System Requirements

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.

Notes

• 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.

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
