Each NVR can record video and audio from up to 64 cameras and playback up to 20 video streams at full frame rate simultaneously. Models are available with different storage capacities from either integrated fixed disks or hot-swappable removable drives. All the NVRs use hard drive technology from Seagate. Each disk drive has a five year warranty.
 
The high-performance specification of the NVRs, coupled with IndigoVision’s compression technology means that each NVR can record both MPEG-4 and H.264 video from multiple cameras for long periods of time. For example, a single NVR-AS 3000 can record H.264 video from 32 cameras continuously at 4SIF, full frame rate, based on moderate motion levels for 50 days.
 
The 3000 range is based on a LINUX architecture and provides high-levels of redundancy. The new models can be configured to have RAID zero, RAID one or RAID five disks and all have redundant network connections and internal power supplies with redundant power connectors. Using ”˜Control Center’, IndigoVision’s Security Management Software, users can implement advanced redundancy strategies. NVRs can be configured to work as failover backups and mirrors for primary NVRs. The backup NVR can continuously record the same video in parallel as the primary NVR or automatically takeover recording if the primary NVR fails.
 
Alongside the NVR-AS 3000, IndigoVision is also launching the Compact NVR. Based on the same technology, the Compact NVR is designed for smaller applications such as retail outlets and commercial premises. The unit allows 20 cameras to be recorded and played back at the same time and consists of a single removable drive for easy archive or securing of evidence. The Compact NVR is smaller in size than the NVR-AS 3000 and can be mounted horizontally or vertically.
