What is a NVR?

A Network Video Recorder (NVR) is a video recorder that is connected to your computer network and records video footage from the IP cameras also connected to that network. It allows you to manage an IP camera system via existing computers and IT hardware.

A NVR is different from a network-capable DVR in that a DVR is for use with analogue CCTV cameras that must be physically connected to the DVR itself, whilst a NVR is for use with IP cameras and records video from the cameras via the network without need of a direct connection between the IP cameras and recording device.
