Network Video Recorders

Functionally similar to a DVR, a NVR also accepts IP camera inputs. NVRs can be software based, making them suitable only for accepting IP camera streams over the Internet. An NVR typically consists of a PC or Server, with onboard CPU, RAM, Operating System (Typically Windows) and local Hard Drive storage on which video streams from surveillance cameras is archived. Some examples of NVR software packages include Milestone Systems, Axis Camera Station and Luxriot.
