The Fracarro DVR VENEZIA 4 is a compact, fanless 4-channel digital video recorder designed for small to medium security installations. It records at Full-D1 resolution (720 × 576) with H.264 compression, which reduces hard-drive usage while maintaining quality adjustable across 9 levels per camera. Motion detection, alarm scheduling, and pre/post-alarm recording windows (0–60 seconds) are all configurable per camera.

Remote access is available from a PC via Internet Explorer or the included CMS software, which controls up to 10 DVR units simultaneously through graphical site maps. Mobile access — via mobile phone, PDA, or Smartphone — works without any software installation. The DVR also supports home-automation relay control (2 relays) and exports footage as AVI via USB or network. Menus are available in Greek.
