Based On Linux
The Linux operating system lies at the heart of this DVR. The on screen display menu offers several languages to suit a wide variety of users. If this multilingual GUI (graphical user interface) ever needs an update you can download it for free from our support site.
H264 Recording
The Orbix 8MX security DVR can record at up 120 IPS (images per second) using the latest H264 video compression. Make recordings in CIF, half D1 and D1 resolution with picture quality selectable in several levels from VERY HIGH to LOW. Watch your videos on a VGA or a composite monitor straight from the DVR or download video clips to a USB drive and watch them on your PC or Mac (using QuickTime media player).
Easy Networking
Network connection is easy using the built in RJ45 Ethernet (10/100 Base) style LAN connector on the back of the DVR. Standard network protocols TCP/IP, HTTP, and DHCP apply. Use MS IE7 or higher for remote live viewing over the internet or to play back any recording, or to change setup remotely (as long as you have the necessary security passwords).
We also provide - for free - advanced remote camera management software (CMS) for the Orbix MX series. This software makes using Orbix MX security DVRs a pleasure.
