NVR Back Panel

Here is a view of the back panel of the NVR so that you can see all of the ports and connections. Please click on the image for a larger view.


Built-in Power over Ethernet (PoE)

PoE IP Camera NVR

Viewtron NVRs have built-in PoE ports that allow you to plug PoE IP cameras directly into the Ethernet ports. The NVR provides power to the cameras over these PoE ports, and the cameras automatically connect to the NVR software. This makes installation extremely easy for DIY and professional installers. We highly recommend Viewtron IP cameras with PoE for use with these NVRs.

Here is some additional information about the ports on the back of the NVR (starting from left to right).

  • The power supply adapter that is included with the NVR plugs into this port. (labeled in purple)
  • To the right of the PoE ports, there is a LAN port. If you plan on connecting your NVR to a network and / or the Internet, you will use this port to connect to your router or switch with Ethernet cable (CAT5 or CAT6).
  • Viewtron NVRs have HDMI and VGA monitor outputs. Both of these monitor outputs can be used at the same time (dual monitor support). The displays are mirrored (must be the same).
  • The USB port can be used for the mouse that is included or to connect a USB drive for video backup / export.
  • There is one audio input port for an audio surveillance microphone. There is one audio output to connect external speakers.
  • Burglar alarm sensors can be integrated into these NVRs using the alarm input / alarm output ports.

Complete Security Camera System Quote

Security Camera System

Did you know? CCTV Camera Pros can provide a complete surveillance system quote that includes any Viewtron DVR / NVR with cameras, cables, connectors, power supplies, and monitors? We can even mix and match IP cameras and BNC security cameras because Viewtron DVRs are hybrid. This means that they work with just about any type of security camera. As you have probably already seen on our website, we have 2, 4, 8, and 16 camera surveillance systems in pre-made packages. However, it is not possible for us to package up every combination and quantity of all the different camera models that we carry. So, we can also provide you with a custom quote with as many cameras as you need and a mix of any combination of camera model(s) based on your project requirements.

ANPR / LPR Software

ANPR LPR Software

The Viewtron network video recorders have built-in LPR / ANPR software. This software is included. There are NO additional license fees!

Important Note: License plate recognition software functions ONLY work with this Viewtron LPR camera.


Video Storage Space / Surveillance Hard Drive Upgrade

Will the standard size hard drive be large enough storage for the number of days of recording that you require? You can use our online video storage calculator to estimate how much hard drive space you will need for your NVR. Please note that CCTV Camera Pros only uses video surveillance hard drives designed for constant writing operations. Standard PC hard drives should not be used.


ONVIF Compliant NVR

Viewtron NVRs are ONVIF compliant. This means that in addition to working with Viewtron IP cameras, they are also compatible with IP cameras from other manufacturers (as long as those IP cameras are ONVIF compatible). Viewtron NVRs are a great QSEE NVR replacement. They can also replace Samsung, Night Owl, and any other ONVIF compatible NVR.


Cash Register / POS Text Integration

CCTV POS Installation

The above diagram shows how a POS camera system / cash register camera can be installed with a Viewtron NVR and IP cameras. Viewtron POS integration allows point of sale text overlay on one or more security cameras on your system. The point of sale / cash register text can be captured via direct network integration or via the cash register printer port (RS-232 port) using our POS text inserter box. This is done by connecting both devices to the same network switch or router using CAT5 or CAT6 network cable. The IP camera can also be connected to the switch or it can be connected directly to the Viewtron NVR (because the NVR has built-in PoE ports).

You can learn more about Viewtron Cash register camera system / POS Text overlay here. Watch the video on that page to see a demo of the POS text overlay on live video and the POS text search and playback capability. You can also view your POS text remotely from the Viewtron desktop software for Mac and Windows, and via the Android and iPhone mobile apps.


Optional Wireless Remote

DVR / NVR IR Wireless Remote Control

Most of our customers prefer to use the USB mouse that is included to control their DVRs and NVRs. However, we do have an optional wireless remote control available. One function that customers do find useful to be able to control with the wireless remote is the ability to switch between live video display screen layouts. All of the other controls are much more convenient to access using the mouse that is included.

5 of 5 Excellent Product May 23, 2024
Reviewer: Joshua T from Columbia, New Jersey  
The LPR camera paired with the suggested NVR handled our needs perfectly. Yes, it costs more than a bargain system on amazon but you really do get what you pay for with this.

5 of 5 Professional experts May 6, 2024
Reviewer: John W from Oakland, California  
I order a NVR from CCTV Camera Pros with no problems. The man researched my type of cameras to see if their NVR would be compatible. I took his advice and the machine worked perfectly. Initially I had a problem with setting it up, but the tech support person was very patient with me and guided me through the process. He was very professional, patient, and knowledgeable. He had my NVR going in about 2 minutes! Great work!

5 of 5 Top Rated Video Surveillance Products! March 26, 2024
Reviewer: CS from Newport News, VA  
CCTV Camera Pros will be my go-to for video surveillance and security peace of mind. I purchased a video system for my home December 2023. I had an opportunity to use and assess the customer service, reliability and functionality of the system. As of today, of writing this review, CCTV Camera Pros staff Mike, Greg and Carlos are amazing. You will be talking with real people and not waiting on the telephone for hours. The customer service response time is immediate feedback to resolve any issues or questions. Stop wasting time searching for weeks and months on google and YouTube for the best system. This is your one stop shop with experts in the field to meet your every need. Lastly, I had six incidents in the last two months of people who entered my video surveillance zone with 100% deterrence. Based on my experience with other companies such as Ring and Vivint; there’s no comparison regarding customer service dependability, remote access and playback speed. Stop procrastinating and invest with CCTV Camera Pros, you will not regret it!

5 of 5 Not only AMAZING equipment, but SUPERIOR long-term January 17, 2024
Reviewer: Carl S from Springfield, MA  
I needed affordable, modern-day advanced or AI Camera technology for a custom project that included License Plate Reading (LPR), Vehicle Detection, Face Recognition, Tripwire/Intrusion Zones, and Alarm Signal Output. I knew the technology existed and that integration was possible, but I didn't know where to find it until I found CCTV Camera Pros.

The Viewtron NVR AI system completely exceeded my expectations and in my opinion is well worth every penny.

The documentation, videos, and walkthroughs available directly from their website made setup and configuration and absolute breeze. While I didn't have any problems, I had some questions to clarify and was more than happy with their response time, clarity, and guidance.

As I moved to optimize my system, I needed some help and they did not hesitate to respond and help above and beyond what I would say you typically find these days from other companies. They CONTINUE to blow me away with how they do business and fully embrace the customer relationship. It is clear that the CCTV Camera Pros team take pride in what they do and *WANT* to teach people how to be better.

CCTV Camera Pros will continue to be my very first go-to for any new project!
