program "Anti-terror" a number of projects directed toward an increase in the anti-terrorist protection and security of the objects of infrastructure were realized by JSC "RZHD".

Within the framework of the “Anti-terror” program in 2007 extensive repairs and modernization of systems of video observation as well as of perimeter signal systems on protected railway bridges through the rivers is taking place: on Volga, the Straight and Curve Bolda, Akhtuba. Their operation will allow carrying out the visual control over the situation on the bridges, in their protected zone, to receive the information if unknown persons enter the observation scene.

Now extensive repairs and modernization of systems of video observation are being finished at the railway station Astrakhan-I. The quantity of video cameras has become twice the number it used to be and reached 32. The information output is carried out by the person on duty at the railway station. A gas analyzer for definition of presence of explosives and a metal detector have been acquired and will soon be put into operation.

It has been planned to put the system of video observation of the Astrakhan locomotive depot into operation in November 2007.
