Network Video Recorders

The brain of an IP camera system. An NVR receives the video stream from every IP camera over the network, stores it on internal hard drives, and serves it to viewing clients (monitor, phone app, PC). Choose the channel count to match your camera count, and pick a PoE model if you want the NVR to also power the cameras through the network cable.
