The new NVR provides a single-box solution that is able to connect to any brand IP camera or encoder that is supported by Milestone XProtect software embedded at is core to offer a pure-IP solution. This is especially useful for applications that have existing equipment in place creating a truly flexible surveillance system.

The NVR records high-quality images at a maximum frame rate of 240 frames per second in VGA mode. The NVR has automatic IP camera detection and the IP addresses of each device are assigned an IP address from the built-in DHCP server if required. Besides using alarms from the camera and encoders, the VR-N1600E units also feature 8 alarm inputs which are able to be directly connected to devices such as PIR security sensors and door contacts.
The VCR/DVR-like jog-shuttle and front panel controls ensuring ease of use of all security personnel. Special care has taken in the design of the electronics and air-flow system which are made for 24/7 use.

Using the external USB port, up to 4TB of storage can be added to work with the recorder. The unit also supports RAID 1 (mirroring) internally.
