QN00720 | QNAP Systems VS-2008L Network Storage Device w. 8-Channel Network Video Recorder

 

Affordable 8-channel / 2-bay Lite NVR for SOHO & Home

 

 

The VS-2008L VioStor NVR is the 2-bay network surveillance system for home and SOHO security applications. The Linux-based system supports 8-channel H.264, MPEG-4, and M-JPEG recording from ONVIF-compliant IP cameras and surveillance devices from AXIS, ACTi, A-MTK, Arecont Vision, AVTECH, Brickcom, Canon, Cisco, CNB, DIGITUS, D-Link, EDIMAX, ELMO, EtroVision, GANZ, Honeywell, iPUX, IPX, IQeye, LevelOne, Linksys, Messoa, MOBOTIX, NAKAYO, Panasonic BB/BL/i-Pro, Pelco, SANYO, SHANY, SONY, TOA, TOSHIBA, TRENDnet, Videosec, VIOSECURE, VIVOTEK, and Y-CAM.

The unique multi-server monitoring feature of the VioStor NVR allows monitoring of up to 128 IP cameras from multiple QNAP NVR servers at the same time. No extra software is required. Instant alarm icon will be shown and the alarm channel will be highlighted to inform the administrator immediately if an event occurs.

The VioStor NVR supports diversified recording features, such as scheduled recording, alarm recording by multiple alarm events, alarm recording schedule, and pre-alarm and post-alarm recordings. Advanced event management is provided for the administrator to define the handling options when events or alarms are triggered. The VioStor NVR also offers enhanced video search by intelligent video analytics (IVA), such as motion detection, foreign object, missing object, out of focus, and camera occlusion. Moreover, you can use the video surveillance application "VMobile" to monitor the IP cameras with your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, and Windows PDA phones anytime, anywhere.

High Quality H.264, MPEG-4, and M-JPEG Recording (depending on the camera models)

 

 

• Alarm recording (by multiple events), alarm recording schedule*
• Pre-alarm and post-alarm recording
• Audio recording
  * You can set different recording schedules for different cameras.

 

Administrators now can flexibly define multiple video streams (supported by specific camera models) according to bandwidth resources and number of live-view channels. The adjustable video stream setting helps improve the displaying quality of live-view and well manage the bandwidth resources based on different usage requirements.

 

The VioStor NVR automatically selects video streams from IP cameras for different recording scenarios. In normal situation, video recording maintains at lower quality resolution. While the alarm event happens, video recording switches to high quality resolution to capture more details. In other words, smart recording effectively avoids the constant storage consumption at all time, but achieves greater storage efficiency and boost recording quality when alarm events happen.

VioStor NVR provides an interface for the users to enter the JPEG CGI command of their IP cameras to retrieve the video and audio data from the IP cameras.

 

You can connect to one VioStor NVR and monitor up to 128 channels from other VioStor NVR servers over LAN or WAN by an IE browser.

 

 

 

 

You can adjust the PTZ cameras directly by the web user interface of VioStor NVR.

 

 

You can view the preset positions of an IP camera by clicking the corresponding number buttons on the monitoring page. You can also choose the preset positions and configure the time interval on the PTZ cameras for periodic monitoring.

 

 

When alarm recording is enabled and an event occurs, an alarm icon is shown instantly on the monitoring page. You can click the icon to view the alert details.

 

 

You can zoom in or zoom out the video image on the monitoring and playback interfaces.

 

 

VioStor NVR provides exclusive E-map function for users to upload the pictures of the monitoring locations.

 

 

You can use the multi-view playback feature to divide a video equally into multiple sessions for playback in a multi-view window, or play the videos of multiple IP cameras in the multi-view window simultaneously.

Video Search by Date and Time, Timeline, Event, Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA)

VioStor NVR supports quick video search by date and time, timeline, event, and intelligent video analytics (IVA), including motion detection, foreign object, missing object, out of focus, and camera occlusion.
 

How to use intelligent video analytics on playback

 

 

VioStor NVR supports digital watermarking to protect the exported videos and snapshots from unauthorized modification. You can use the Watermark Proof utility to verify whether or not the videos and snapshots are original.

 

 

 

 

You can configure the SMTP server and SMSC server settings on the NVR in order to receive instant system warning or error messages by email and/or SMS.

VioStor NVR provides surveillance storage expansion solution which enables users to leverage the Turbo NAS storage capacity. By installing the StorageExpansion QPKG in the Turbo NAS, administrators can connect the VioStor NVR with the Turbo NAS to flexibly enlarge the total surveillance storage. (Please visit Download Center to download StorageExpansion QPKG.)

 

Scheduled Remote Replication

VioStor NVR supports scheduled remote replication for secure data backup to a remote QNAP NAS on the local network.

 

You can configure the one-touch-auto-video-backup button on the front of the NVR to copy the data from the NVR to an external storage device when the button is pressed.

 

 

 

You can create multiple users on VioStor NVR. The users created on the NVR can be assigned to different user groups (administrator/system manager/user) with different rights of monitoring, playback, PTZ control, and audio monitoring.

 

VioStor NVR supports automatic user logoff from idling configuration pages. The administrator can set the timeout period to log off the users when the idling time has reached.

 

 

You can specify the host or IP connections to be allowed and denied to access NVR.

 

 

You can view the record of users currently logged on and previously logged on to the NVR.

 

 

VioStor NVR provides detailed event logs of system warning, hard disk error, network disconnection, UPS status, users' networking services and recordings access record.

 

VioStor NVR supports RAID 0, 1, single, and JBOD disk configurations.

Online RAID Capacity Expansion and Online RAID Level Migration

 

 

The storage capacity of a RAID configuration can be expanded by replacing the hard drives with larger ones. All the data will be kept and seamlessly moved to the newly installed hard drives. There is no need to turn off the server during the process.

 

 

You can upgrade the disk configuration to higher RAID level with the data retained without turning off the server.

 

 

S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) helps you monitor the hard disk drives status. VioStor NVR supports HHS (HDD Health Scan) for disk checking and bad blocks scanning.

 

 

VioStor NVR supports automatic power-on when power resumes after power outage.

 

VioStor NVR supports APC, CyberPower, and MGE UPS devices to provide continuous services 24/7 against unexpected power outage.

 

VioStor NVR supports dynamic DNS (DDNS). You can register a unique domain name from a DDNS service provider and assign it to your NVR.

 

 

You can enable this feature to allow the connected IP cameras to synchronize their date and time settings with the NVR.

 

 

 

 

The video data of VioStor NVR can be accessed by the following protocols with proper access rights:

 

 

You can set up the NVR easily in simple steps by the local display and web-based interface.

 

All system configurations, monitoring, and playback can be finished by the web-based interface.

 

QNAP provides an intelligent software utility Finder for quick IP camera search and system settings.
