1. Product Description
The Network Video R ecorder is designed for use within a surveillance system,
and performs recordings and playbacks pictures from network ca meras in the
system. It is a recording device using a hard disk drive to record camera pictures
instead of using vide o tapes so that pictures re corded by repeated o verwriting
will not experience deterioration of the re corded picture quality. Up to 8 (for NVR-
810) or 16 (for N VR-1610) cameras can be connected via a net - work and it is
possible to record their came ra pictures. It is poss ible to perform the settings or
operate the NVR using a web browser installed on a PC connec ted to a network,
or remote controller. Recorded video can be played back from remote site by a PC.
Up to 4 PCs (web browsers) can access this unit concurrently and it is possible to
perform the settings and oper ate this unit. The NVR is compatible with most
major brand cameras and its ability to autom atically search and find the available
cameras on the netw ork can greatly reduc e the user effort when expanding the
system.
