Building on the world-wide success of the award-winning AfterBurner, AfterBurner-2 retains all the capabilities, ease of use and reliability of its predecessor with the addition of some major new features. The video input now includes a programmable video quad, allowing up to 4 cameras to be recorded to DVD. Each input features motion detection, which can be set to a zone of interest with selectable sensitivity. There are no less than three USB-2 interfaces, one for viewing and down-loading files from the disk
AfterBurner-2 also includes an RJ45 Ethernet port for remote control and configuration, recorded file download and taking snap-shots of the video input to ensure the cameras are functioning at the remote site. A simple webpage interface provides basic remote control and monitoring and there is a new PC application for more complex configuration.. AfterBurner-2 has an internal (or optionally removable) SATA 2.5o" hard drive which can address disks of up to 1 TB. This provides potentially months of video and audio recording making AfterBurner-2 the ideal video surveillance tool.
To install the Afterburner 2, you will have to resort to drivers. These are grouped under the name of Thrustmapper 3. In fact, these are the manufacturer's own unified drivers. All of the Thrustmaster peripherals that require drivers are compatible with the Thrustmapper 3. At last, a carefully thought-out strategy! There is more good news. The handle works without a driver under Windows 2000 and Windows XP. It is even recognized automatically and under the correct name. Furthermore, the profile manager is very well-designed, with several levels of difficulty from which to choose. It is interesting to select profiles on a system of this type because they offer a multiplicity of functions.
