The VISTA VQCM4 QUAD : QUAD PROCESSOR FOR CCTV SYSTEMS is a colour / monochrome quad processor designed for CCTV security systems. It's essentially a device that allows you to view and record images from up to four cameras simultaneously on a single monitor or VCR. It's a cost-effective alternative to more complex multiplexers or large matrix systems, especially in installations with four or fewer cameras. Its features like motion detection and alarm integration make it suitable for applications requiring active monitoring and event-triggered responses.

Key Features

• Quad Display: Its primary function is to display four camera feeds on one screen, often in a "quad" layout (four equally sized images). It also supports other display modes like single camera view, sequential switching between cameras, and Picture-In-Picture (PIP).
• Colour and Monochrome Compatibility: The VQCM4 is designed to work seamlessly with both colour and monochrome (black and white) cameras, including "true day/night" cameras, without degrading image quality. It features auto-sensing for video inputs.
• Real-time Performance: It offers a real-time refresh rate (25fps for PAL systems), ensuring smooth video display.
• Independent Outputs: It has separate outputs for a monitor and a VCR, allowing the operator to view one display mode (e.g., single camera) while recording a different one (e.g., quad images).
• Alarm Inputs and Outputs: The VQCM4 includes independent alarm inputs and outputs. This means it can be connected to external alarm systems, and it can trigger alarms based on events.
• Video Motion Detection (VMD): It has built-in motion detection on a per-camera basis. When motion is detected, it can automatically switch to a full-screen display of the relevant camera and trigger an alarm.
• Video Loss Detection: It automatically detects and notifies the user of signal loss from any connected camera.
• PAL and NTSC Compatibility: The VQCM4 supports both PAL and NTSC video signals, making it compatible with systems worldwide.
• User-Friendly Interface: It features an On-Screen Display (OSD) menu for easy setup and configuration, allowing adjustments for brightness, sharpness, and hue for each channel.
