Airship DVRs use half as much power as VCRs
VCRs make as much as twice as much heat and draw as much as twice as much power as DVRs.
Over hundreds — or thousands — of cameras, this is a big deal when it comes to cost and impact on our environment. Read our blog post |
Greener solutions save money — and strain on the planet
"Green" in your pocket you can feel even better about
Digital video recording systems by their very nature are much gentler on the planet than old-school VCR recording systems that put hundreds of worn out VCRs and tens of thousands of cassette tapes in the waste stream every year from each large casino alone.
With digital video recording, you get the same superior-quality image no matter how many times you re-record onto your hard drive space, and you will not need to replace your equipment periodically as you do with VCRs when they wear out.
With digital video recording you save a significant amount of money on cassettes and replacement recording devices, however the really incredible cost savings are in labor:
- No more time-consuming daily cassette changeovers
- No more searching through banks and banks of tapes to find the tape that you need to search for evidence
- No more beginning-to-end linear search through recorded video to find the evidence you are looking for — digital video lets you use advanced search features to zero in on the video you are looking for in moments
- No more frequent belt replacements and cleanings
And Airship systems extend your "green" benefits by using less energy and requiring less colling than competing digital recording systems. You save operating money and feel good about using the smallest amount of energy while recording on a top-performing system.
Compare the operating savings over the course of a year to the cost of a new Airship digital video recording solution and you'll see how quickly you achieve a return on your investment.
Many systems pay for themselves in the first year alone. Download the digital video recording ROI chart for a typical casino or cardroom [PDF]
the wave of the future is materials recovery
Airship takes it further
At Airship, we're not content to save you money while selling you greener technologies for your video recording needs. We want to make it even more attractive for people to leave their expensive, obsolete and un-green systems behind.
 Our free Green Appeal program arranges for you to send your old VCRs to RePC and Airship will pick up the cost of recycling them. That's right, not landfiling them but recycling them so the parts are recycled into raw materials rather than thrown away. Instead of spending money on disposal, you can feel good about recycling.
