The H5S NVRs can record both the standard H.264 and newer, more efficient H.265 camera streams. H.265 has the advantage of allowing the same time period and frame rate to be recorded on a smaller size of drive, or higher resolution images to be recorded at the same rate and using the same drive space as the lower resolution H.264 streams.
As part of the Vista Viper range, the H5S NVRs can be linked into a single system by using the Viper VMC (Virtual Matrix Controller). The VMC is connected via an IP Network to multiple Viper devices (NVRs and hybrid DVRs), using its “WARP” function. The VMC can then display and control the cameras from each device on the network.
This allows the system designer to upgrade to higher resolution recording by utilising legacy coax cabling with TVI format analogue cameras, plus add in IP cameras onto the same system. To the system operator it appears as a single, simple to use, coherent system.
Each H5S NVR can have 2 hard drives installed internally, allowing for up to 16TB of storage. If this is not enough then additional storage can be added via iSCSI.
This massive storage can be easily interrogated using various filters including SMART and Thumbnail searches. The H5S is optimised for use with the VK2 range of cameras but can also be used with other ONVIF compliant IP cameras.
