Chapter 1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing PLANET 4/8/16/32-Ch Network Video Recorder. The
Network Video Recorder is designed for use within a surveillance system, and
performs recordings and playbacks pictures from network cameras in the system.
It is a recording device using a hard disk drive to record camera pictures instead
of using video tapes so that pictures recorded by repeated overwriting will not
experience deterioration of the recorded picture quality. Up to 4 (for NVR-420), 8
(for NVR-810 and NVR-820), 16 (for NVR-1610 and NVR-1620) and 32 (for NVR-
3210 and NVR-3250) cameras can be connected via a network and it is possible
to record their camera pictures. It is possible to perform the settings or operate
the NVR using a web browser installed on a PC connected to a network, or remote
controller. Recorded video can be played back from remote site by a PC. Up to 4
PCs (web browsers) can access this unit concurrently and it is possible to perform
the settings and operate this unit. The NVR is compatible with most major brand
cameras and its ability to automatically search and find the available cameras on
the network can greatly reduce the user effort when expanding the system.
