eRacks/NVR

IP surveillance recorderOne box, every camera. The eRacks/NVR records your ONVIF/RTSP IP cameras to surveillance-rated CMR drives (Seagate SkyHawk AI / WD Purple Pro) in a single rackmount appliance — storage and capture together, ideal for smaller deployments.

Hardware-accelerated, not brute-forced

Current Intel QuickSync graphics (UHD 770) decode and encode H.264/H.265 camera streams in dedicated silicon — so the NVR handles many cameras at low power and leaves the CPU free for recording and analytics. (Arrow Lake option adds AV1.)

Bring your own VMS — open source, no per-camera fees

Frigate (real-time AI object detection), ZoneMinder, Shinobi, Viseron, Moonfire — install the capture software that fits, with no license tax per camera and no cloud lock-in. Your footage stays in your building.

GNU/LinuxOpen all the way down. Ubuntu LTS or Debian, open-source storage and VMS, standard serviceable hardware. Built to order by eRacks — open-source experts since 1999.

The default configuration includes:

  • eRacks/2U-8RHD hot-swap chassis (3 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 15 / 24-bay options)
  • Surveillance-rated CMR drives (SkyHawk AI / WD Purple Pro)
  • Current Intel Core CPU with QuickSync hardware video decode
  • 2× 10GbE networking (25GbE available)
  • Your choice of open-source VMS (Frigate, ZoneMinder, and more)
