Most surveillance software will require a dedicated server to store recorded video. NVRs are customized servers built just for the purpose of handling IP camera systems on a dedicated network. They’re designed to handle the vast amounts of simultaneous video streams coming in for recording and rebroadcasting, done by the software, the same feed live to client machines locally or remotely. The NVR software can range from entry level to enterprise level and thus applied in serving the NVRs in multitudes of ways, such as in schools, police departments, businesses, military complex, and homes. With this software, NVRs have become widely known and heavily used for 3 chief reasons:

• The NVR, coupled with its software, is most suitable for smaller system configurations where the number of cameras is dependent on the NVR’s IP camera capacity.
• The NVR software features flexible recording and playback capabilities.
• The software allows NVRs to be accessed locally and remotely.

These NVRs with the use of video encoders and its supporting recording software can provide a hybrid system where analog and IP cameras can coexist.
