FAQ

What is an NVR, and what does it do?

An NVR (Network Video Recorder) is a digital recording device used to manage and record video from IP cameras. It connects to cameras over a network, providing a professional-grade surveillance solution with features like high-definition recording, remote monitoring, and large storage capacity.

How does ZOSI’s NVR support PoE technology?

ZOSI’s NVR integrates Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) technology, allowing it to power IP cameras and transmit data through a single Ethernet cable. This simplifies the installation process and reduces wiring costs.

Does my NVR support remote access?

Yes, ZOSI’s NVRs support remote access. You can view live video and playback footage anytime and anywhere through the ZOSI mobile app or PC client.

What size hard drive do I need for my NVR?

The required hard drive size depends on the number of cameras and the duration of video storage needed. ZOSI’s NVRs typically support large-capacity hard drives to store high-definition video for extended periods.

What is the difference between an NVR and a DVR?

An NVR is used for recording and managing video from IP cameras, while a DVR (Digital Video Recorder) is used for analog cameras. NVRs generally offer higher image quality and more flexible network connections.

What is a PoE Switch, and what does it do?

A PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) Switch is a network switch that can deliver power and data to devices like IP cameras over a single Ethernet cable. It simplifies the installation process and eliminates the need for separate power supplies.

How does a PoE Switch simplify camera installation?

A PoE Switch transmits both power and data through one cable, reducing the number of cables needed for camera installation, making the process more straightforward and tidy.

How far can a PoE Switch transmit power and data?

Standard PoE technology supports a transmission distance of up to 100 meters (328 feet). However, with the use of PoE extenders, this distance can be further extended.

Should I use a PoE Injector or a PoE Switch?

If you need to power multiple devices, a PoE Switch is the better choice as it can power several devices simultaneously. A PoE Injector is more suitable for powering a single device.

Are PoE Switches compatible with cameras from other brands?

Yes, ZOSI’s PoE Switches are widely compatible and can work with most PoE-enabled IP cameras, regardless of brand.
