The VioStor NVR is an ideal & powerful network video surveillance system designed for SMB and Enterprise. Powered by Intel 2.8GHz CPU and 2GB DDRII memory, it delivers superior performance for surveillance applications.
 Redundant Power Supply
The VS-8040U-RP is equipped with two power supply units, each of which is capable of supplying the power for the entire VioStor NVR independently. If one of the units fails, the other one will take over to supply the power to ensure continuous operation of the VioStor NVR. You can replace the failed power supply unit without turning off the server.
Linux Embedded System
The Linux-based NVR is more power-saving and less vulnerable to virus attack compared to PC-based surveillance solution.
Touch-N-Go PC-less Installation by LCD Display
The handy LCD display on the VioStor NVR provides a speedy and easy approach to initialize the NVR and set up the RAID configuration without using any computer. You can use the handy LCD to finish the first time installation in 3 simple steps. The NVR will automatically complete the hard disk formatting and RAID building. When the system is ready, users can check or configure the IP settings, physical disk info, volume info, system info, shut down or reboot the NVR etc.
Smart Fan
The fan rotation speed is automatically adjusted according to the server's temperature. You can also define the system temperatures to trigger high speed or low speed rotation of the fan.
Dual Gigabit LAN Ports
Failover
The dual LAN ports can be configured as failover which allows the VioStor NVR server to sustain the failure of one network port to provide continuous services.
Load-balancing
The two LAN ports of the VioStor NVR can be configured as load balancing mode for bandwidth aggregation to boost the file transfer speed (works with managed Ethernet switch with 802.3ad configured).
Multi-IP Setting
The VioStor NVR can be deployed with two IP settings for sharing among different workgroups in two different subnets.
Support 8 High-speed SATA Hard Drives
SATA hard drives are faster than IDE hard drives, which enhance recording and playback performance.
Up to 16TB Storage Capacity for Long-term Recording
The VioStor NVR is an excellent choice for long-term recording and saving large amount of recording data.
DOM Architecture with Embedded Fail-safe Dual OS for Enhanced Reliability
All the OS and applications are embedded on the DOM. The VioStor NVR allows system booting without accessing the physical disk sectors and that prevents unsuccessful system startup caused by bad block sectors or file errors on the hard drives. Two operating systems are built on the DOM for system booting alternatively upon every system startup. When one fails, the other one will be used to boot up instead, and the failed OS is recoverable from the other healthy OS.
Lockable HDD Tray
The VioStor NVR provides lockable HDD trays to protect the physical hard drives.
High Reliability and Smart Features
Advanced RAID (1/ 5/ 6) with Hot-swap Design
The VioStor NVR offers advanced RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 5+spare, 6+spare, single, and JBOD disk configurations. It also supports hot-swap design that a failed drive can be replaced by hot swapping without turning off the server. Besides, the best-in-class RAID on the VioStor NVR brings users a higher level of data security by allowing one more hard drive failure than other NVR of the same level.
Online RAID Capacity Expansion and Online RAID Level Migration
Online RAID Capacity Expansion
The storage capacity of a RAID configuration can be expanded by replacing the hard drives with larger ones. All the data will be kept and seamlessly moved to the newly installed hard drives. There is no need to turn off the server during the process.
Online RAID Level Migration
Users can upgrade the disk configuration to higher RAID level with the data retained. There is no need to turnoff the server during the process.
 S.M.A.R.T. & Advanced HDD Health Scanning (HHS)
The VioStor NVR supports Hard Disk Drive S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) for monitoring the hard drive status. The VioStor NVR is embedded with HHS Technology which supports disk checking and bad blocks scanning.
Intelligent Automatic System Startup when Power Recovery
The VioStor NVR supports intelligent power-on support. When enabled, the system turns on automatically when power resumes after power outage.
 Support UPS System for 24x7 Service
The VioStor NVR supports both APC and MGE UPS devices to enable stable and continuous recording 24x7. With UPS, the system can function normally in case of power outage or unstable power supply.
