QNAP^® Security,  a professional Linux-based stand-alone NVR provider, today announced new  VioStor NVR firmware v4.1.0, introducing storage expansion solution, smart  recording, user-defined multi-stream setup, and more.         

“VioStor NVR firmware v4.1.0 provides a great solution to  expand the storage capacity of VioStor NVR with QNAP Turbo NAS,” said Andrew  Yu, product manager of QNAP Security. By installing the StorageExpansion app (QPKG)  on the Turbo NAS, administrators can connect the VioStor NVR with the Turbo NAS  via network to flexibly enlarge the total storage capacity of VioStor NVR. “The  increasing demands for Full HD video recording and long-term video retention  result in greater storage needs, and this storage expansion solution is provided  right to fulfill that needs,” added Yu.         

The smart recording feature selects optimal video streams from IP cameras for  different recording scenarios. In normal situation, video recording uses streams  of lower quality resolution, while in alarm events, it switches to high quality  resolution to capture more details. In other words, smart recording effectively  avoids the constant storage consumption at all time, but achieves greater  storage efficiency and  boost recording quality when alarm events happen. “With the smart recording function, organizations can enjoy the  benefits of lower storage cost and higher recording quality  of alarm events for evidential purposes,” said Yu.         

In addition, administrators can now flexibly define compression  rate, resolution, fps, and quality settings for multiple video streams (supported  by specific camera models) according to bandwidth resources and number of  live-view channels, and then choose a proper video stream for live-view. The  adjustable video stream setting helps improve the displaying quality of  live-view and well manage the bandwidth resources based on different usage  requirements.         

The VioStor NVR now is compatible with over 2,100 IP camera   models of various popular brands. Businesses can enjoy high flexibility in  deploying an ideal surveillance solution with the broad-ranged offering of  compatible IP cameras.         

With VioStor NVR firmware v4.1.0, administrators will enjoy   more flexibility in storage deployment and utilization as well as in the  bandwidth resources management.

The expansion solution is available for VioStor NVR Pro(+) series with firmware  v4.1.0 or newer and the Turbo NAS TS-x69, x79, x70 series with firmware v3.8.3  only.
