Two technologies. One device. SJUK meets Mike Isherwood, Managing Director, System Q to find out more about its latest product. 

Transitioning from a coaxial network to an IP system may appear daunting, particularly when considering potential expenses and efforts associated with rewiring.  

Speaking to SJUK, System Q Managing Director, Mike Isherwood says: “Our analogue-to-IP transition solutions set us apart within the surveillance industry.

“Products like the Mules and the Hybrid DVR (XVR) are specifically designed to streamline the process of migrating from coaxial to IP systems, making it as smooth and hassle-free as possible.

“These professional tools are engineered to simplify the shift and make it a breeze.” 

System Q was established 30 years ago and and its distinctive approach, which combines in-house software and firmware development with bespoke solutions tailored to unique CCTV market needs has, says Isherwood, “enabled us to maintain our status as an industry leader”. 

Bridging the gap 

The company’s XVR recorder bridges the gap between analogue and IP, by combining the best of DVR and NVR technologies into one powerful device.

With the capacity to add up to 8 IP cameras per recorder (or more), you can effortlessly upgrade your system without a complete infrastructure revamp, resulting in significant time and cost savings 

“Beyond its primary function, our XVR boasts a range of features that set it apart, including Audio Over Co-ax and Talk Back to multiple audio & alarm inputs and Instant Detective Search. It also includes AI iSENSE features like Face Detection and Recognition, Vehicle Detection, Cross Counting, Crowd Density, and more,” says Isherwood. 

“Featuring Google and Alexa Integration, YouTube live streaming, crystal-clear 4K video, and secure cloud storage capabilities, our XVR recorders delivers a dependable and professional surveillance experience.” 

The XVR’s features were recently put to the test in a sports facility, where it enabled live-streaming of exercise classes to a broader audience on YouTube.

Viewers were treated to high-quality images, real-time video transmission, and “an outstanding live event experience”, thanks to the seamless integration of advanced IP camera capabilities provided by the powerful XVR. 

Designed with an all-metal body, the XVR is both durable and sleek.

Its intuitive interface provides easy access to various settings, just a few clicks away.

If the system requires additional storage, simply connect a Zipstor eSATA Hard Drive Expander to the XVR for up to 40TB of extra space.
