other systems such as access control, building management, and industrial control. This allows 
users to manage video and other building controls through a single program and user interface. 

For more on servers and storage, see Chapter 12.

Figure 11.1a  A network video surveillance system based on a open, PC server platform with AXIS Camera Station video 
management software.

11.1.2  NVR platform

A network video recorder comes as a hardware box with preinstalled video management func-
tionalities. In this sense, an NVR is similar to a DVR. (Some DVRs, often called hybrid DVRs, also 
include an NVR function; i.e., the ability to also record network-based video.) 

An NVR hardware is often proprietary and specifically designed for video management. It is 
dedicated to its specific tasks of recording, analyzing and playing back network video, and often 
does  not  allow  for  any  other  applications  to  reside  on  them.  The  operating  system  can  be 
Windows, UNIX/Linux or proprietary. 

An NVR is designed to offer optimal performance for up to a set number of cameras, and is 
normally less scalable than a PC server-based system. This makes the unit suitable for smaller
