VIDOS‑NVR provides a long-term storage and retrieval
solution for video and audio as part of a Video IP
installation. Comprised of three key components;
management software, a server platform, and RAID 5
storage, VIDOS-NVR scales to handle an unlimited number
of cameras and users.
VIDOS-NVR receives MPEG-4 and MPEG-2 video across the
network from Video IP encoders including the VIP and
VideoJet range. Because VIDOS-NVR is network-based, it
is fundamentally different from conventional digital video
recorders (DVRs) and video cassette recorders (VCRs).
NVRs can be securely positioned anywhere on the
network, whereas DVRs and VCRs are colocated where
the coax from the cameras terminates. A VIDOS-NVR
server has a single gigabit ethernet connection coming in,
whereas DVRs and VCRs have one connection for each
camera input. This simplification in cabling is a major
driver in the adoption of network-based video.
Automatic Network Replenishment technology (ANR;
patent pending) ensures that there is no video loss during
network interruption. In some facilities, network outages
are a real concern; video loss for even a moment is
unacceptable.

When part of a network carrying video is exposed (as in
wireless across a parking lot, or along a highway or train
track), the probability of network failure or excessive
noise may be even higher. In this setting, VIDOS-NVR
tracks every encoder, noting any lapses. Though the
encoder is out of reach, it is still recording video locally,
either on a compact flash card (VideoJet 10), or on an
internal hard drive (VideoJet 8000/8008). When
communication is restored, the encoder resumes live
transmission and replenishes the gap in the video on the
NVR server.
The VIDOS-NVR management software is available per
NVR server in three versions; 16, 32, or 64 channel
licenses, depending on the number of cameras being
recorded. This software is used to configure each NVR
server, and once installation and setup are complete,
VIDOS-NVR runs seamlessly in the background to manage
the connections, access and storage.
VIDOS-NVR has been tested for compatibility with the 19
in. rack-mountable VIDOS-NVR server. This server
guarantees high performance and reliability (license
purchased separately).
Each VIDOS-NVR server streams incoming video and audio
to one or two RAID 5 disk arrays for storage. The 19 in.
rack-mountable disk arrays are available in various sizes,
ranging from 960 GB to 6.4 TB, and from 6 to 16 hot-
swappable hard drives. This offers weeks or months of
archived video depending on the system configuration.
