The system has 3 removable hard drives which store the survey video and photos. The Windows 10 Pro operating system is stored on a solid state hard drive for increased speed and reliability, with a second solid state hard drive for redundancy. The system is supplied in a custom Pelican case.

RELIABLE SOFTWARE OPTIONS

Digital Edge offer 3 versions of software (Lite, Edge and Pro) and the Mobile EdgeDVR is available in all 3. In addition, you can create a command and control field deployable computing solution by adding a further mobile display unit of another three 17” screens.

The 3 levels of software available:

1. EdgeLite: an entry level unit, suitable for surveys and inspections, where there is no requirement for eventing.
2. EdgeDVR will is able to record 4 channels of HD simultaneously. It continues to offer the creation of Workpacks and offline editing.
3. EdgePro has an extended database that allows tasks to be assigned to components under inspection. This allows customers to either create their own Workpacks, or they can be created in-house at Digital Edge. It also provides an automatically generated report to capture inspection results.

DEPENDABLE DATA STORAGE

All units come with EdgeArchive, a data storage and back-up solution that uses an integral app within Edge architecture, to avoid needing a 3rd party app.

Edge Archive handles the transfer of data from the internal DVR drives to Client storage, either on a NAS a Raid, or a phased delivery to multiple external hard drives.

Being a Native app, the data transfer ensures that the quality of Live recordings are not impacted by a 3rd party program trying to access the same file that the DVR app is currently using.
