Front Panel (Cover Open) NSR-500
The NSR-500 is Sony’s 16-channel full-HD network surveillance
recording server delivering an excellent cost-performance ratio.
Six models with different storage capacities are available, so you
can select according to your precise requirements.
t Long-duration Recording
With a 12 TB HDD (2 TB x 6), you can record more than 300
hours of high-quality full-HD images compressed at 4 Mbps
with a frame rate of 30 fps.
t RAID Technology to Prevent Disk-failure Data Loss
The hard disk storage units of the NSR-500 are configured with
high redundancy. They feature RAID implementations and
hotswappable capabilities to protect important data against
hard disk failure, 24 hours a day. You can choose from RAID
1 (1+0), RAID 5 or RAID 5 + Hot Spare, depending on your
system requirements.
t Optional Licenses for Future System Expansion
The optional NSBK-CL05 allows you to add extra licenses,
and you can connect up to 24 network cameras to a single
NSR-500 (including the original 16 cameras).
t Easy Setup and Easy Operation
The NSR-500 detects Sony’s network cameras in a network and
sets up all the parameters of each camera in a step-by-step
manner with a dedicated setup wizard. This drastically reduces
the time required for system installation. Images from cameras
are assigned automatically to a monitor layout menu, so that
you can start monitoring instantly.
t Backward System Compatibility
The NSR-500 can be used with Sony’s existing recording
systems such as the NSR-1000 Series, and RealShot Manager
Advanced, through the RealShot Manager Advanced client,
whose software can be downloaded from the NSR-500.
