PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Keep your camera system and recording plan aligned.
A network video recorder receives and stores footage from compatible IP cameras. STARK helps select NVRs for new surveillance installations and suitable upgrades to existing business systems.
Channel count is only the starting point. Incoming bandwidth, supported resolutions, playback needs and storage capacity must match the camera configuration and the retention you require. Recording schedules and compression also affect storage use.
Model-specific analytics, remote viewing and user permissions are verified before supply. We coordinate recorder choices with camera compatibility, hard drive requirements and the wider network design.
