NVR recording efficiency

[tonester]

How efficiently can the Amcrest-branded NVR record a video stream that is being fed to it from a wireless camera (IP2M-841B)? I ask because I would imagine the video stream is being sent to both an NVR and to whatever viewing app I am using to view video (e.g., Amcrest View Pro). Can the NVR record video being sent to it wirelessly from the camera (i.e., camera not connected to my network via Ethernet cable)? Thanks!

Hello tonester,

Yes the NVR can efficiently record streams from multiple cameras. The NV4108 is the one with the best capabilities. It can record videos from cameras that are connected wireless to the router. The only thing to do is to have the NVR connect to the router hard wired as the NVR itself does not have any wireless capability.

Melvin, thanks for the quick feedback--will live view work smoothly (especially when viewing over cellular connection), given that the camera would be streaming video to both a client viewer AND to the NVR simultaneously? Is there enough wifi bandwidth (my cameras are connected to my network via wifi only) to support such video streaming to two (or more) client devices at the same time?

Hello tonester,

Most modern wifi routers can do it without any issue. if you view the device remotely, what also matters is your internet upload speed. The app can choose the sub stream of the camera to reduce the network load and thus give a fluent image.
