The Taiwanese CCTV manufacturer VIVOTEK has launched a rack mountable 16-channel Linux embedded Network Video Recorder (NVR), the NR8401. According to the company it operates independently from a PC, providing users with a recording system with a range of network management and system settings. The full range of VIVOTEK’s network cameras, including the latest high megapixel and fisheye models, works with NR8401.
Different from the DVR, an NVR can connect with other networked devices via the internet. VIVOTEK says that its NR8401 is an enhanced version of previous NVR products, and can not only connect with central management software as VIVOTEK’s VAST, but is also compatible with the iViewer application, allowing for remote access of the NR8401 on hand-held devices. Real-time monitoring, recording and data management can be performed at once via the web browser. The product comes with web console dewarp, supporting the 1O, 1P and 1R dewarping modes for fisheye cameras.
Features include two gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports, multiple network setting modes to avoid the risk of recording loss, including standalone mode, fail-over mode and load balance mode. As for backup, a one-touch button is on the front panel for users to back-up or restore NVR configurations. The storage capacity of the NVR can be expanded to up to 12TB via four HDDs, and the unit supports RAID 0/1/5 applications for video data protection and mirroring. External sensors or alarms can also be added.
Steve Ma, Executive VP at VIVOTEK, said: “Today, we are pleased to launch our next generation network video recorder NR8401. Designed in a rack mount style housing, NR8401 is highly flexible and scalable for future system upgrades and installation expansion, making surveillance infrastructure fully-featured and robust. NR8401 is a product that is especially ideal for chain stores or small to medium size business applications.”
