Hardware Design

Intel Atom CPU and 1 GB DDRII Memory

The NVR, powered by Intel Atom CPU and 1 GB DDRII memory, offers high performance for surveillance applications.

Linux Embedded System with Low Power Consumption

The NVR saves more power than PC-based surveillance solutions.

Power Consumption

Smart Fan

The fan rotation speed is automatically adjusted as per the server's temperature. The system temperatures can be defined to trigger high speed or low speed rotation of the fan.

Dual Gigabit LAN Ports

Two Gigabit LAN ports are available for load balancing, failover, or multi-IP setting.

2 High-speed SATA Hard Drives

Up to 4 TB Storage Capacity for Long-term Recording

The NVR offers a storage capacity of up to 4 TB.

DOM Architecture with Embedded Fail-safe Dual OS

The OS and all the applications are embedded on the DOM. Since the NVR allows the system to boot without accessing the physical disk sectors, system startup is not interrupted due to any bad block sectors or file errors on the hard drives. Two operating systems offer alternative system booting options upon every system startup. If one fails, the other one will be used to boot up instead. The failed OS is recoverable from the other healthy OS.

Lockable HDD Tray

The physical hard drives are protected by lockable HDD trays.

The existing hard drives can be replaced by larger ones in order to expand the storage capacity of a RAID configuration. You do not need to turn off the server for this purpose.

Online RAID Level Migration

You can upgrade the disk configuration to higher RAID level with the data retained and without the server needing to be turned off.

S.M.A.R.T. & Advanced HDD Health Scanning (HHS)

The hard disk status can be monitored with the Hard Disk Drive S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology). The HHS Technology supports disk checking and bad blocks scanning.
