1.3 Overview 

The razberi™ MP Series dramatically simplifies and reduces the costs of megapixel video deployment. The razberi™ plug-
and-play operation enables installers with minimal network expertise to deploy an IP video system in the same or less time 
required for a traditional DVR and analog camera deployment. 

 

The razberi™ MP Series combines the functions of a network video recorder, high powered Ethernet switch, and video 
management software with “auto setup” features into a single device. The razberi™ automatically provides power (high 
PoE) and IP addresses, configures cameras for motion detection, and automatically begins recording. For smaller systems, 
there is no need for installers to source switches, routers, software, and servers. 
Installers can use multiple razberi™ units within a network to build large systems over long distances with fiber optics using 
the built-in SFP Combo Uplink Ports. 

 

The easy-to-use razberi™ software offers digital zoom, camera tours, PTZ control, and intelligent video searches to quickly 
retrieve recorded events through thumbnail and event searches. There is no software licensing. Automatic software updates 
offer new software features over the web.
