Chapter 1 Product Introduction
1.1 Overview
The new generation NVR (Network Video Recorder) is designed for high performance
digital surveillance. It adopts the embedded processors and embedded Linux system,
applies excellent encode chip and decode chip, and integrates many of the advanced
technologies, such as standard H.264 with low bit rate, embedded system technology,
large capacity hard disc storage technology, TCP/IP network technology, intelligent
technology, etc. Burning applications in FLASH can make the system more stable, images
clearer and function much more powerful. NVR is a networking device which based on
TCP/IP protocols, and accesses the digital video streams from video & audio capture
devices and alarm devices via an IP network to implement functions like preview, record,
playback, camera control, alarm, etc. NVR has a strong flexibility in building network video
surveillance system, and remotely managing devices via LAN or WAN.
It can work independently, can also be used for making up the powerful network
monitoring center, and widely used in bank, telecommunication, transportation, factory,
warehouse and other related applications.
