Easy check on the camera system hard drive disk health

An intelligent security camera system isn’t complete without reliable storage. Therefore, Camius NVRs offer a dedicated section with details about the health of installed hard drives.

The process is S.M.A.R.T., short for Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology. The advantage of this technology running in the background and on demand is that the user can stay updated on the hard drive’s health.

We recommend the backup recorded event immediately to avoid losing the footage because the system is set to overwrite

Smart Motion Detection

Smart video motion detection is supported by IP cameras in the NVR kit when they detect motion along with pedestrians, vehicles, or vehicles and pedestrians. It allows users to set detection areas under setup for IP cameras; a schedule is available for detection hours and days.
