Introducing ND8401 Network Video Recorder

VIVOTEK ND8401 is a 16-CH Network Video Recorder designed for sophisticated recording ap- plications. The unit is equipped with an Intel Dual-core Atom Processor with maximum recording throughput at a robust 96 Mbps. RAID 0/1/5/10 is supported with four HDDs, with an external eSATA port for additional expansion. Like VIVOTEK NVR ND8301, a local display output port is available with full HD resolution (1920x1080), eliminating the need for a separate PC to view video from the unit. Setup of parameters such as IP address, HDD to logical volumes, and basic camera configuration can easily be performed with the setup wizard, making the ND8401 the easiest NVR to use yet. When connecting ND8401 to more than one of the same model of VI- VOTEK camera, the “Shepherd” program can be used to duplicate the configuration to multiple cameras.

VIVOTEK’s professional software VAST is installed in ND8401 with performance tuning, al- lowing for simple and effective management of a surveillance system using the LiveClient and Playback programs. As VIVOTEK’s camera features are fully integrated into VAST, cutting-edge technologies such as Activity Adaptive Recording can be utilized to conserve bandwidth and optimize recording. A CMS server running VAST software can also directly control the ND8401, and compatibility with the iViewer application allows for remote access to the ND8401 on hand- held devices. By integrating all of the components together using VIVOTEK’s ND8401, network cameras, VAST and iViewer software, users can realize a fully-featured and robust next-genera- tion surveillance system.
