March 2004 - 4MAX
creates it's first fully functional 2, 4, 8, 12 and 16 port
video/audio Marine DVR. This new system promises to fill a void
that was previously impossible. Cameras have been utilized for
years for maneuvering and keeping an eye on swimmers off the
rear deck, but never for security simply because there was no
recorder in existence. Even to this day, 4MAX is the only
manufacturer of DVR systems designed specifically for
houseboats. Because of it's 10"X10"X3" footprint, it can be
mounted virtually anywhere on houseboats. And because of it's
12vdc power requirements and 24/7 audio/video recording, 4MAX's
NovaStar Marine DVRs prove that you can rest assured that you
houseboat is being looked after even while you are away.

over 20 of the top houseboat manufacturers. Immediately 4MAX's
DVRX systems were the talk of the EXPO. With all of the input of
the manufacturers, 4MAX was able to add to it's DVRX systems
items that were not previously offered, such as Global Satellite
Positioning software/hardware with lake, stream and ocean maps
for guidance and depth. Other items added to the line are 7", 8"
and 12" Touchscreen flat panel LCD screens for easy control of
all DVRX functions and built in speakers for better

January 2007 - 4MAX introduces "VideoStar" DVRX systems with
16, 32 and 64 video/audio ports Hardware Compression in a singe machine. Before
hardware compression, a 64 port DVR would be nearly impossible due to the
tremendous overhead of handling
64 ports of video at 1,920 FPS. Put simply, hardware
compression means that all of the video processing is done on each of the video
capture cards relieving the systems CPU from having to do the task. With this in
mind, the DVRs CPU can perform all of it's normal tasks without having to handle
the video compression as well. This concept opens a whole new market for our
DVRX systems. In places like casinos and large corporations, one 64 port machine
can now replace four of the standard 16 port machines now employed. And, because
the machines are stackable, it is now possible to have hundreds of cameras on a
single DVRX network.
