video data stream by connecting the device directly or using stream media server, save these data 

in pre-allocated disc spaces in the data block form, and save the recording file information by the 

disc‘s data index files. This software has VOD Server inside, and provides the interface for remote 

searching, so it is convenient to playback particular recordings remotely

1. The distributed clients run at different places on the network. The NVR Server realizes the 

centralized management of the live surveillance video

2. The NVR Server provides recording service when DVR devices have no HD

.  

 

As a part of a network surveillance system, the NVR Server has only a few functions, 

focusing on the centralized storage. It mainly has the following functions

1. Group the partitions. Manage the recording data by disc pre-allocation technology

2. Support the adjustment of basic running parameters of the Server

3. Set the recording plan with half an hour as the unit

4. Provide friendly management interface for the record plan

5. Have a VOD Server inside. Provide the remote search and VOD function for the recording
