VDR Solutions

NetWave VDR’s Unique Characteristics


The NetWave VDR series are an entirely new generation of Ultra Compact (S)VDRs, designed with emphasis on cost-effective installation and ease of use.

On today’s market, this system provides the smallest footprint, the lowest installation cost and offers the ship-owner the option to not merely consider the (S)VDR system as a mandatory necessity, but provides management -tools and -data to improve transparency in the ship’s overall operational performance. 

Fast Track Installation
Simplified installation due to one single wire WaveConnect ® cabling between the main units using ‘no-solder’ Quickcon© hermetically sealed connectors, which allow connections within 10 seconds, requiring no tooling, and achieve long lasting protection. Daisy-chainable interconnection scheme further reduce installation cost. With WaveNet Single Wire connection for Data as well as for Power, the amount of cabling necessary is reduced with more then 50%, allowing the system installation to be performed faster then any other SVDR.

Auto Configuring
As soon as the system is in place, you can press the start button on the Bridge Control Unit. Right after this, the system will auto configure itself, detecting on which channel is what system. Auto Configuring will reduce the time the engineer is installing the system and is reducing the errors made by installing manually. 

NW-4600 Hard storage Server
Netwave developed its own Hard Storage Server, making sure the total concept is in our hands. With our own capsule with integrated storage server with network drive, we proof to be the expert on VDR and S-VDR. 

Flexible Modular Design
We have no difference in S-VDR and VDR, except for the number of WaveNet Interface Modules to be connected. With our daisy chained, single wire system, you can increase the number of Interface Modules by just adding them to the system! 

Service Friendly
Power of Ethernet enables you to change adapters or total interfaces within 15 minutes by un-plugging the channel, remove the adapter and re-plug the channel again. This will reduce your service cost over the years, which can be a huge burden afterwards!

Monitoring
  1. Live Data Monitoring On the bridge control unit, you can see real-time what the VDR is storing. 
  2. Laptop If you would like to see the software on your screen, just plug a laptop into the JR-45 port in front of the bridge control unit and you can instantly check the system; Ideal for engineers and customs officers! VOYAGE DATA RECORDERS Netwave Info Kit 28062006 28-6-2006
  3. Compact Flash Data Retrieval Optionally, a compact flash card can be integrated in the Bridge Control Unit, offering you the chance to take the latest data with you for use externally.
  4. Remote Diagnostics With secured passwords, you can check in the system real time from your office PC via Satcom. With our WavePlay software, you can easily make the right diagnostics for management purposes.
