QNAP® Security today launched the newest Linux-based VioStor NVR VS-2100L series. The 2-bay VS-2100L series, available in a tower form factor with 4 and 8 channels, is designed micro-size with macro-functions for the home and small office users. Compact but fully loaded with advanced features, the VS-2100L series supports smart recording, multi-stream support, edge recoding, dewarping function, and more.

The VS-2100L series supports up to 8TB to accommodate high quality H.264, MPEG-4, M-JPEG, and MxPEG video recording. “The VS-2100L series provides many advanced features parallel to those available in superior models at a low total cost of ownership,” said Amily Fang, product manager of QNAP Security. “We aim to offer a cost-efficient surveillance solution for home surveillance needs such as childcare, elder care, and home security.”

The VS-2100L’s smart recording effectively avoids the need for constant storage consumption, and achieves greater storage efficiency and boosts recording quality when alarm events happen. The multi-stream support enables administrators to flexibly define multiple video streams (supported by specific camera models) according to bandwidth resources and number of live-view channels.

A wide range of AXIS IP cameras for edge recording function is supported by the VS-2100L series. When an unexpected disconnection disrupts the VS-2100L’s recording from monitored IP camera(s), the edge recording feature enables the VS-2100L to retrieve missing videos that have been temporarily stored on the cameras once the network connection is restored, ensuring that important video streams are all properly stored.
