Camius IP camera solutions include the latest 32 Channel NVR (network video recorder) designed for centralized recording and remote access to Camius IP cameras. Camius recorders support ultra HD 4K video resolution and real-time audio and video surveillance camera recording.
Using built-in P2P (pier-to-pier) technology or DDNS, they connect to the mobile phone app and software to watch live or check footage playback remotely from where you are. In addition, home and business owners can set Camius security network video recorder to send you motion-activated, PIR, Intelligent, and AI push notifications or emails. It is one of the best security camera systems for any business for high-risk applications.
32 Channel NVR with a high bitrate
More bandwidth for transmission and recording means higher quality. Camius offers some of the highest bitrate levels in an NVR or Network Video Recorder, The available bandwidth. Continuous recording for security cameras from Camius can utilize up to 256Mbps on the Network Video Recorder to provide each channel with enough bandwidth to stream, record, process, and analyze in 4K quality.
Compatible IP cameras
You can add 32 Camius IP cameras to this latest 32 Channel NVR. Non-Camius IP cameras may work with limited functionality since certain manufacturers limit their camera protocol or use certain limited versions. The NVR network video recorder supports ultra HD 4K, 2K, full HD 1080p video resolution, and audio and video surveillance camera recording. Follow this guide on how to add IP cameras to the Camius 32 channel NVR
Latest video and audio compression
Video compression is important when choosing a security system; it determines video clarity, hard disk usage, and network bandwidth. Camius 32 channel NVR supports H.265, considered the best video compression standard to optimize all three areas. The video quality of an H.265 stream is higher than that of an H.264 with the same settings. Using H.265, or H.265+, reduces the file size, which means less bandwidth is required to transfer a higher-quality stream. The reduced file size means a longer recording duration on the hard disk.
A smart security camera system isn’t complete without reliable storage; Camius NVR offers a dedicated section with details about the health of installed hard drives. The process is named S.M.A.R.T., which is short for Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology. The advantage of this technology running in the background and on demand is that the user can stay updated on the hard drive’s health. The 32 Channel NVR fits 8 (eight) internal 3.5″ SATA and 2.5″ SSD hard drives. In addition, the advanced network video recorder fits one e-SATA port to add external storage. Moreover, you can use high capacity hard drive of 14TB on each bay!

Camius 32 channel NVR has a feature that enables a spot monitor for IP cameras through their dual HDMI video outputs. A spot monitor function can display a live video feed of one or more security cameras on a secondary TV monitor that is continuously linked to an NVR network video recorder. This feature does not disrupt the live IP camera display on the spot monitor if you use the recorder’s main monitor to access the menu system. The HDMI2 video output is configurable for the spot-out monitor.

Recording
The NVR starts recording out of the box. Only normal 24/7 recording is enabled by default. You can activate multiple recording modes simultaneously.
Time Lapse Video
Time-Lapse recording is a Camius NVR feature that stores an image every set duration that will produce a Time-Lapse video when combined into a video file.
Time-Lapse can be used for various purposes like construction, nature, or seasonal change. The capture recording schedule is turned off by default and requires setting your schedule.
You can set motion recording as the only recording method to save disk space or activate motion recording along with normal 24/7 recording to record everything while having easy access to video footage triggered by motion.
You can enable PIR detection for Camius spotlight cameras and select alarms triggered by PIR.
Deterrence
This NVR can control the deterrence features of Camius spotlight cameras. Camius spotlight cameras provide an important security feature: deterrence. Users can also turn the spotlights and sirens and schedule these features to only be active during certain hours and days of the week. The spotlight feature allows for clear color video in complete darkness; it helps identify subjects, and the loud siren with adjustable volume is great for deterring criminals.

Intelligent Detection
Camius smart security camera systems offer Intelligent Detection using AI analysis. This goes beyond video motion detection, allowing the user to create zones for detecting movement patterns, location, etc. Intelligent Detection will trigger Push notifications in addition to video recording in a special color and tag.
One of the most used intelligent features is Stationary Object Detection (SOD).
Sound Detection in Intelligent Mode
Sound Detection is triggered when a sudden loud noise occurs near the camera, alerts the user, and records in Intelligent mode. All Camius IP cameras, which have built-in microphones, support sound detection.
Email Notifications
Email alerts are available for all Camius IP cameras, DVRs, and NVR systems to notify you of real-time motion, sound, PIR, Intelligent, and AI detection events. Furthermore, Camius security camera systems send email alerts when your recorder hard drive has an error or when the camera is disconnected (available under Setup >> Alarm >> Exception). A detailed guide to email notifications setup is available at this link
AI Detection
Camus’s IP cameras offer detection using AI analysis. It goes beyond video motion detection, allowing the user to create zones for detecting movement patterns, location, etc. You can activate one of the AI detections to get precise reports and analytics. Once you select one of the AI functions and select its schedule, A.I. Detection will trigger recording, email, or push notifications in addition to video recording in a unique color and tag.

Privacy = Security
Privacy is at the heart of Camius security systems; your cameras will only be available to accounts you create, secured with passwords. Security footage is stored on your hard drive instead of cloud-based camera systems. Even while using the essential P2P method for connection, your system remains secured behind your password, and no one else has access to this connection.
Large organizations can have multiple users to operate the system based on the admin’s permissions.
NVR software
Camius security systems go beyond the HDMI monitor and smartphone app. The free NVR software can turn any desktop, laptop, PC, or Mac into a 24/7 surveillance station. Users can monitor live video and audio streams in addition to playback and manage cameras with access to device settings. This software is excellent for multiple installations as it combines cameras connected to a Camius NVR and individual Camius cameras on one screen. The software can display Up to 128 cameras on the same screen and manage multiple devices from different locations. Follow this guide on how to add the NVR to the software
