1. Introduction
EverFocus all new NVR Solution, targeting small-scale installations such as homes and small
businesses, will also be placed under the spotlight. With true plug-and-play setup and real-time
local display up to Full HD resolution, the Linux-embedded solution works just like a NVR but
without the need for those complicated network settings that would be otherwise required
with conventional NVR systems.
Featuring a standalone network video recorder up to 8 channels, along with a series of NVR
EverFocus megapixel cameras, the NVR Solution offers a complete system kit that can be easily
installed in a matter of minutes. There is no need to purchase extra computers or software to
operate the system.
When paired with our powerful EverFocus PowerVideo Plus CMS, the ENVR8304E-8CH can be
used in complex multi-site installations with centralized management. The ENVR8304E-8CH is
also fully supported by the EverFocus MobileFocus remote viewer on iOS and Android devices,
which help extend video surveillance from fixed locations to mobile environments.
