Defence-grade Digital Video Recorders designed for integration and operational resilience

Vision4ce Digital Video Recorders are built to perform as part of complete, networked defence systems. Whether capturing from a single EO sensor or managing multiple high-definition streams, each unit integrates seamlessly with Vision4ce’s CHARM tracking modules, GRIP rugged computing platforms, and VMS control software. Together, they deliver a unified ecosystem for real-time video capture, analysis, and secure data distribution.

 

Engineered for harsh operational environments, Vision4ce DVRs maintain reliable performance under extreme temperature, vibration, and shock conditions. This rugged design ensures consistent recording, playback, and data integrity in mission-critical situations across land, sea, and air platforms.

 

The DVR range supports encryption, removable storage, and recognised defence video standards including STANAG 4609 and DEF-STAN 00-82. This enables secure handling of mission footage from live recording through to post-mission debrief and data analysis.

 

For defence system integrators and programme managers, Vision4ce DVRs offer a dependable, scalable recording solution that complements the broader Vision4ce hardware and software portfolio, ensuring long-term interoperability and operational assurance.
