Airlive CoreNVR16 16-Channel 5MP Network Video Recorder H.264

The AirLive CoreNVR16 is a 16-channel Network Video Recorder designed for home, retail, and small-office deployments. Built on an embedded Linux platform, it operates as a standalone plug-and-play appliance that requires no dedicated PC for live monitoring, recording, or playback. The unit supports IP cameras up to 5MP and delivers up to 3MP resolution for storage and monitoring using H.264 video compression. Dual HDMI and VGA outputs allow direct connection to any HD monitor for local display. Storage is handled by up to two internal 3TB SATA III hard drives plus an eSATA interface for additional external capacity. Remote access is available through Internet Explorer and the CamPro Mobile application for iOS and Android. The CoreNVR16 is ONVIF-compliant and integrates with AirLive's CMS software, which can aggregate up to 256 channels across multiple CoreNVR units—making it suitable for franchise or multi-site environments. Comprehensive event detection covers motion, digital input, camera disconnect, HDD malfunction, and scheduled triggers, with notifications delivered via OSD, digital output, buzzer, email, FTP, HTTP, and TCP.
