System Requirements

5

High reliability
The NSR-100/50 performs high reliability through:
• NSR-100: RAID 0, 1+0, and 5
• NSR-50: spanning* and RAID 1
When used with a RAID 1, 1+0 or 5, the system can 
continue functioning even if one of the hard disks develops 
a malfunction. Similarly, because the system software and 
settings are stored on the internal flash memory of the 
NSR, if the system software develops a malfunction, 
lightning-quick restoration of the system is possible. The 
NSR also supports uninterruptible power supplies 
(UPS)**, making them extremely reliable systems.

* Spanning: Function allowing several hard disks to be 

virtually seen as one.

** Sony recommendation only.

• When you use RAID 0 with the NSR-100 or spanning 

with the NSR-50, there is no data redundancy. Also, 
storage capacity varies according with the RAID level.

• RAID is not available for the NSR-25.

Other features
• You can display the images from up to 64 cameras 

(8 

× 8 images) on one screen.

• The NSR is capable of manual, scheduled, and alarm 

recording, among others.

• The NSR is equipped with a motion detection 

function

1)

 (Video Motion Detection (Recorder)).

• Run searches for recorded images by camera name, 

date, alarm, and other methods.

• Create privacy zones by using the dynamic masking 

functions

2)

. Dynamic masking covers pan, tilt, and 

zoom.

• Precise alarm processing is made possible by 

performing the various types of filtering

3)

 that use the 

image processing results sent from the camera in the 
form of object information metadata. Because filtering 
can be applied to metadata that has already been 
recorded, you can also search for areas of interest after 
recording is finished.

• Audio recording and playback

4)

 are also supported 

from compatible cameras.

1) Some functions are limited depending on the number of 

cameras connected.

2) Some functions are limited depending on which camera 

models are connected.

3) To perform motion detection and object detection using 

metadata, a camera that supports motion detection by 
metadata is required. The use of metadata is supported for 
up to 32 cameras.

4) The optional active speakers are required.

This manual only describes how to install and configure

recorder, refer to the “User’s Guide” (PDF) on the 
supplied “NSR Series Manual, Tool & Source Codes CD”.
