Introducing ND8301 Network Video Recorder
VIVOTEK ND8301 is an 8 CH Network Video Recorder designed for sophisticated recording ap-
plications. The unit is equipped with an Intel Dual-core Atom Processor with maximum recording
throughput at a robust 96 Mbps. RAID 0/1 is supported with two removable HDDs for backup
efficiency, with an external eSATA port for additional expansion. A first for the VIVOTEK NVR se-
ries, a local display output port is now available with full HD resolution (1920X1080), eliminating
the need for a separate PC to view video from the unit. Setup of parameters such as IP, HDD,
and basic camera configuration can easily be performed with the setup wizard, making the
ND8301 the easiest NVR to use yet. When using more than one of the same model of VIVOT-
EK camera, the “Shepherd” program can be used to duplicate configuration settings to multiple
cameras.
The ND8301 operating system is the VIVOTEK professional central management software
VAST, allowing for simple and effective management of a surveillance system using the Live-
client and Playback functions. As VIVOTEK camera features are fully integrated into VAST,
cutting-edge edge technologies such as SVC and Activity Adaptive Recording can be utilized to
conserve bandwidth and optimize recording. A server running VAST software can also directly
control ND8301, and compatibility with the iViewer application allows for access to the ND8301
on mobile devices. By integrating all of the components together using the VIVOTEK ND8301/
Cameras/VAST/iViewer, users can realize a fully featured and robust next-generation surveil-
lance system.
