Recently LILIN launched the NVR-116, a 16-channel, HD IP network video recorder with touch-screen operation. LILIN has announced that the standalone NVR family has extended; four and nine channel versions are now available, with features associated with the NVR-116. The NVR-104 and NVR-109 units are aimed at smaller projects. The new recorders offer four or nine channels of 1080P at 25 frames per second (fps).ย

Users of the NVR Touch series can display and record multiple channels of 1080P IP video simultaneously at 25fps. All models can be operated using an IR remote control; a PTZ keyboard; or a standard touch-screen monitor. The manufacturerโs touch-screen interface uses smartphone-style features such as โpinch and zoomโ, multi-touch and scrolling icon based menus, deliberately avoiding traditional PC-style screens. The touch-screen increases operator speed and minimises the time taken to learn the system, according to the makers.

The entire NVR series also has an automated installation wizard (WS Discovery) which locates all the cameras on the network and imports a preview picture of each channel, to help with identification. This speeds up commissioning. Users can export audio and video recordings to a USB, the NVRโs integrated DVD or to a protected part of a hard drive, using the drag and drop timeline. A user can view remotely from smartphones, such as iPhone, Android, Blackberry and iPad.

The NVR Touch is described as a second generation NVR, designed from scratch for the CCTV market. It has taken four years for the firm to develop a processor for decoding real time HD video streams that does not rely on a PC.ย

It was the company says a considerable challenge and investment, but essential for making products that are straightforward for installers to set up and operate. Having developed the hardware platform for this NVR the company plans to incorporate it into other HD IP systems for more specialised markets.
