Sony NSR-500-4T, NSR-500 Specsheet

NSR-500

Network Surveillance Recording Server

The NSR-500 is Sony’s 16-channel full-HD network
surveillance recording server delivering an excellent
cost-performance ratio.
Six models with different storage capacities are
available, so you can select according to your precise
requirements.

FEATURES

n Long-duration Recording

With a 12 TB HDD (2 TB x 6), you can record more than
300 hours of high-quality full-HD images compressed at
4 Mbps with a frame rate of 30 fps.

n RAID Technology to Prevent Disk-failure Data Loss

The hard disk storage units of the NSR-500 are
configured with high redundancy.
They feature RAID implementations and hotswappable
capabilities to protect important data against hard
disk failure, 24 hours a day. You can choose from RAID
1 (1+0), RAID 5 or RAID 5 + Hot Spare, depending on
your system requirements.

n Optional Licenses for Future System Expansion

The optional NSBK-CL05 allows you to add extra
licenses, and you can connect up to 24 network
cameras to a single NSR-500 (including the original
16 cameras).

n Easy Setup and Easy Operation

The NSR-500 detects Sony’s network cameras in a
network and sets up all the parameters of each
camera in a step-by-step manner with a dedicated
setup wizard. This drastically reduces the time required
for system installation. Images from cameras are
assigned automatically to a monitor layout menu, so
that you can start monitoring instantly.

n Backward System Compatibility

The NSR-500 can be used with Sony’s existing recording
systems such as the NSR-1000 Series, and RealShot™
Manager Advanced, through the RealShot Manager
Advanced client, whose software can be downloaded
from the NSR-500.
