Lilin NDR104 User manual

Summary
NDR series are designed to meet the demands for full D1 real-time pure hybrid IP cameras
and/or analog cameras recording systems.
NDR series adopt high compression rate H.264 full D1 real-time engine for both analog and IP
camera streaming. Each channel can be configured as for IP camera or analog camera at full
D1 or CIF resolution and different frame rate. Region of interest (ROI) is supported at 5X and
9X zoom capacity along.
HDMI and VGA engines are built-in 3D intellectual motion adoptive refinement with vivid image
enhancement algorithm to provide best video quality. TV wall design allows NDRs to be
cascaded via TCP/IP network for easy-cabling configuration. IP cameras and analog cameras
can be controlled by 3D joystick keyboard(s). Master and slave NDRs design, pre-
programmed IP cameras and NDR access tables can be automatically distributed to slave
NDRs for quick addressing purpose. WS-Discovery protocol allows quick IP address setup for
IP cameras and NDRs.
NDR series provide various backup features include USB DVD/RW, USB flash disk, HTTP
download, and Backup Manager for multiple NDRs’ files download. Mobile phone device
remote monitoring is also supported. Browser based remote live monitoring and video
playback features are provided. NDR self-diagnostic monitoring feature monitors NDR internal
temperature, cooling fan failure detection, HDD I/O speed, and network status via health check
report.
NDR series provide real-time D1 recording and playback, various backup, quick camera and
NDR IP addressing, multiple self-diagnostic monitoring, easy-cabling, easy-to-use, and easy-
setup features. NDR series are the only choice for moving towards IP cameras recording
systems.
