Features

Comprehensive IP Surveillance Solution

Total Solution: The D-Link NVR is a standalone SATA RAID network video recorder capable of 24/7 recording without a PC. The NVR can manage multiple network cameras, providing direct access to view live video and play recorded data through the Internet from anywhere anytime. The device itself is compact in size and incorporates a physical security lock.

Easy to Use: Auser-friendlyGUIsimplifiesnetworkandcamerasetup,allowinguserstoeasilyaccessmultiplecameras for viewing, recording, playback, and configuration.

Centralized Interface for Configuration: NVR provides a flexible and economic alternative to manage and configure multiple Network cameras on a centralized web interface.

Megapixel Resolution Support: The major advantage of digital over analog video is its higher resolution support. The NVR supports high resolution megapixel recording for vivid video with high clarity.

Empowered by Mydlink technology: DNR-322L can be easily setup for internet access. It supports real-time monitoring and playback from everywhere via IE browser. The recording store in your own HDD with high privacy, not in the cloud.

Complete Network Functionality

PPPoE Support:The D-Link NVR utilizes ADSL services. It can connect to the Internet via an ADSL modem over Ethernet.

DDNS Support: Dynamic DNS is a solution for users without a fixed IP address. With DDNS service, users can connect to the NVR from the Internet using an easy-to-remember domain name.

NTP Support: Maintaining an accurate record of time is essential if recorded data is to be used as evidence. To ensure that the time recording is always accurate, the NVR can update the system clock from an Internet server using the Network Time Protocol (NTP).

DHCP Server: The NVR can act as a DHCP server for easy deployment when the network environment is very simple and there is no existing DHCP server.

Section 1 - Product Overview

Fully Functional Recording

1.Flexible Recording Schedule: Once cameras have been set up, a highly configurable scheduling system allows for continuous recording or recording during specifically allotted time frames. Each camera can be set to record independently at preset intervals. It also provides event recording based on specific triggers.

2.Recording Automatic Overwrite: The NVR can be configured to overwrite the oldest data automatically when Hard Disk space runs out, allowing for continuous and uninterrupted recording. Users can specify the number of days the recording should be kept (within the limits of the Hard Disk capacity). For example, if the NVR has the capacity to store 7 days of recording, using the overwrite option, the NVR will record the 8th day and delete the 1st day.

3.Recording Stop Alert: The NVR also provides the option to stop recording when the Hard Disk is full. When the disk reach capacity, a notification can be sent via E-mail or to an external device such as an audible alarm or LED display.

Comprehensive Data and Hardware Security

1.Secure Data: RAID 1 duplicates the recordings database onto two separate drives. In the event of an Hard Disk failure, data integrity is maintained on the secondary Hard Disk.

2.Auto Boot after Power Recovery: The NVR will boot up automatically once the power is recovered after a power outage.

3.Access List Control: User can specify safe and blocked IP addresses to filter the external connections; this feature increases data security.

4.Multiple User Privilege Control: Administrators may also choose access privileges for users by specifying the cameras they may have access to live view, playback, audio, and PTZ functions.

5.UPS Status Monitor: A UPS can be used as emergency power supply for the NVR. The UPS uses a USB interface to notify the NVR to perform a proper shutdown before battery power runs out.

6.Backup Recording Data: Recorded data is stored in a secure database.This recorded data can be backed up to additional storage locations periodically or whenever needed.

Powerful Event Management

1.Camera Status: The camera status page will show connection, recording, frame rate and bit rate information of each camera. Meanwhile, the estimated available recording time is also displayed for quick reference.

2.Flexible Event Management: Event setup is another key configuration of the NVR. The NVR can monitor all of the camera triggers from motion detection. One of the most powerful functions is notification application. The NVR centrally controls the E-mail and recording of all the connected cameras.
