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.

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
1)
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.
1)
of data, the NSR-50 can record up to approximately
2)
(VGA, JPEG;
3)
.
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
2)
(240 fps with the NSR-50, 120 fps with
1)
. 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
1)
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
2)
(UPS)
1) Spanning: Function allowing several hard disks to be virtually seen as one.
2) Sony recommendation only.
, making them extremely reliable systems.

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
1)
(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
2)
. Dynamic
masking covers pan, tilt, and zoom.
• Precise alarm processing is made possible by performing the various types of
filtering
3)
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.
4)
are also supported for compatible cameras.

Caution
When using NTP settings, pay attention to the following:
• When performing time synchronization with an NTP server, you must
restart the NSR after selecting the [Synchronize with NTP Server] check
box on the “Main” screen. In addition, the NTP server must be running
normally when the NSR is restarted.
• If the NTP settings on the NSR are enabled and DHCP is used to acquire
the NSR address, the NTP server information provided by the DHCP
server on the same network as the NSR is given priority over the NTP
server information set with the NSR.
• Once you set the time on the NSR manually, time synchronization with
an NTP server may no longer be possible.
• We recommend configuring the NTP settings from the “Main” screen,
even though configuring them from the Setup Menu may sometimes
result in the [Enable NTP Server] check box on the “Main” screen being
selected.
• When the [Synchronize with NTP Server] checkbox is cleared, “0.0.0.0”
is entered in the [Address] field.

Caution
• When setting “Cleanup,” make sure to estimate how much capacity is

• When multiple overwrite settings are configured for a storage location,
deletion may be biased toward a particular camera on the storage

Page 92
location. We strongly recommend that you either configure a single
overwrite setting, or that you estimate, in advance, the capacity you will
use, based on the image size and required storage period specified for the
camera, and configure the deletion settings for recordings accordingly.
• When the recorded data of normal recordings is overwritten, multiple
files in a single record are deleted at once. This may cause all the files of
a particular camera to be deleted at once. By configuring the following
settings, you can ensure that data from multiple cameras is deleted more
uniformly.
- In a recurrent schedule for normal recording, insert at least one second
of blank space per day.
Ex.) Start time: 00:00:00 End time: 23:59:59
Notes
• If the recording capacity of the built-in hard disk is insufficient, you can
expand it with external storage. For details about storage expansion,
contact your dealer.
• The following storage locations are defined by the NSR and cannot be
deleted.
- Default
-Alarm
- Manual
-Normal
The above four storage locations are actually located in the same partition
but in different directories (folders). As a result, the capacity and total
size of these storage locations are all the same, but deleting and
overwriting are performed independently for each directory (folder).
• For NSR storage locations, you can configure the main settings related to
deletion and overwriting of recordings, and set the storage period for
each type of recorded image. However, it is not possible to assign a
capacity to each storage location.
• The Default location is the default save location for each camera. To set
different save locations for each camera, you can use the storage settings
in “Main” under “Camera” on the Configuration screen.
Four storage setting examples are provided below. Select a storage location
according to your objective and the recording type selected in the camera
storage settings.
Examples:
Default : Delete -disable, data overwrite-enable (20%)
Alarm : Delete -enable (30%, 366 days), data overwrite -disable
Manual : Delete -enable (40%, 7 days), data overwrite - disable
Normal : Delete -enable (50%, 31 days), data overwrite - disable
Descriptions:
Default : When the remaining capacity for the storage location reaches
20% or below, recorded images are deleted in order, starting
from the oldest images.
Select this storage location when you have ample storage
capacity remaining.
Alarm : When the remaining capacity for the storage location reaches
30% or below, recorded images that are at least one year old
are deleted.
Recorded images that are less than a year old are never deleted.
Select this storage location for recorded images that you wish
to keep for at least one year.

You can configure the advanced settings of cameras managed by the NSR and
register new cameras.
There are the following two ways to register a camera.
• Specify the IP address or host name of the camera.
• Detect cameras on the network automatically and then register multiple
cameras. (This method can only be used for cameras on the same network
segment as the NSR.)
You can also set IP addresses before you detect cameras automatically and
register multiple cameras.
Setting IP Addresses after Detecting Cameras Automatically (Camera IP Setup)
After automatic detection, you can set the IP addresses for the cameras.
After setting the IP addresses, you can switch to the [Register Multiple
Cameras] screen to register multiple cameras simultaneously.
Caution
You can also change the IP addresses of cameras already registered on the NSR,
but the corresponding address settings ([Main] settings of the [Camera] screen)
must then be updated manually in the registration information on the NSR. If
the settings are not updated, the NSR will no longer be able to connect to the
cameras.
