The Core Idea

Anomaly Detection in Network Video Recorders (NVRs) focuses on proactively identifying unusual events within surveillance systems.

NVRs are essential infrastructure for surveillance. AI monitors system

NVRs are essential infrastructure for surveillance. AI monitors system health—storage errors, stream drops, codec anomalies, and configuration changes—to detect tampering or failure.
