1 Features and Specifications

1.1 Overview

It is a high performance network video recorder. This series product support local preview, multiple-

window display, recorded file local storage, remote control and mouse shortcut menu operation, and

remote management and control function. All these functions support this series product to be used in

various situations.

This series product supports centre storage, front-end storage and client-end storage. The monitor zone

in the front-end can be set in anywhere. Working with other front-end devices such as IPC, NVS, this

series product can establish a strong surveillance network via the CMS. In the network system, there is

only one network cable from the monitor centre to the monitor zone in the whole network. There is no

audio/video cable from the monitor centre to the monitor zone. The whole project is featuring of simple

connection, low-cost, low maintenance work.

This series NVR can be widely used in many areas such as public security, water conservancy,

transportation and education.

1.2 Features

User Management
