Introduction
Product Overview
Levelone HUBBLE series (hereafter referred to as NVR) is a compact and reliable
multi-channel standalone NVR. It features a stable embedded Linux operating system and
capabilities of supporting mega-pixel resolution H.265 or H.264 streaming, an HDMI output
for local display, PTZ control, scheduled / event-triggered / event speed-up recording, event
management, synchronized playback, time / event-based playback search and video
bookmarks. Its intuitive user interface allows the system installer to enjoy effortless
installation experience, while making it easy for new users to get acquainted with the
operation by first-time use. Other than the local client, the remote PC client may access the
NVR system simultaneously, and experience user-friendly web interface customized for
browser-based operations.
NVR Server / Client Architecture
In a video surveillance system architecture, NVR serves as service provider, aimed to run
24/7 non-stop video management service for clients. An NVR client makes requests for
monitoring video stream or playing back recordings from NVR.
There are two types of NVR clients: Local Client and Remote Client.A client, connecting
from whether a remote computer or from local, will be offered the same functionalities of
NVR.
⚫Local Client: In the local site, the client user directly operates NVR by connecting an HDMI
monitor and a USB mouse to the physical NVR.
⚫Remote Client: Over the TCP/IP network, the Remote Client communicates with NVR
through HTTP Protocol. This client user will have to use a computer with Internet Explorer
to access the NVR web interface, without the need of installing any client program
beforehand. Logging in to NVR is as simple as visiting a website.

Remote Client PC Requirements
As NVR itself is a self-contained unit, the table below provides basic guidelines only for
selecting proper hardware for the remote PC client. If your live view display quality is not
satisfactory, please consider computers with more advanced spec as the decoding of
multiple channels requires good hardware for smooth performance (*1).
*1 The quality of video display performance lies not only in the hardware but a few variables.
Please refer to Supported Video Format on page 11 for instructions on how to achieve
ideal video performance.
*2 PC spec requirements are the same for 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
*3 Microsoft Windows operating system has limits on memory and address space,
regardless of the real or virtual memory available on a particular computer.
Please use 64-bit system if your computer has more than 4GB RAM.
*4 Please make sure your operating system is fully patched with the latest service packs.
