eRacks/NVR

eRacks/NVR is a Network Video Recorder, a specialized hardware and software solution used in IP video surveillance systems - it records and stores video footage for subsequent playback.  eRacks/NVR works with IP-based cameras - IP cameras can capture and process video and audio data themselves, either via ethernet cable connection or wirelessly via an existing Wi-Fi network. The eRacks/NVR does not contain any PCI cards or equipment for capturing video - the video streams are already encoded by the IP cameras in digital format, and saved to the eRacks/NVR, using standard Open Source software and and Operating Systems.

As such, video data is processed at the IP camera rather than on the eRacks/NVR. IP cameras have dedicated hardware and software which process the video & audio data, which is then transmitted to the eRacks/NVR recorder.  As it handles both audio and video, this also enables improved smart functionality and video analytics, such as facial recognition, AI sound analysys, and so forth.  eRacks/NVR conncts the cameras using standard Ethernet cables or WiFi to transmit data.

eRacks/NVR systems are therefore inherently more flexible, as the IP cameras don’t need to be physically connected to the recorder, merely on the same network. The video quality is also typically better, as the signal path to the eRacks/NVR is all-digital.  All cameras with microphones record audio to eRacks/NVR as well.

In addition to the better picture quality, eRacks/NVR are easier to install, more reliable, stable, provide increased flexibility, have a user-friendly interface for day-to-day use, and have native support for audio on every camera that has a microphone.
