Network Video Recorder (NVR)

Systems

A specialized computer system that records video data from IP cameras over a network, storing it on hard drives or other digital media. NVRs are the digital successor to DVRs, designed specifically for IP camera networks. Casino NVR systems must support high-throughput recording from hundreds of cameras simultaneously while providing reliable redundancy, failover capability, and the storage capacity needed for regulatory compliance.

In practice

Enterprise casino NVR deployments often use RAID storage configurations and offsite backup to ensure no footage is lost due to hardware failure.
