Erika’s Ongoing Innovations
Innovation has been a key driver of Convergent Design from day-one. Over time our Odyssey/Apollo video recorders were enhanced 17 times via major firmware updates. These free updates included many new features, all of which improved the value and functionality of our recorder.
We have similar plans for Erika. Already Erika leads the industry with such innovative features as dynamic switching and 25-hour battery life. Our PC/Mac app provides extensive control and status info, not found in competitive products.
Look for many new firmware updates, many of which will not require any hardware changes or additional costs.
