FAQ
An NVR (Network Video Recorder) is a digital recording device used to manage and record video from IP cameras. It connects to cameras over a network, providing a professional-grade surveillance solution with features like high-definition recording, remote monitoring, and large storage capacity.
ZOSI’s NVR integrates Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) technology, allowing it to power IP cameras and transmit data through a single Ethernet cable. This simplifies the installation process and reduces wiring costs.
Yes, ZOSI’s NVRs support remote access. You can view live video and playback footage anytime and anywhere through the ZOSI mobile app or PC client.
The required hard drive size depends on the number of cameras and the duration of video storage needed. ZOSI’s NVRs typically support large-capacity hard drives to store high-definition video for extended periods.
An NVR is used for recording and managing video from IP cameras, while a DVR (Digital Video Recorder) is used for analog cameras. NVRs generally offer higher image quality and more flexible network connections.
A PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) Switch is a network switch that can deliver power and data to devices like IP cameras over a single Ethernet cable. It simplifies the installation process and eliminates the need for separate power supplies.
A PoE Switch transmits both power and data through one cable, reducing the number of cables needed for camera installation, making the process more straightforward and tidy.
Standard PoE technology supports a transmission distance of up to 100 meters (328 feet). However, with the use of PoE extenders, this distance can be further extended.
If you need to power multiple devices, a PoE Switch is the better choice as it can power several devices simultaneously. A PoE Injector is more suitable for powering a single device.
Yes, ZOSI’s PoE Switches are widely compatible and can work with most PoE-enabled IP cameras, regardless of brand.
