Highlights

What it does

Run it from a browser

No monitor or keyboard needed: everything is set up in the web console, and the dashboard shows streams, drops, storage, cameras and alarms live.

Dashboard — streams, storage and camera status

Live view in the browser

Watch live video in up to 16-split layouts right in the browser, using shared layouts that the administrator prepares for everyone.

Web live view — 16-split with camera list

Recording survives disk failure

Channels are spread across disks in proportion to capacity; a failing disk's channels move instantly to another disk and return once it recovers.

Storage — per-disk status, streams and write rate

NVR-grade security

Recording encryption, IP allow-list, account lockout and integrity checks come standard, and every admin action is written to the audit log.

Audit log — period and code filters, alarm acknowledgement

Product description

NQRecSvr runs on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on standard x86 servers. It pulls each camera stream once, stores it and relays it to any number of NQVMS clients, so more viewers never mean more camera load. Playback, PTZ and search happen in NQVMS, while cameras, storage, accounts and security are set up in the web console, with disk failover, recording encryption and audit logging built in.

The actual channel count depends on the license and hardware.
