Live Monitoring

24/7 Live Monitoring can be achieved by connecting the NVR console output to Professional display screens or LED Monitors as per site requirements. Monitoring over LAN can be done via VMS software typically at the reception desk. Remote monitoring at a different geographical location can be done over the Internet with suitable bandwidth either via VMS software / Web Browser.

Data recording

As per organization policy/audit norms organizations dealing with financial transactions mandate continuous data recording. To achieve the same need to provision NVRs with the higher number of storage bays and hard drives. Motion-based data recording Technology performs write operations to the disk only when there is Movement / Motion detected. This saves substantial disk space from an Installation perspective. Ensure that motion detection is set up at high sensitivity and ensure pre and post-recording of 60 Seconds.

Conclusion:

CCTV Systems form a very essential requirement for Today’s Commercial Buildings.
