NVR Domain Controller

Servicing Your Network Needs
CNSG has well-tested networking technology and development expertise to help you build powerful network applications for wired or wireless network peripherals.

CNSG has developed a new and exciting approach to digital video surveillance management and control. The Network Video Recorder Domain model addresses scalability and reliability by allowing a user to set multiple NVR’s as one large NVR.

Digital video recording can consume a huge amount of hard drive storage space. With a number of cameras sending information to the ARCHIVE over a long period of time, the only way to deal adequately with the shear volume of files is to share the load over a distributed NVR network.
The central administration point of this distributed network or domain is the DETEXI NVR Domain Controller.

What the NVR Domain Controller Allows You to Do

The NVR Domain Controller allows you to consider the whole NVR Domain, consisting of several NVR’s, as one powerful NVR. Each NVR within the domain will be responsible only for recording its own set of cameras and searching its own archive.

All client access (connections from computers viewing cameras) via the local area network or the Internet would the authenticated by the NVR Domain Controller. The user list need only be maintained by the Domain Controller. It is not necessary to have a user list for each particular NVR in the domain. This centralizes user access control and database management.

The NVR Domain Controller allows us to treat each NVR in the domain like a box without a keyboard, mouse and monitor. The DETEXI Igloo is a good example of this. We can have multiple Internet addressable igloos and remotely control and search.

The NVR Domain Controller makes the entire system highly scalable and capable of recording from ten to hundreds of cameras. Simply add one more NVR to the domain and assign to it set of new cameras. If you have two or more NVR’s in different locales, you should explore upgrading with this module.



Building the NVR Domain

Whether you have several sites or a single site with hundreds of cameras, you can now plan a security management strategy. You can create a set of NVR’s by dividing cameras by groups and assigning each group to a corresponding NVR.
Each particular NVR is responsible for its group of cameras and performs the task of recording, touring and alarming functions. We use an NVR Domain Controller to manage the set of NVR’s.
The NVR Domain Controller learns everything about the cameras within the corporate network as well as other NVR’s in the domain.

NVR Domain Controller can:
Remotely Create and Update the cameras list on any NVR in the Domain
Remotely Create and Update the recording schedule for each camera
Remotely Create and Update the touring schedule for each camera
Get and update the remote User List from any NVR in the Domain as well as support its own local user list.
Remotely monitor any NVR in the Domain
Start and Stop any NVR’s component on any NVR in the Domain
