How to playback video and backup footage on the NVR

The Network Video Recorders (NVRs) offer the benefits of managing bandwidth and storage with the latest H.265+ compression technology. The all-in-one NVRs have powerful capabilities, supporting the very high resolution for recording with controller software.

Especially, the AI feature equipped with the network cameras will control captured images and determine the movements of the objects. The smart cameras/NVR look at individual picture frames and compare them to the previous ones to perform this feature. If the system identifies differences, then motion is expected to take place.

On the other hand, a network recorder needs to be configured to accurately differentiate between object movements, light changes, background changes, and unidentified humans breaking into your property. You don’t have to use the entire screen for one area, and it’s possible to set the trigger area using the setup menu on the NVR. Set the trigger area remotely if the NVR is connected to your network/ internet.

TRANTECH’s NVRs are equipped with next-generation Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning algorithms. Smart Motion Detection, Human detection, and Number plate recognition make searching for recorded footage easier and faster with many well-known top branch technologies.

In this article, TRANTECH qualified engineer will help explain each step to playback video and backup footage on the NVR.
