DreamBox – All in One CCTV Solution


The DreamBox is a state-of-the-art embedded hardware and software product, which integrates a number of CCTV related applications, into one box. The system is designed to be economical, as well as compact to save space, whilst avoiding the use of a complicated cable installation and network protocols integration.

DreamBox contains twelve different applications, including Digital Video and Audio Recording, Video & Audio Matrix Switcher, Outdoor and Indoor Video Motion Detection System (VMD), Security Management System (SMS) and Transmission system.
The DreamBox is substantially lower in price than the cost of the other products’ applications combined, a factor, which positions DreamBox as the ultimate security solution for all strategic facilities. Its target markets include governmental, institutional and other sensitive facilities, such as airports, train stations, seaports, prisons, casinos and hospitals, all of which require the use of high quality CCTV applications.

The product excels in its superior synergy capabilities and is able to share resources, data and storage between a few Dreambox units. The product is fully redundant, based on a Linux Operating system, and using a distributed topology, which does not require any central server. The network topology enables data path in two different routes achieving inherent backup.

DreamBox (DB) is a real time synergetic multimedia surveillance system for homeland security and general CCTV use.
DreamBox, with its built-in ETX Pentium and 11 DSP’s, processes information such as video, audio and data.
This allows multiple users to view, analyze in real-time, transmit, respond, record, playback, smart-search, manage, debrief and archive simultaneously in a secured and redundant manner.

Each DB performs a number of independent processes which include video compression, audio/video transmission, digital recording, content analysis algorithms (such as outdoor and indoor video motion detection), digital/analog acquisition, data transfer over multiple network types , synchronized playback of video and audio, digital switching between cameras, videophone and security management software integration to external computerized systems.
All these functions are included inside one 2Ux19" box.
DreamBox (DB) Objectives

1. Synergy - Include all the functions and components of CCTV system in one single box
2. Reduce the integration time required for a complete solution
3. Decrease the uncertainty involved in pre-planning
4. Reduce the price of the overall CCTV system, network and infrastructure cost
5. Minimize the installation time and cables/fibers required
6. Enable complete data and network redundancy
7. Allow the sharing of resources between DB’s within a distributed topology
DreamBox Built-In Digital Video Recorder (DVR)

DreamBox, the smart digital video and audio recording solution for security applications, uses MPEG4 or H.263, state of the art video compression technology.
Each DreamBox locally or over the network can record up to 30/25 (NTSC/PAL) Frames Per Second (FPS) on each of its 8 video inputs - providing full D1(4 CIF) video resolution while requiring far less storage space.
The DreamBox is designed for high level, real-time recording, and allows for controlling the bit-rate, frame rate and resolution, giving the users a highly customizable solution.

The variable frame rate for different zones in the same camera field-of-view results in a cost-effective solution for recording and storage of high frame rate with high resolution.
The superior technology of the DB, which includes smart archiving and smart bandwidth reduction algorithms, will substantially reduce storage requirements in high demand applications.
