Techson IP recorders can be divided into different series based on processor performance, features and level of intelligence. Although face recognition cameras are supported in all four segments, as an intelligent feature, a special version of the feature, that is face recognition through independent channels, was only available in the I61 project series. The feature differs in its general operation from other recorders, which support face recognition in that it does not require a camera capable of face recognition, it is the recorder itself that performs the evaluation of the incoming video. This capability, typically available on four channels, was introduced as an innovation of I42 type recorders.
Two new Techson recorders, TCR I42 M32-H2L2XF2 and TCR I42 Q16-H2L2XF2 of the medium IP-segment category, take the category to the next level. Anyone familiar with the nomenclature of Techson recorders, can easily identify several innovations just from the names, but let us still go through the features offered by these new devices.
Due to the two HDMI outputs, even a dual monitor, dual display solution is possible with these recorders. While the first one, a 32-channel recorder is capable of hosting two hard drives, the 16-channel recorder can be operated with up to four.
This way recordings can be stored long-term, without having to worry about overwriting events recorded earlier.
Number “2” frequently appears in the name of these devices. This is indicative of all of the following benefits, presented one after the other:
Configuration of the recorder will continue to be possible on the first display, along with various settings, while at the same time, on the second display, preset and pre-selected live camera views can be followed without interruption.
The second number “2” indicates the number of available LAN connectors. The double connection feature can open up new perspectives for users. With this feature, the network of Techson IP cameras can be separated from the office and home network, which has internet access.
To do so, simply connect one LAN port of the recorder with the separate network device established for cameras, and the second LAN port with the network used for general purposes. A much higher level of security can be achieved with this solution during installation, and the camera system can be physically protected from unauthorized users, while the recorder will still be accessible from the home or office network. The solution is optimal in terms of maximizing bandwidth availability, as data received from the cameras flows within a closed system and does not present a load to the common network.
Last but not least, the number “2” refers to the XF2 qualification, which signifies that the recorder is capable of face recognition from an image flow received from any IP camera. This can be realized on two channels, which allows us to endow systems with the face recognition function, where the installed cameras would not capable of that on their own.
In addition to face recognition, face comparison can also be carried out with the face-recordings stored in the recorder’s database.
One should remember during use that the processors of these medium category recorders are be capable of performing only one high-load task at a time. A decision has to be made, whether to use the dual display function or independent face recognition. With face recognition enabled on the NVR side, the connection of the second HDMI monitor will be disabled. There’s no need for such decisions in relation to all the other features, those can be accessed any time while using the device.
The TCR I42 M32-H2L2XF2 and TCR I42 Q16-H2L2XF2 are proud to extend the range of medium category IP recorders.
