QNAP Security is releasing its new Viostor NVR firmware QVR 5.0 (QNAP Viostor Recording System), introducing an intelligent desktop with multi-window design, simplified user interface, and newly added features including floating tool bar, playback shuttle bar, and video thumbnails.

The Viostor NVR also supports license management for flexible channel expansion and remote access via the myQNAPcloud service. The company believes that security administrators will enjoy an unprecedented surveillance monitoring and management experience with the innovative QVR 5.0.

“Intuitive operation and ease of use are the main concepts for QVR 5.0,” said Andrew Yu, product manager of QNAP Security. “While the typical NVR system may be complex and hard to use, QVR 5.0 revamps the user interface bringing truly intuitive tools and features to make daily surveillance tasks, whether in live-view, recording, playback or management, extremely easy and effortless.”

QVR 5.0 offers an innovative desktop design to support multi-window operations to compliment smooth working efficiency. The multi-window design allows concurrent multi-tasking and enables administrators to easily switch between tasks to increase productivity.

The new embedded, revamped user interface greatly enhances the user experience and usability. The floating tool bar simplifies the monitoring layout with convenient operations via mouse; the playback shuttle bar enables fast-forward video playback to quickly find desired screenshots; video thumbnails over the timeline help users to quickly identify & search events.

Administrators can also set up IP-cameras directly on the monitor screen with no interruption while monitoring and can also conduct instant playback immediately an alarm event occurs.
