Overview

The NSR series is a hard disk recording server for network cameras. The NSR allows you to monitor and record network camera images (JPEG or MPEG-4). It also allows you to play back the recorded images and search through it, making the NSR a truly versatile monitoring system.

Overview
Control compatible cameras from remote locations
You can pan, tilt, and perform zoom operations of compatible cameras.
Compatible with analog cameras
You can monitor and record images from analog cameras by connecting them directly to the unit
1) The NSR-1200/1100 requires an NSBK-A16 (optional) expansion, while the NSR-1050H has a built-in connector.
1)
.
High reliability
The NSR-1200 supports RAID 5
1)
and peforms with high reliability. 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)
2)
, making them extremely reliable
systems.
Chapter 1 Introduction
Large-capacity hard disks allow recording for long periods of time
Equipped with large-capacity hard disks, the unit is capable recording high-quality images for extended periods of time. For reference examples, see “Reference Data for Installation” (page 11).
Slim type (2U), space-saving 19-inch rack mounting model
With the optional rack mounting kit (sold separately), the unit can be installed in a standard universal pitch EIA 19­inch rack.
High-resolution up to 480 fps (VGA, JPEG) recording
The NSR-1200 can support up to 64 cameras, the NSR­1100 can support up to 32 cameras, and the NSR-1050H can support up to 20 cameras. The NSR-1200 records images at a total frame rate of 480 fps NSR-1100, 120 fps with the NSR-1050H) in VGA resolution (640 × 480 pixels)
2)
and JPEG image format (1
1)
(240 fps with the
frame about 31 KB) for a crisp image quality.
1) 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.
2) In QuadVGA resolution (1,280 × 960), the frame rate is 1/4 that of VGA resolution.
1) RAID 5 is a system for dividing and storing data and parity (error correcting codes) onto more than one hard disk drive. Although this system allows continued operation should one of the hard disks malfunction, it does not guarantee restoration of lost data. In addition, due to high internal processing loads during reconstruction after you replace the malfunctioned hard disk, the unit may not be able to record images at the configured recording rate while reconstruction is in progress.
2) If the power turns off suddenly during operation, the data may be corrupted. In particular, when using the unit together with an NSRE-S200 or other expansion storage, use a UPS.
Other features
• 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.
• Audio recording and playback
4)
are also supported from
compatible cameras.
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) Optional audio amplifiers or speakers are required.

L Vent holes
These openings allow air to flow from the front of the NSR to the rear. Do not block the vent holes, allow dust to accumulate in the inner mesh of the vent holes, or obstruct the airflow in any way. Obstructing the airflow allows heat to build up inside the NSR and may result in fire or damage.
