Remote Data Store
In addition to its own storage (up to 8TB on the Alien Pro) the Alien DVRs can also backup files to a PC or server.
Network Video Record (NVR) software is installed on the PC, which allows it to simultaneously record live images from the cameras connected to the DVR as a secondary backup. NVR can connect to more than one DVR so it can backup multiple DVRs at once.
The benefits for using the optional NVR software are dual-back up, failsafe operation and increased storage capacity. For big users like councils NVR enables the police to take away massive amount of video data after major incidents without necessitating the removal of actual DVRs.
The Network Video Record Software is an optional extra to the Alien DVR.
