D-Link DNS-726-4 2-Bay Network Video Recorder

The D-Link DNS-726-4 Professional Network Video Recorder (NVR) offers a comprehensive solution for displaying, storing and managing video data generated by IP cameras. With remote monitoring in high resolution at a fraction of the cost, this improves dramatically on conventional CCTV surveillance systems.The device itself is compact in size and incorporates a physical security lock. An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) can be used as an emergency power supply for the NVR, via a USB interface.An intuitive interface accessible via a simple web browser allows for real-time viewing of up to 4 cameras (models from D-Link, Sony, Panasonic and Axis are supported), either on-site or remotely via the Internet. A variety of options are provided, including pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) control and two-way audio.Each camera can be independently set to record continuously or at preset intervals, or on detecting motion. A dedicated PC is not required. Data is saved on one or two hard drives (3.5" SATA, not included), in a secure database that can be duplicated using RAID 1 technology for complete backup.The video data can be exported easily into AVI or ASF formats.The NVR centrally controls the digital output, e-mail notifications and recording for all the connected cameras. With "Smart Search" technology, a specific area of the image can be selected and searched for events such as motion, with various degrees of sensitivity.D-Link's powerful D-ViewCam NVR software is bundled with the D-Link DNS-726-4. Via a simple web interface, an operator can easily drag and drop a view onto the display window, search or export video, and also back up video data from the NVR to external storage. A total of 4 NVRs and 16 cameras can be combined and administered in this way.
