Network Video Recorder (NVR)
An NVR is a network-attached recorder — management software, computer and hard disk in one box — for IP cameras. Because everything runs over the network, the recorder can sit anywhere on the same LAN as the cameras rather than beside them.
What You Get
- Connects multiple IP cameras over the LAN.
- Records to a schedule, or on an alarm condition such as motion detection.
- Install and manage the cameras from the recorder itself.
- An integrated NVR, or video management software on a Windows machine.
- Placed anywhere on the same network as the cameras.
Power Over Ethernet
Most NVRs we fit have PoE ports built in, which means each camera needs one Ethernet cable and nothing else. That single cable carries the video and the power together, so there is no separate adaptor at the camera end and no need for a socket anywhere near it.
It makes a real difference on a first-floor soffit or a boundary wall, where getting mains power to the camera would otherwise be the hardest part of the job. It also means a single UPS at the recorder keeps every camera running through a power cut, rather than needing one at each position.
Channels, Storage And Room To Grow
Channel count is the number of cameras the recorder will take, and it is worth buying above your current count. Adding a ninth camera to an eight-channel NVR means replacing the recorder, which costs far more than the two spare channels would have.
Storage works the same way as on a DVR: bay count and disk size set how long footage is kept, and higher resolution eats it faster. A 4K camera writes roughly four times what a Full HD one does, so a system specified for 4K needs the disks planned for it from the start rather than added later.
Installed Across Sonipat
We install NVR-based IP systems throughout Sonipat and across Haryana, for offices, institutions and factory premises where a network is already in place. Because the recorder only needs to be on the same network as the cameras, it can sit in a server room or a locked cupboard rather than on display in reception.
Common Questions
How many cameras can one NVR handle?
Common sizes are 4, 8, 16 and 32 channels, and larger units exist. Specify above your current camera count, because going past the channel limit means replacing the recorder rather than adding to it.
Do I need Power over Ethernet?
Not strictly, but it saves a great deal of work. With PoE each camera needs one network cable and no local power supply, which matters most in the awkward positions where a camera is actually useful.
What happens if the network goes down?
Cameras on a PoE switch keep talking to the recorder over the local network even with no internet, so recording continues normally. What you lose while the connection is down is remote viewing from your phone, not the footage.
