Easy to Use

Excellent Hardware Design

Intel 1.6GHz CPU and 1GB DDRII Memory for Superior System Performance
The VioStor-5020 NVR is an ideal & powerful network video surveillance system designed for SMB and Enterprise. Powered by Intel 1.6GHz CPU and 1GB DDRII memory, it delivers superior performance for surveillance applications.

Green NVR Solution: Linux Embedded System with Low Power Consumption
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-5020 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.

Ultra-low System Noise, Superior Cooling Design
The low-noise fan of the NVR keeps the hard disks and the system in low temperature for long-term operation. The mesh cover dissipates system heat effectively.

Dual Gigabit LAN Ports
