Ovation Systems awarded contract to supply London's Metropolitan Police with Evidential DVD Recorders

UK based Ovation Systems have been awarded a contract to supply the UK's Metropolitan Police Service with their new evidentially secure digital video recorder - "AfterBurner-2", in a contract worth GBP 700K over 2 years.

This is the second major agreement Ovation Systems has been awarded by the Met.

The previous contract was granted for "AfterBurner-1", a specially designed time-lapse DVD recorder to replace their aging time-lapse VCRs. Several thousand "AfterBurner-1s" are now in operation with all UK police forces and many law enforcement agencies around the world.

The new contract is for the supply of "AfterBurner-2"and related equipment.

"AfterBurner-2", is again a time-lapse capable DVD recorder that offers all the benefits of high quality DVD recording coupled with the operational strengths of a traditional video cassette recorder. It has been specifically designed for police forces, as it operates in real-time, or time-lapse, allowing 24 hours or more of video footage to be burnt onto a single disk.

"AfterBurner-2", has all the benefits of its predecessor with the addition of an internal 4 camera video quad with zone motion detection. Connectivity has been enhanced with USB-2 interfaces for local viewing and file download together with an Ethernet port for remote control and configuration over the Internet. AfterBurner-2 is ideal for long-term, evidentially sensitive, serious and organised crime surveillance operations and meets the Digital Imaging Guidelines set by the UK Home Office.
