performance. The Portal Server and/or the NVRs are delivered with all software installed or as a software-only option. The NVR comes in standard and standalone versions as explained below. The only difference is in functionality. Both record either 10 or 40 concurrent streams depending on the license you purchase. Both versions can be expanded to include multiple, additional NVRs so that your recording capacity is virtually unlimited.

Figure 17. Standard and Standalone NVR Examples

NVR Hardware

The NVR is comprised of both hardware and software. If you purchased the hardware/ software combination from VBrick, each platform (standard or standalone) comes fully loaded with NVR software. The following table shows the hardware configuration relative to the number of purchased licenses. The license file determines the total maximum concurrent recordings allowed. In a standard NVR installation the NVR license file is stored on the Portal Server; in a standalone NVR installation the NVR license file is stored on the Standalone NVR.
