Dedicated Micros DVR remote reporting in a tick

For the last 5 or so years, Dedicated Micros DVR products have had Remote Alarm Reporting capabilities built-in. Which means the DVR can be programmed to ‘dial-up’ a Remote Video Receiving Center (RVRC) when an alarm condition is activated.

As the majority of Dedicated Micros DVRs are configured only as a CCTV recorder, the remote reporting function is often overlooked by installers, but it could be used to offer your customers a better service and increase your revenue streams from your existing or new installations.

What does this mean for installers?

In the current economic climate, it may be difficult for your customers to justify replacing a perfectly good CCTV system. If this is the case, you can use the remote reporting function built into Dedicated Micros DVRs to broaden your service portfolio and leverage more revenue streams from the CCTV systems they already have.

What does it mean for end-users?

For little or no upfront cost your customers’ CCTV cameras to be monitored by an RVRC, responding to alarm activations and liaising with the police or private response services to provide extra security. The RVRC can also provide services such as audio challenge, access control, concierge services, and two-way ‘help point’ audio.

How easy is it to set up remote reporting?

With Dedicated Micros ‘NetVu Connected’ DVRs, it’s as simple as connecting the DVR to the Internet , ticking a box in a web page, and filling in a few connection details. The RVRC will normally be able to advise you on how to set you connection up.
