Commercial Network Video Recorders

Commercial Network Video Recorders

Enterprise-grade recording solutions designed for maximum uptime. From serverless edge recording to high-density AI appliances, we secure your data when it matters most.

Reliable Enterprise NVRs with RAID Redundancy

A security camera is only as good as the system recording it. MetroCom deploys next-generation Network Video Recorders (NVRs) and server appliances that go beyond simple storage. Featuring integrated PoE switches, RAID redundancy, and embedded AI processors, our recorders actively manage bandwidth and process analytics without bogging down your network.

Uninterrupted Recording.
Zero Data Loss.

Our systems use multi-layer redundancy to ensure your footage is safe, even during hardware failures or network outages.

N+1 Failover

If a primary recorder goes offline, a hot-standby unit automatically takes over recording instantly, ensuring no gaps in your timeline.

Intelligent Compression

Advanced algorithms (Ultra 265 / Zipstream) analyze scenes in real-time, reducing storage requirements by up to 50% while maintaining crystal-clear foreground details.

Serverless Edge Recording

Eliminate the NVR entirely with "SolidEDGE" technology—cameras with built-in SSDs and VMS servers that record locally and sync to the cloud.

Solving Your Security Challenges

You don't always need to replace your entire camera fleet to get advanced features. Our AI-enabled recorders serve as a powerful processing bridge for your existing infrastructure. By channeling the video streams from older, standard IP cameras through the NVR's dedicated AI engine, the system can add object classification (People/Vehicles) and forensic search metadata to footage that never had it before. This cost-effective approach allows you to modernize your security capabilities and extend the life of your current hardware investment while still gaining the benefits of "Deep Search" analytics.

As your organization grows, your storage needs shouldn't become a bottleneck. Our enterprise recording servers are designed for massive scalability, supporting from a few terabytes up to petabytes of data in a single unified system. Featuring hot-swappable drive bays and support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10 configurations, you can expand storage capacity on the fly without powering down the system. Whether you are adding more high-resolution 4K cameras or extending your retention period from 30 days to a year, our infrastructure scales effortlessly to meet compliance and operational demands.

Complexity is the enemy of reliability. Our NVRs simplify the deployment process with integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches built directly into the rear panel. This allows you to connect cameras using a single network cable that handles both power and data transmission, eliminating the need for separate power supplies or complex third-party network switches. The recorder automatically detects, addresses, and configures connected cameras, drastically reducing installation time and cabling clutter. It’s a true "Plug-and-Play" solution that gets your system up and running in minutes, not days.

Security starts at the hardware level. Our recording appliances are fully NDAA-compliant and engineered with built-in defenses against physical and digital tampering. Each unit features a Trusted Platform Module (TPM 2.0) that encrypts the system's core to prevent malware attacks and unauthorized firmware changes. Secure Boot processes ensure that only verified software can run on the device. By hardening the physical appliance, we ensure that your recorded evidence remains pristine and admissible, protecting your liability and maintaining the chain of custody for all critical video data.

Advanced Recorder Techniques

Find Footage by Attribute

Stop scrolling through hours of video. Use "Attribute Search" to instantly filter footage based on metadata—find a "Red Vehicle," "Man in Blue Shirt," or specific "License Plate" in seconds.

Local Speed, Cloud Accessibility

Combine the speed of on-site recording with the convenience of the cloud. View low-latency live streams locally while backing up critical event clips to the cloud for safe-keeping and easy sharing.

Open Platform Architecture

Don't get locked in. Our recorders are fully ONVIF Profile S/G/T compliant, supporting thousands of third-party IP cameras, speakers, and IoT sensors.
