QNAP VS-2212 Pro+
12-channel / 2-bay / HDMI / Tower Network Video Recorder

Key Features:

Complete Recording Functions

High Quality H.264, MPEG-4, M-JPEG and MxPEG Recordings (depending on the camera models)
All-in-one Recording Functions Continuous/manual/scheduled recording * Alarm recording (by multiple events), alarm recording schedule * Pre-alarm and post-alarm recording Audio recording Auto snapshots * Different recording schedules for the IP cameras.
Megapixel Recordings The VioStor NVR supports megapixel recordings (up to 10-megapixel) from various IP cameras.

Multi-stream support
Administrators now can flexibly define multiple video streams (supported by specific camera models) according to bandwidth resources and number of live-view channels. The adjustable video stream setting helps improve the displaying quality of live-view and well manage the bandwidth resources based on different usage requirements.

Smart Recording
The VioStor NVR automatically selects video streams from IP cameras for different recording scenarios. In normal situation, video recording maintains at lower quality resolution. While the alarm event happens, video recording switches to high quality resolution to capture more details. In other words, smart recording effectively avoids the constant storage consumption at all time, but achieves greater storage efficiency and boost recording quality when alarm events happen.

Real-time Digital Watermarking The VioStor NVR supports real-time digital watermarking to protect the videos and snapshots from unauthorized modifications. The Watermark Proof utility is provided to verify whether or not the videos and snapshots are original.

High Reliability and Smart Features

Advanced RAID with Hot-swap Design
The VioStor NVR supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 5+hot spare, single, 6+hot spare and JBOD disk configurations. Its hot-swap design allows a failed drive of a disk volume (RAID 1 or above) to be replaced by hot swapping without turning off the server.

Online RAID Capacity Expansion and Online RAID Level Migration Online RAID Capacity Expansion The storage capacity of a RAID configuration can be expanded by replacing the hard drives with larger ones. All the data will be kept and seamlessly moved to the newly installed hard drives. There is no need to turn off the server during the process.
Online RAID Level Migration Upgrade the disk configuration to a higher RAID level with the data retained without turning off the server.
S.M.A.R.T. & Advanced HDD Health Scanning (HHS) S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) helps monitor the hard disk drives status. The VioStor NVR supports HHS (HDD Health Scan) for doing disk checking and bad blocks scanning.
Automatic System Startup after Power Recovery The VioStor NVR supports automatic system startup after a power recovery.
UPS Support for 24/7 Service The VioStor NVR supports APC, CyberPower, MGE, and YEC UPS devices to provide continuous services 24/7 against unexpected power outages.

DOM Architecture with Embedded Fail-safe Dual OS for Enhanced Reliability
All the OS and applications of the VioStor NVR are embedded in the DOM. The VioStor NVR allows system booting without accessing the physical disk sectors to prevent from unsuccessful system startup caused by bad blocks or file errors on the hard drives. Two operating systems are built on the DOM to boot the system alternatively upon every system startup. When one fails, the other one can be used for system startup and the failed OS is recoverable from the other healthy OS.

Network Services

Smart Search of IP Cameras for Quick Settings
QNAP provides an intelligent software utility, Finder, to search for IP cameras and configure the system settings on the local network quickly.

Advanced Event Management:

Advanced event management can be divided into two parts:

Events

The VioStor NVR supports different event types, including motion detection, alarm input, connection failure, recording failure, and user-defined event to trigger follow-up actions.

	Motion Detection When the IP camera detects any movement, the defined actions will be activated.
	Alarm Input When the VioStor NVR receives a signal from the IP camera's alarm input, the defined actions will be activated.
	Connection Failure When the VioStor NVR fails to connect to the IP camera, the defined actions will be triggered.
	Recording Failure When the VioStor NVR fails to record video due to hard drive failure or system crash, the defined actions will be triggered.
	User-defined Event* The VioStor NVR supports user-defined events. The administrator can enter the CGI command in the browser to trigger the event, and the defined actions will be activated.

Actions

The NVR supports different actions when an event is triggered. These actions include multi-channel recording, adjusting the PTZ camera to the preset position, alarm output, built-in buzzer, email & SMS alert, and user-defined action.

	Recording When an event is triggered, the VioStor NVR starts recording one or more channels at the same time.
	Camera Control When an event occurs, the PTZ camera will be adjusted to the specified preset position for monitoring and recording. Use HTTP URL to activate further actions.
	Alarm Output When an event occurs, the alarm output from the IP cameras will trigger other alert systems, such as lighting system, auto phone dialing system, security system and so on**.
	SMS The VioStor NVR sends an SMS message to inform the specified recipients when an event occurs.
	Email When an event occurs, the VioStor NVR sends an email with snapshot to notify the specified recipients.
	Buzzer The buzzer of the VioStor NVR will sound when an event occurs.
	User-defined Action The VioStor NVR supports user-defined actions. Enter the HTTP URL from other surveillance systems. When an alert occurs, the NVR will activate other systems, such as extinguishing system, electronic control system, and air conditioning control system.

* The administrator can enter the following URL in the browser to trigger the event: http://NVR IP/cgi-bin/logical_input.cgi?name=User-defined Event Name
** The VioStor NVR supports the alarm output of AXIS, Panasonic, SONY, ACTi, and VIVOTEK camera models.

Playback Features:

Multi-view Playback
Use the multi-view playback feature to divide a video equally into multiple sessions for playback in a multi-view window, or play the videos of multiple IP cameras in the multi-view window simultaneously.

Real-time Digital Watermarking The VioStor NVR supports digital watermarking to protect the videos from unauthorized modification.
Data Search by Date & Time, Timeline, Event, and Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA) The VioStor NVR supports quick search of recording data by date and time, timeline, event, and intelligent video analytics (IVA), including motion detection, foreign object, missing object, out of focus, and camera occlusion.

Motion Detection: Detects movement in the video. The moving objects of the search area are highlighted in red brackets.
Foreign Object: Detects a new object in the video. The foreign objects of the search area are highlighted in yellow brackets.
Missing Object: Detects a missing object in the video. The missing objects of the search area are highlighted in yellow brackets.
Out of Focus: Detects if the IP camera is out of focus.
Camera Occlusion: Detects if the IP camera is obstructed.
