Chapter 1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the 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-
401 and NVR-420), 8 (for NVR-810), 16 (for NVR-1610) 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.
