Overview

Introduction

The NSR series is a dedicated surveillance recorder equipped with preinstalled surveillance software that runs on their dedicated operating system. The NSR allows you to monitor and record network camera images (JPEG or MPEG4). It also allows you to play back the recorded images and search through them, making the NSR a truly versatile monitoring tool.

Chapter 1 Introduction

Control compatible cameras from remote locations

You can pan, tilt, and perform zoom operations of compatible cameras from the NSR network. The NSR provides control of focus and bright level, and also supports audio recording from network cameras.

* Microphones and speakers sold separately.

Compatible with analog cameras

You can monitor and record images from analog cameras when you purchase and install an optional camera server (SNT-V704).

The network ports supporting for gigabit (1000 Base-T)

As the NSR-100/50 is equipped with three network ports, you can configure the system so that the camera network is kept separate, preventing the camera network data from being affected by the other network data. There is more than enough space to receive data from multiple cameras because the three ports support gigabit transfer rates. The NSR-25 is equipped with one network port supporting gigabit transfer rates.

Large-capacity hard disks allow recording for long periods of time

The NSR is equipped with large-capacity hard disks. The NSR-100 can record up to approximately 920 GB 460 GB

of data, and the NSR-25 can record up to approximately 230GB1) of data. For example, if you record images from 16 cameras at 1 fps one frame equals about 31 KB) with the NSR-100, you can record approximately a month’s worth of images (15 hours a day)

1) Includes the database capacity managed by the internal software.

2) fps: frames per second.

3) When set to RAID 0.

of data, the NSR-50 can record up to approximately

(VGA, JPEG;

Slim type (2U), space-saving 19-inch rack mounting model

With the optional rack mounting kit (sold separately), the recorder can be installed in a standard universal pitch EIA 19-inch rack.

High-resolution up to 480 fps (VGA, JPEG) recording

The NSR-100 can support up to 64 cameras, the NSR-50 can support up to 32 cameras, and the NSR-25 can support up to 20 cameras images at a total frame rate of 480 fps

(240 fps with the NSR-50, 120 fps with

. The NSR-100 records

the NSR-25), VGA (640 × 480 pixels) resolution, JPEG (1 frame approx. 31 KB) image format, for a crisp image quality.

1) For cameras that support image sizes of 1,280 × 960 pixels or more, the NSR-100 can

support up to 8 cameras, and the NSR-50/NSR-25 can support up to 4 cameras.

2) Maximum frame rate when 16 cameras are connected to the recorder. Each camera

has a frame rate of approximately 30 fps. This frame rate may become less because of fragmentation on the internal hard disks. Values are based on Sony measurements. These values are not guaranteed, as performance may change due to the user’s operating environment.

High reliability

The NSR-100/50 offers high reliability through:

• NSR-100: RAID 0, 1+0, and 5

• NSR-50: spanning

and RAID 1 When used with a RAID 1, 1+0 or 5, the system can continue functioning even if one of the hard disks develops a malfunction. Similarly, because the system software and settings are stored on the internal flash memory of the NSR, if the system software develops a malfunction, lightning-quick restoration of the system is possible. The NSR also supports uninterruptible power supplies

(UPS)

1) Spanning: Function allowing several hard disks to be virtually seen as one.

2) Sony recommendation only.

, making them extremely reliable systems.

Chapter 1 Introduction

Notes

• When you use RAID 0 with the NSR-100, spanning with the NSR-50, or the

NSR-25 there is no data redundancy. Also, storage capacity varies according with the RAID level.

• RAID is not available for the NSR-25.

Easy monitoring operation by remote control

In addition to using your keyboard and mouse to operate the NSR, but you can also use the joystick and buttons of the optional RM-NS10 remote control unit. Furthermore, the screen layout is based on equally split screen segments, and can be used seamlessly with a conventional recorder.

Note

You will need to use your keyboard and mouse to make initial NSR settings.

Other features

• You can monitor, record, play back, and operate images from cameras that

support 1,280 × 960 pixel size.

• You can display the images from up to 64 cameras (8 × 8 images) on one

screen.

• The NSR is capable of manual, scheduled, and alarm recording, among others.

• The NSR is equipped with a motion detection function

(Video Motion

Detection (Recorder)).

• Run searches for recorded images by camera name, date, alarm, and other

methods.

• Create privacy zones by using the dynamic masking functions

. Dynamic

masking covers pan, tilt, and zoom.

• Precise alarm processing is made possible by performing the various types of

filtering

that use the image processing results sent from the camera in the form of object information metadata. Because filtering can be applied to metadata that has already been recorded, you can also search for areas of interest after recording is finished.

• With an internal drive, the NSR-100/50 is capable of writing data to DVD-R, DVD+R, or CD-R/RW media. The NSR-25 is capable of writing data to CD-R/RW media.

• Audio recording and playback

1) Some functions are limited depending on the number of cameras connected.

2) Some functions are limited depending on which camera models are connected.

3) To perform motion detection and object detection using metadata, a camera that

supports motion detection by metadata is required. The use of metadata is supported for up to 32 cameras.

4) The optional active speakers are required.

are also supported for compatible cameras.
