New Generation S-VDR & VDR products Danelec Launched

September 10 2008

Following on from the DM300 S-VDR and DM500 VDR, the new and 3rd generation of Danelec S-VDR and VDR products offers an unmatched flexibility in a new, compact and light weight, easy to install solution.

The solid construction and innovative design makes the DM200 S-VDR and DM400 VDR systems among the most compact systems available.  The modular design combined with the “hot-swap” capability of modules reduces maintenance cost and time greatly.

Radio Holland is global distributor of Danelec VDR prodcuts.

The DM200 S-VDR and DM400 VDR are configured through a standard web browser interface which incorporates an extremely high level of auto configuration, reducing the cost and time of installation.

The DM200 S-VDR and DM400 VDR use the latest technology in Solid State Memory devices (no moving parts = longer lifetime) and has new USB functionality for simplified data retrieval. In addition, if longer data storage periods are required, optional extended external storage capacity is available.
