Cash Register Pos

[theflyingnun]

AmericanVideoEquipment.com offers a device that will allow a sales receipt to appear on the video
Cash Register Interfacing
Cash Register Interfacing is the ability to extract the data from a cash register that prints on the receipt and overlay this data on a video picture of the check out area. Most front end cameras are positioned to see the cashier, the cash drawer, items purchased and the customer. With all these elements recorded, a store owner can review this scene and with one view verify the check out was legitimate.
Direct Data
When POS Text Search DVRs are used the data from the cash registers or POS network can be fed directly to the DVR. The cash register data can then be inserted by the DVR for live viewing or during playback. However the inserted register data is not a permanent part of the video recording but an associated data file record simultaneously with the audio video and even alarm data.

So my question is, can anyone offer a dvr that would allow this to happen. Could Blue Iris be able to handle this. Does it allow text overlay from other systems?

Thanks,
Rick

You can just use a video encoder between your POS and its display, something like this: Hot Sale H.264 RTSP ONVIF HD VGA To IP Converter Encoder VGA Over IP For IPTV-in Radio & TV Broadcast Equipments from Consumer Electronics on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

then everything done on the POS is recorded on the NVR w/no special hacks.. just playback overhead cam and POS together.

yes, there are several threads that discuss using cheap devices to do this..if your system can save the pos info to a text file see this

Also note there are some software packages out that simply convert your desktop into an ONVIF channel, basically you turn your desktop into a video ONVIF compliant channel to feed your NVR. Software ranges from $50 - $100 from the ones I've seen.
