The VioStor is the only standalone NVR with multi-NVR playback function over the Internet in the current market. The Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA) on playback is supported to allow the users to search the video by specified events, including motion detection, missing object, foreign object, out of focus, and camera occlusion. The 3.1.1 firmware enhances the playback performance of the NVR and allows faster and more efficient data search on the server.
