What is Hikvision NVR?

Home/Blog/What is Hikvision NVR?

What is a NVR?

A network video recorder (NVR) is a specialized computer system that that records video in a digital format to a hard disk, mass storage device or cloud storage. An NVR is commonly deployed in an Internet Protocol (IP) cameras system.

NVRs are often mistaken as DVRs, but they are different. A NVR input is from a network rather than a direct connection to a video capture card or tuner. Video on a DVR is encoded and processed at the DVR, while video on an NVR is encoded and processed at the camera, then transferred to the NVR for storage or remote viewing. Additional processing may be done at the NVR, such as further compression or tagging with metadata.

NVR home surveillance systems are generally wireless, tend to be easy to set up, can be accessed through remotely, and allow the user to be notified if an customized alarm is triggered in response to certain activity.

NVRs come in various sizes. Typically you will see these systems in 4, 8, 16 and 32 channel. Having 16 channels means it allows 16 cameras recording on one system. Most people tend to choose these recorders because of the large capacity of camera channels and growing room they can use.

How much storage you need for DVR/NVR?2023-08-23T02:10:06+00:00

The amount of storage needed for a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) depends on several factors, including the resolution and quality of the video being recorded, the number of cameras connected to the DVR, the frame rate at which the video is recorded, and the duration for which you want to retain the recorded footage. Here’s a general guideline to help you estimate the storage requirements:

1. Resolution and Quality: Higher resolutions like 1080p or 4K require more storage space than lower resolutions. Higher video quality also requires more storage.

2. Number of Cameras: The more cameras you have connected to the DVR, the more storage space you’ll need to accommodate all the video streams.

3. Frame Rate: The frame rate at which the video is recorded affects storage needs. Higher frame rates result in smoother video but also require more storage.

4. Retention Period: Consider how long you want to retain the recorded footage. The longer you want to keep the footage, the more storage space you’ll need.

5. Compression: Many DVR systems use video compression techniques to reduce the amount of storage needed. Different compression methods have varying levels of effectiveness.

You may download and refer to our matrix here.

It’s important to note that this is a basic estimation, and actual storage needs can vary based on the specific equipment, settings, and usage patterns. It’s recommended to consult with a security system professional to determine the most suitable storage capacity for your specific requirements.

What is H.264 and what is H.265?2023-08-23T01:35:36+00:00

H.264, referred to as Advanced Video Coding (AVC), emerged in 2003 as a video codec. Presently, several video streaming platforms, like YouTube and Netflix, make use of this codec. H.264 was crafted to deliver superior video compression with minimal data usage, making it well-suited for online video streaming.

H.265, recognized as High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), made its debut in 2013 as a video codec. It follows in the footsteps of H.264 and aims to offer enhanced video compression without compromising video quality. H.265 can achieve a compression improvement of up to 50% compared to H.264, making it particularly advantageous for high-resolution video formats.

While both possess potent capabilities for generating top-notch results, they exhibit differences. The primary distinction between H.265 and H.264 lies in their compression efficiency. H.265 can attain a compression improvement of up to 50% compared to H.264, implying that it can convey video of identical quality while utilizing less bandwidth or storage space. This characteristic renders H.265 particularly well-suited for demanding video formats like 4K and 8K.

How to Control Analog Speed Dome by Pelco-D/P Protocol2022-08-15T08:23:17+00:00

How to Control Analog Speed Dome by Pelco-D/P Protocol

 

Preparation                                                                                           

Analog Speed Dome

DVR

Coaxial Cable

RS-485 Cable

 

How to Control Analog Speed Dome by Pelco-D/P Protocol

 

1.     Connect DVR and Analog PTZ Camera

1.1      Power on analog PTZ camera

The pigtails of analog speed dome (take speed dome for short in next contents) is shown in Figure 1-1, it includes three kinds of cables: coaxial cable, power cable and 485 cable (for PTZ control).

 

Figure 1-1 pigtail of analog PTZ camera

 

 

Connect power cable of speed dome and relative power adapter, as shown in Figure 1-2.

Note: Red cable is positive cable and black is negative one in the pigtail of speed dome power cable, yellow one represents ground(no need to connect), power cable of speed dome is self-adaptive, so you don’t need to concern the connect order.

 

Figure 1-2 Connect PTZ camera power cable and adapter cable

 

1.2      Connect PTZ camera and coaxial cable

Power on DVR, connect speed dome and DVR analog channel by coaxial cable.
Then you can see live view of speed dome on DVR as shown in Figure 1-3.

 

Figure 1-3 live view of speed dome on DVR

 

1.3      Connect 485 cable and speed dome

485 cables are two signal cables in a UTP cable. One should connect 485 pigtail of speed dome and DVR 485 port, take Figure 1-4 as example.

485 cable has polarity order, this is different from power cable connection.

2.     Parameters Configuration

2.1      Speed dome parameter configuration

The main parameter configuration of speed dome is the Baud rate and Address configuration, you can set these on OSD menu of speed dome.

2.1.1    Call OSD menu of speed dome

You can call OSD menu of speed dome by Menu bar or 95th preset.

Step-1: Click PTZ Control in DVR live view page, then enter PTZ control page, like Figure 2-1.

Figure 2-1 Click PTZ control in DVR live view page

Step 2: Click OSD menu on PTZ control page.

If you control speed dome using UTC PTZ protocol you can call OSD menu by click Menu bar like illustration in Figure 2-2.

Figure 2-2 Method-1: Call OSD menu by Menu bar (only work under UTC protocol)

If the PTZ protocol is not UTC, you should call 95th preset to call the OSD menu, like the operation in Figure 2-3.

Figure 2-3 Method-2: Call OSD menu by click 95th  preset (works for all protocols)

The OSD menu of speed dome is shown in Figure 2-4.

Figure 2-4 OSD menu of speed dome

 

2.1.2    Set the Baud Rate and Address of speed dome.

Enter the SYS SETTING in speed dome by steps illustrated from Figure 2-5 to Figure 2-7.

Figure 2-5 Enter SYS SETTINGS

Figure 2-6 Enter SYS INFO SETTING

Set Address and Baud rate of speed dome in Figure 2-7, also you should enable SOFT ADDR ACT and SOFT BAUD ACT. The soft address is valid address for connecting the speed dome when SOFT ADDR ACT is ON, the selectable soft address rage is from 0/1(Pelco-D/P) to 255. The soft baud rate is the valid baud rate for the speed dome when SOFT BAUD ACT. Is enabled, with 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19200 selectable.

Figure 2-7 Set BAUD Rate and Address parameters

 

2.2      DVR configuration

You can configure DVR parameters by both web and local side.

 

 

2.2.1    Configure on local side

As illustration in Figure 2-8, enter PTZ Parameter Settings on PTZ control page.

Figure 2-8 Select protocol on PTZ control page

In PTZ control menu, set parameters of Baud rate, Data Bit, PTZ Protocol and Address as shown in Figure 2-9 .

Figure 2-9 Select PTZ protocol(Pelco-D/Pelco-P)

 

2.2.2    Configure on web side

If you want to configure DVR parameters on web page, you should complete the settings in Configuration>System>System Settings>RS-485,(shown in Figure 2-10), all the configurations should be the same as the relative parameters in speed dome.

Figure 2-10 Set parameters on web page

 

3.     Configuration test

Through configurations above, you can test if the configuration success. Take Figure 3-1 as example, you can see the live view page changed, which means the configuration works.
