The new Lenovo EMC NVRs are aimed at businesses with an existing network storage-based video surveillance network as well as those participating in the ongoing industry upgrade from analogue-based surveillance systems.

The new Lenovo EMC NVRs are the first in the industry to feature Milestone Arcus, the newest video management software (VMS) from Milestone.

“Customers that need dependable, affordable video surveillance will benefit from the integration of the new Milestone Arcus VMS platform with Lenovo EMC network storage,” said Eric Arcese, president and general manager, LenovoEMC. “The result is a dedicated digital video recorder appliance with superior reliability, image quality, ease-of-installation and affordability, as well as the versatility to handle an organisation’s network storage needs.”

Each model also comes with a one-year software update plan, enabling users to receive the latest feature updates and releases from Milestone.
