Brand New VioStor NVR firmware - QVR 5.0

QVR 5.0 is the brand new VioStor NVR firmware, introducing an intelligent desktop with multi-window design, simplified user interface, and new features including floating tool bar, speed control shuttle bar and video thumbnails. The VMobile and Vcam mobile apps enhance surveillance management on the go. Security administrators can enjoy an unprecedented monitoring & management experience with the innovative QVR 5.0.

QSCM Lite, available in the QVR 5.0 App Center, is a free app enabling a VioStor NVR to function as a Central Management System (CMS). Security administrators can easily enjoy a turnkey CMS solution with QSCM Lite to enable multi-server management with a VioStor NVR, without the need of purchasing a dedicated CMS server.

QNAP showed their strong partnership with Axis® Communications, the global market leader in network video surveillance. While users can easily build well-rounded surveillance systems with the VioStor NVR and various compatible IP cameras, they can alternatively adopt a Turbo NAS compatible with AXIS Camera Companion, the video management software (VMS) for Axis IP cameras, to create surveillance systems.
