On the route
For a vending route, this NVR provides a centralized hub for up to eight PoE cameras. The included 2TB drive handles continuous 24/7 recording, ensuring footage exists for incident review. The PoE design reduces cabling complexity at the machine site. Operators can check live feeds or playback via the free mobile app without paying for cloud storage. The system runs independently with DHCP, so it works even if the internet connection at the site is down, though remote access requires a network link. It is a straightforward solution for securing multiple locations without ongoing software costs.
