System description and features

The NVR2000-4KS3 Lite Series is designed for applications requiring detailed 4K video and can act as edge, central or backup storage with intuitive shortcut menus for remote management and control, according to the manufacturer's documentation. The DVR supports Smart Motion Detection (SMD) by DVR, which distinguishes between vehicles and people and other objects in real time, as well as a single arming and disarming action.

Intelligent AI functions and alarms

The device offers the SMD PLus function with an intelligent algorithm that categorizes targets that trigger motion detection and filters motion alarms triggered by irrelevant targets, increasing the efficiency and accuracy of alarms. The perimeter protection implemented by the camera automatically filters out false alarms caused by animals, rustling leaves, bright lights and other disturbances, enabling the system to identify targets secondarily and improving alarm accuracy; there are also general alarms (motion detection, external camera alarms, PIR alarms), anomaly alarms (ex. disk error, missing disk, video loss, IP conflict) and smart alarms (perimeter protection, SMD PLus) linked to recording, photos, audio, event logging, presets, email and patrol route.
