Re: Digital Sprite 2 (?)

["Just Looking" <nospam@xxxxxxxxxx>]

DM is a high end box (price wise) with features that were hot about 5 to 10
years ago. It uses its own OS; there is good and bad to that. It only
accepts analog cameras. The weak link is the hard drive. You can't swap it
and restore the OS yourself. It is a hybrid of a mux and a DVR and it is a
perfect picture of technology from the past. It generally operates as
promised and (other than the hard drive that is GUARANTIED to fail) most
folks regard it a very reliable product. If you have a very stupid customer
(or security guard) that has a phobia about computer based DVRs it might be
a perfect fit. However most security guards can master the Bosch DiBos full
remote software, Loronix (Verint) software, Vidos, etc. without issues these
days. You can never truly upgrade the DM unit's features, it won't take mega
pixel cameras, IP cameras and such. It won't do any analytics other than
simple motion, it won't really do searchable meta data transactions like POS
integration etc. It doesn't have sophisticated health monitoring like MOM.
It doesn't fully integrate with any access control systems. You really have
to have a customer with unusual needs and/or limited abilities or interests
to recommend or sell this product knowing what is out there from other
vendors today. I really would not understand why someone with normal needs
would pay the required premium for such a dinosaur product.
