Introduction
The NVR 4K UHD Series are network video recorders that offer a standalone solution for managing IP
cameras and systems. The built-in high-quality decoder can deliver 4K/ 5MP/ 3MP/ 1080p/ 720p/ D1/
VGA/ CIF IP camera streams. Each channel can be individually configured to record in SD or HD
resolution to suit your needs.
The internal HDMI and VGA engine supports adaptive motion refinement technology, which provides
HDMI output with maximum resolution of 4K and VGA output with 1080p resolution. The NVR Series can

Web Services Dynamic Discovery (WS-Discovery) protocol allows for locating all the cameras on the
network and can generate a preview thumbnail of each channel. The self-diagnostic feature can estimate
remaining recording time and monitor S.M.A.R.T status, network status, and other information.
Files recorded by the NVR can be exported to DVD and USB flash drive, or the files can be downloaded
via Backup Manager, Remote Player, FTP client software, or Network Places. Mobile support for iOS,
and Android allows for remote viewing of connected cameras at high frame rates. Browser-based live
monitoring and video playback features are also supported.
