Long-duration Recording
With a 12-TB HDD (2-TB x 6), you can record more than 300 
hours of high-quality Full-HD images of 16 channels 
compressed at 4 Mbps with a frame rate of 30 fps.
RAID Technology to  
prevent Disk-failure Data Loss
The hard disk storage units of the NSR-500 are configured 
with high redundancy.
They feature RAID implementations and hot-swappable 
capabilities to protect important data against hard disk 
failure, 24 hours a day. You can choose from RAID 0, RAID 1, 
RAID 10 (1+0), RAID 5, or RAID 5 + Hot Spare, depending on 
your system requirements.
Ideal Replacement for  
Existing Digital Video Recorders
With the optional NSBK-EB05 Analog Encoder Board, the  
NSR-500 can replace digital video recorders (DVRs) in a 
CCTV surveillance system, which can be used with existing 
analog cameras.
The NSR-500 is a relatively small investment, equivalent to a 
DVR purchase, yet it provides you with the opportunity to 
gradually migrate to a network surveillance system in future.
Optional Licenses for Future System Expansion
The optional NSBK-CL05 allows you to add extra licenses, and 
you can connect up to 24 network cameras to a single  
NSR-500 (including the original 16 cameras).

Easy Setup and Easy Operation
The NSR-500 detects Sony’s network cameras in a network 
and sets up all the parameters of each camera in a  
step-by-step manner with a dedicated setup wizard.
This drastically reduces the time required for system 
installation. Images from cameras are assigned automatically 
to a monitor layout menu, so that you can start monitoring 
instantly.
Backward System Compatibility
The NSR-500 can be used with Sony’s existing recording 
systems such as the NSR-1000 Series, and RealShot Manager 
Advanced, through the RealShot Manager Advanced client - 
software that can be downloaded from the NSR-500.
