Video Surveillance NVR with PICOPC® NGHC Hypervisor mini Server

Introduction

In an era where security is a top priority, video surveillance has become a necessity for businesses, public spaces, and residential complexes. Traditional NVR (Network Video Recorder) solutions often face challenges like bandwidth limitations, high storage costs, and reliance on cloud services—which can lead to privacy concerns.

The PICOPC NGHC-241, with its powerful Intel 14th Gen processor, dual 2.5GbE LAN ports, high-speed NVMe storage, and hardware-accelerated video processing, offers a cutting-edge alternative to traditional NVR systems. Whether it's a retail store, corporate office, warehouse, or public facility, this compact yet powerful device provides a scalable, private, and high-performance video surveillance solution.

The Challenges of Traditional Video Surveillance

Many organizations rely on IP cameras for 24/7 monitoring, but off-the-shelf NVR solutions often come with limitations:

High Storage Requirements: 4K video feeds generate massive amounts of data, leading to high storage costs in cloud-based solutions.

Latency & Bandwidth Bottlenecks: Real-time monitoring and retrieval of video streams can be slow, especially over shared network connections.

Security & Compliance Risks: Storing surveillance data on third-party cloud platforms can compromise privacy and regulatory compliance.

Limited Scalability: Many pre-built NVR devices have fixed storage and processing capabilities, making them difficult to upgrade.

To address these issues, organizations need a high-performance, on-premises NVR solution that ensures low latency, secure storage, and AI-assisted video analytics.

How the PICOPC NGHC-241 Solves These Challenges

The PICOPC NGHC-241 is designed to handle real-time video processing and long-term video storage without compromising performance or security. Here’s how it stands out:

1. High-Speed Video Ingestion & Recording

With dual Intel 2.5GbE LAN ports, the device can handle multiple 4K IP camera feeds without network congestion.

Benefit: No dropped frames, smooth real-time video recording.  
Feature: RAID-enabled NVMe storage for high-speed data writing and redundancy.

2. Hardware-Accelerated Video Processing

The integrated Intel UHD 770 GPU offloads video decoding tasks, enabling instant playback, motion detection, and AI-powered surveillance analytics.

Benefit: Efficient AI-assisted security without lag.  
Feature: Supports facial recognition, license plate reading, and motion alerts.

3. Secure & Private Storage
