NVR (Network Video Recorder) devices

Adding an NVR to BLAZE enables playback of recorded footage stored on the NVR. The video is played directly from the NVR and is not stored separately on the BLAZE server.

When registering an NVR, you cannot select individual sub-channels. All channels included in the NVR are registered together (e.g., a 64-channel NVR registers all 64 channels at once).

After registration, NVR channels appear in the device list in one of the following states:
  • White: The camera is registered with the NVR and is connected.
  • Gray with an X icon: The camera is not registered with the NVR.
  • White with an X icon: The camera is registered with the NVR but is currently disconnected.
Note: If a new camera is added to a registered NVR, previously gray channels change to white and the X icon is removed.
