The NVR-E6480 features Gigabit Ethernet ports, eMap, video motion detection, automatic
camera registration, and mobile apps for smart phone and tablet connectivity. The NVR-E6480,
capable of recording 300Mbps of video bandwidth, supports a wide range of resolutions in
H.264, MPEG-4 and M-JPEG formats. In addition, the NVR is able to work with extended

Motion
- Unlike the typical motion detection method, this motion video analytics algorithm can detect a
maximum of six regions in a view, including rectangle regions and polygon regions.
Tamper
- A camera that has been tampered with is not able to serve its purpose. To avoid this, NVR
offers an algorithm to detect whether any form of tampering has been done to a camera, be it
in the form of redirecting the angle of the camera, de-focusing the camera, covering, or spray-
painting the camera.
