The Qnap Viostor Pro series demonstrates its performance for local display and live view with the full HD monitoring of IP cameras over the network. This ensures the users’ experience is truly plug-and-play. In addition to the Pro series, Viostor NVR version 3.3.1 has included such new functions as the "Auto video snapshot savings" and the "Specific channel remote setting" which will enable users at different management levels to easily access significant records which they have prioritised.

"A significant increase has been seen in the use of ONVIF-compliant devices in 2010 and that is why Qnap Viostor NVR is going forward and becoming highly compatible with these 400 models. Viostor NVR users can now easily connect with standardised ONVIF network devices to expand their variety of choices," said Andrew Yu, Product Manager from Qnap. "In addition, Viostor NVR series is spreading its network accommodation to 1,000 devices from 38 brands, which represents the first and only Linux-based Standalone while providing the most flexibility." The Full HD Linux-embedded NVR Viostor Pro series, according to Qnap stands ahead of its competition and is unique. With the firmware version 3.3.1, users simply plug a VGA/TV monitor and USB-driven mouse with neither complex settings nor extra software installations needed in order to receive live/recorded videos.

Furthermore, audio and visual security camera PTZ functions become accessible through the sound cards and joystick USB connections to Viostor Pro series. This type of appliance is widely used within retail and chain stores.

Another new feature appearing in Viostor NVR live view is "auto video snapshot save". This allows for scheduled and specifically timed snapshots and is especially advantageous for Eco Observers spending a long time watching and waiting for their subject, or for users who need additional recorded images. To ensure data protection, the administrator is authorised to save snapshots to a designated remote or local server.

Viostor NVR also supports abundant features such as 128-channel monitoring from multiple NVR servers without installing additional PC software, Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA) for faster video retrieval, generic IP camera integration by JPEG CGI command, digital watermarking, advanced event management, email and SMS alert, online RAID capacity expansion, and online RAID level migration.
