1Features and Specifications
1.1 Overview
The NVRs within this series deliver high performance within a networked security surveillance
system. This series of products also support local preview, multiple-window display, recorded file
local storage, remote control & mouse shortcut menu operation, and remote management &
control function.
In addition to this it can also provide integral centre storage, front-end storage and client-end
storage. The monitor zone in the front-end can be setup anywhere. Working with other front-end
devices within the Qvis product range, this product series can establish a strong surveillance
network via the CMS. In order for the system to work you only need one network cable running
from each security camera, to the monitor workstation, within the whole network. There is no need
for multiple audio/video cables from the security cameras to the monitor workstation. The whole
project features a simple connection, which reduces network installation costs and a low amount
of maintenance work.
This series of NVRs can be widely used in many areas such as public security, water conservancy,
transportation and education.
1.2 Features
User
Management
Each group has different management powers that can be edited freely.
Every user belongs to an exclusive group.
Storage
Via corresponding setup (such as alarm setup and schedule setup), you
can backup related audio/video data on to the network video recorder.
Supports Web and local video recording.
Alarm
Responds to external alarms (within 200MS) whilst continuing to monitor
and record video camera footage. This is based on user’s pre-defined
relay setup, the system can process the alarm input systematically and
will prompt user by using screen and voice alerts (supports pre-recorded
audio).
Supports central alarm server setup, so that alarm information can
remotely notify user automatically. Alarm input can be derived from
various connected peripheral devices.
Alarm trigger Alerts sent to your EMAIL.
Network
Monitor
Sending audio/video data, through the network, can both be compressed
by the IPC or the NVS and then sent to the monitoring station. The data
will then be decompressed and displayed. If the bandwidth is big enough,
latency will be less than 500ms
Supports a maximum of 10 connections
Transmit audio/video data by HTTP, TCP, UDP, MULTICAST, RTP/RTCP,
etc.
Transmit some alarm data or alarm info by SMTP.
