PICO2000© Series - Basic & Basic Plus

PICO2000© Basic & Basic Plus are the standards of the series providing an affordable, reliable Digital Video System. As with all products in the series, Basic & Basic Plus can be easily expanded and integrated into enterprise systems.

The PICO2000© Basic uses UCC4 or UCC4A (UCC4 with audio input jack) capture cards.

PICO2000© Basic Plus uses the UCC4P capture cards. This card was introduced in late 2003 with the following additions:

Hardware Synchronization - Provides steadier and better quality video without compromising frame rates.
TV-Out and Audio - A feature new to the series is on-board TV-Out. This means taking a real-time video feed directly from the board to a TV screen. This feed is independent of the recording and other PICO2000© features and so has no affect on performance. Users can select any one of up to sixteen cameras for TV display or can sequence through selected cameras. There are two connections on the board for TV-Out, one at the front and one at the back, for convenience. An Audio input jack (for recording) is now standard on this board.

Aside from the differences above, Basic and Basic Plus products have the same features. The following table describes the individual products that make up the Basic and Basic Plus part of the PICO2000© Series.

Please note that recorded frame rate depends on a lot of factors - activity in front of the camera, activity on the PICO2000© Server, number of cameras displaying, number of cameras recording, CPU speed, etc.
