Introducing the Network Video Recorder
VIVOTEK ND8312 and ND8212W series is a compact Linux embedded 8-CH or 4-CH stand-
alone desktop NVR designed for any small-scale video surveillance installation. The series fea-
tures ease of installation, and facilitates "One Button Setup" with its plug & play and auto setup
functionality. With a wireless 2.4Ghz/5Ghz connectivity, wireless cameras can easily connect
and record to the ND8212W NVR.
The ND8312 is the wired version.
Supporting the HDMI local video output, users can control the GUI OSD interface via mouse &
keyboard, eliminating the need for a separate PC to search video or to playback from the NVR.
The new local display design - Auto Adaptive Stream will dynamically modify Stream 2 resolu-
tion of a camera to best fit the display resolution according to the layout type, resulting in an ef-
ficient display, while maintaining superb image quality.
Together with the VAST CMS software, users can set up an easy-to-use IP surveillance system
with ease. VIVOTEK also provides the mobile application, iViewer or VIVOCloud, for both iOS
and Android handheld devices, enabling users to monitor live video anytime, anywhere.
