This product will not require any supervision since it will work automatically in the background allowing you to forget about recording your emitted content. Save money and save on video tapes by using SGO Black Box hard disk storage instead, like your very own TV "Black Box".

Does not require installation

The system will be delivered configured and ready to go, all you have to do is plug it into the power mains, connect it to an antenna or your continuity server and the system will simply run by itself.

No tapes

The SGO Black Box uses a perpetual recording system that will never run out of space because it will automatically delete obsolete footage without having to use any special hard disk or tape based storage.

Automatic catalogue and incident search

You have complete access to the broadcasted content which can be referenced via a database or using the channel’s play lists. The user can also access content using a simple date, hour, minute, second search function to help find any incidents.

System Warnings

If there are any incidents the SGO Black Box will automatically send warning messages by email to any specified email address.
