The NXP NVR supports live view, recording and playback, and remote management and control of IP cameras.

The NXP supports plug and play for Speco’s IP cameras. If a camera is connected to one of the PoE ports that are built into the back of the NVR, it will auto populate on the designated channel without any additional setup. Once the unit is set up, it can be accessed over the network through: 1) a web browser for quick viewing, playback, and setup and 2) SecureGuard® VMS, which provides a robust solution for viewing multiple devices simultaneously and redundancy.
