Overview
The Brickcom BRC64 is an advanced PC-based NVR that allows users to manage up to
64 Brickcom IP cameras for live viewing and video recording. With the support of
Mega-pixel resolution and H.264 compression, it uses less bandwidth while offering
optimal image viewing and recording quality.
Designed for flexibility and user-friendliness, the BRC64 has many features which enable
easy setup and management of the entire IP surveillance system. The E-MAP gives
users a full outline of the monitored areas and the ‘Smart Camera Search’feature makes
it possible to gain instant access to any Brickcom IP camera on the specific site. ‘Smart
Motion Detection’and extensive event configuration work together to make an effective
IP system. Support for viewing and recording at different frame rates is available for
efficient use of disk space. Flexible recording options include manual, event-triggered,
scheduled and continuous.
With the help of the Brickcom BRC64 and its IP cameras, users can quickly build a secure
IP surveillance system.
