20/20 Vision at the Extreme Edge: Rugged NVR Computers for IoT Surveillance

Who Needs a Rugged NVR Computer?

Organizations seeking to leverage the rich features of a dedicated network video recording appliance toward challenging deployments can realize robust, holistic security with a rugged NVR computer. Rugged NVR computers are built to endure severe conditions while maintaining surveillance and peripheral security duties without latency or downtime.

Rugged NVR computers deliver real-time edge computing power at the surveilled environment, providing immediate inference analysis and event response while capturing high-resolution video and images from connected devices. Built to endure volatile circumstances, rugged NVR computers form the connective and processing backbone to surveillance systems deployed remotely or in mobile settings.

Wireless Connectivity for Untethered Surveillance

Rugged NVR computers leverage 4G LTE with SIM modules for continuous connectivity throughout remote and mobile deployments. Dispatched NVR computers can establish maintain contact with the cloud, other hardware and security operations centers without the limitations of wide area wired connections. Rugged NVR computers are highly scalable through connectivity with wireless cameras and other devices.

Image Analysis with Local Edge Intelligence

Powerful GPUs allow for real-time visual inference analysis that can drive myriad active or passive responses. Rugged NVR computers evaluate rich network camera data in the surveilled environment without the latency of centralized systems. GPUs quickly process event triggers, procedural aberrations, traffic flow and dwell time, biometric cross-referencing, thermal scanning, license plate recognition, behavior patterns, threat detection and other visual parameters warranting immediate responses. Machine learning capabilities refine inference analyses with every fresh input, improving speed and accuracy through the system’s lifetime.

PoE Supplies Peripheral Agility

Surveillance at the edge often entails deployments in limited-power areas. Low-consumption network cameras and peripheral security devices can receive power directly from the CPU via power-over-ethernet (PoE) connectivity. Rugged NVR computers support up to 16 PoE-connections, allowing strategic placement of high-resolution IP cameras, sensors and peripheral security devices in spots with resource constraints.

TPM 2.0: The Encryption Behind the Security

Each rugged NVR computer contains an unalterable trusted platform module (TPM) cryptoprocessor. The discrete module conforms to future-ready TPM 2.0 standards, enabling device authentication and strong encryption. TPM 2.0 technology helps devices establish secure, reliable communication and safeguards video and sensitive data processed at the rugged NVR computer. Surveillance device security shields personal information, sensitive logistics and system performance from unauthorized parties.
