A new era in video surveillance
and recording. Digital.
Spider, a truly affordable multi-channel digital surveillance system, uses Darim's
proven MPEG1 encoding technology combined with state-of-the-art security and video surveillance
techniques delivers an innovative solution to your current analog time-lapse recording nightmare.
Spider operates on Pentium PCs running Windows NT. It supports real time recording
of up to 8 multiplexed channels per card and contains all the features of a top-of-the-line surveillance
system including video digitizing, compression, transmission over networks and local or remote storage.

Why digital? you ask. Simple.
MPEG1 compression utilized by Spider allows you to capture large amount of
quality video data that is easily stored, archived and browsed.
Working in a digital environment allows independent and precise control
of each camera. Smooth expandability of number of channels and storage space,
as well as quick and efficient random access to the recorded video and event logging.
User friendly software interface and low cost make Spider a huge plus for video
surveillance professionals.
