VSI-PRO-MAX
CASH REGISTER / EPOS FRAUD PROTECTION

The VSI-Pro Max is the latest in the evolution of the popular VSI line of POS / Cash Register Interfaces from AVE. The VSI-Pro Max, now with larger memory space can hold ALL the AVE Interfaces in one unit with full remote PC or DVR programming for selection and setups and onsite firmware updating. New video processing circuitry allows use with new WDR cameras and low video of commonly used UTP adapters. Built in RS-232, RS-485, Passive and the new Opto-Isolated selection, gives complete isolation from the POS/Cash Register from the video system. Internal 40 Mhz operation allows for combining the Networking functions of the Hydra, Regcom, Networker or Vnetworker within one convenient unit with looping RJ45s for a seamless solution for multiple till configuration.

VSI-PRO-MAX offers alarm outputs, exception history with a time and date stamp. The EX function gives hard alarm outputs (contact closures). This alarm can trigger a VCR or switcher to home to a camera watching a particular cash register, Quad or a Speed Dome to go to a preset position when certain types of exceptional transactions are detected. The alarm outputs are accessed through the DB-9 connector which plugs into the rear of the VSI.

Typical Configuration

Black Video from the camera goes to video in on the VSI-PRO-MAX. This camera typically watches the general area, including the register, counter, employee and customer. Video out from the VSI-PRO-MAX goes on to the existing video system.
Blue
Most new ECR have a RS232 output or can have an external device tapped, but some low end registers require the installation of an RS-232 board from the register vendor. While others with no RS-232 ability must be fitted with an additional interface module which converts the printer data to RS-232 for the VSI-PRO-MAX.
Red

Data from each VSI-PRO-MAX is daisy chained to a master VSI-PRO-MAX or Hydra, this data is then consolidated and transmitted to a compatible DVR in an addressable format

 

optional
The optional EX function gives you 2 hard alarm outputs to trigger alarming VCR's, Quads, or other alarming devices for Exception reporting allowing easy review of exceptional sales, or Instant reviewing on DVR's
