Reliable long-distance video without the need for CAT5, routers, or network switches.
Long cable runs? No problem. Our DVR systems don’t rely on network wiring or internet gear.
Rugged Cams brings you the Ultimate Hybrid DVR that delivers HD-1080p Megapixel Video – PLUS – it recognizes any Legacy Analog cameras you may already have.
No Hassle – HD‑TVI video over coax up to ~1500 ft (typical)—single BNC/12 VDC power cabling per camera.
The New Rugged Vault Hybrid DVR from Rugged Cams, is stuffed with every feature that you and your business will need for bringing beautiful, HD-1080p Video to your Desktop, Laptop, Phone or Tablet. Manage it from anywhere – and on any device!
Many of our Megapixel Cameras Have ZOOM LENS Control from the DVR or your Phone/Tablet
Since the Rugged Vault Hybrid DVR can automatically sense between HD-TVI cameras and any Legacy Analog cameras you may already have, this DVR is ready to grow with you as you slowly replace old cameras with new Megapixel cameras. Mix & Match any way you like!
The Rugged Vault records full-frame, real-time video on every channel — even at high resolutions.
The Rugged Vault Hybrid DVR has a very easy to navigate Menu structure that is easy to grasp right away. You will find that it is really simple to navigate through the many options for how and when to record – real time or motion-based – and can even speed up the process of searching for events in your recorded footage, with Smart Search and Event Search features that can find the evidence you need in a matter of minutes.
This great Hybrid DVR series has so many features, we literally cannot list them all here. Built‑in per‑channel signal equalization helps compensate for cable signal loss. It also can give you Alarm Notifications on your Phone or Tablet (via our handy App), a Gigabit Ethernet Port, Two-Way Audio Communication, and many types of recording to choose from (External Sensor, Motion, Audio Detection (Automatic detection of HD‑TVI and most analog legacy cameras—confirm compatibility with specific brands.), Text/POS, etc.).
