Sirrus IPVR Series Network Video Recorders (NVRs)

Released first in 2001, the Sirrus IPVR series was the World’s first family of turn-key network video recorders designed expressly to work with many different makes of IP Cameras and Servers. Cameras from Sirrus, Axis, JVC, Sony, Panasonic, D-Link, Mobotix, Canon, Elmo, Linudix, Merit-Lin, Appro and other may be used.

Rugged, Completely Automated Recording from Network Video Cameras
The IPVR-200 series is a completely self-contained, self-managing network appliance device, based on a fully embedded operating system and ruggedised for unattended use, needing no PC or UPS. IPVRs are designed to accept both network interruption and power outages without harm, and will automatically and fully recover to record mode after power loss within 30 seconds.

The IPVR series gathers images at a preset frequency, adjustable individually per camera. Recorded images are archived in the internationally standard ISO-JPEG format using a highly efficient time-stamped archive structure on internally mounted hard drives.

Mix-and-match many Camera types
The IPVR 1xx and 2xx series are compatible with and can record from a wide range of IP cameras and video servers: including Sirrus, AXIS, JVC, Sony, Panasonic, D-Link, Mobotix, Canon, Elmo, Linudix, Merit-Lin, Appro and other types of HTTP-serving MJPEG cameras and servers.

"Endless Loop" Record
The IPVR records effectively an "endless loop", automatically limiting to 95% of the hard drive capacity. The archive length in time is adjusted depending on capture rate and number of cameras.

Vast Recording Capacity
The IPVR series is available in compact formats and in 1U and 3U rack-mount versions, and with storage volumes from 80 to 2,400 Gigabytes as standard. This is enough capacity for typically up to 300 million images, enough for recording (for example) 24 cameras for 5 months, or 8 cameras for more than a year. RAID storage configurations are available on the larger sizes. Recorded footage may be "clipped" and copied to other media using the VideoConsole playback client, which is supplied bundled with the unit.

Automated motion-based searching of the IPVR archive is possible using our Samurai motion searching utility.
