• 16 hot-swappable hard drive bays for seamless storage upgrades without downtime
• H.265 video compression for superior storage efficiency and bandwidth optimization
• 512 Mbps recording throughput with 7680x2560 decoding resolution
• Redundant 2.5 Gigabit dual LAN ports (650 Mbps remote client throughput)
• Multiple video output options: HDMI 4K, DisplayPort 8K, DVI, and VGA with dual monitor support
• RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 support for data protection and redundancy
• Redundant power supply with 80 Plus Platinum certification

Technical Highlights

The NR9682-V3 operates on Embedded Windows 10 with hardware and software watchdog protection, ensuring continuous operation. Its advanced decoding capabilities handle H.264 streams at 1920x1080@360fps and H.265 at 1920x1080@180fps, enabling smooth playback and real-time monitoring across all 64 channels.

Recording modes include continuous, event-driven, and customized scheduling with flexible pre-record (3-15 seconds) and post-record (10-60 seconds) buffers. Watermark protection and AES encryption secure all recorded footage. The system supports seamless recording with automatic recycling based on storage availability or preset retention periods.

Display and Monitoring

Live view and playback accommodate multiple display layouts: equal grids (1x1 through 8x8), panoramic (1P+6, 2P, 3P), focus views (1+12, 1+16, etc.), and vertical arrangements. Fisheye dewarp options include 1O, 1P, 1R, 1O3R, 4R, 2P, 4R Pro, and 1O8R modes. PTZ/ePTZ operation supports presets, patrols, auto-focus, tracking, and manual control.

Advanced Features

The NR9682-V3 includes comprehensive event detection: motion, tampering, camera disconnection, audio detection, PIR, shock detection, and SD card monitoring. Smart VCA (Video Content Analysis) counting and LPR (License Plate Recognition) solutions are supported. Alarm management features real-time notifications, filtering by time and trigger type, and state tracking (new, in-progress, false alarm, closed).

Integration capabilities include ONVIF Profile S cameras, Advantech ADAM-6000, CHIYU CYT-133SC, and MOXA ioLogik I/O boxes. POS integration via ARCH, UPS integration, failover support, and AD user authentication provide enterprise-ready management. Up to 4,096 user accounts with custom roles offer granular access control.

Storage and Connectivity

Manual backup supports USB (FAT format) and NAS (SMB/CIFS); scheduled backup uses NAS protocols. The system supports IPv4, TCP/IP, HTTP/HTTPS, RTSP/RTP, FTP, DHCP, DNS, DDNS, and iSCSI protocols. Audio formats include G.711, G.726, AMR, and MPEG-2 AAC-LC with 2-way audio capability.

Applications

Ideal for large facilities including airports, transportation hubs, retail chains, industrial campuses, government buildings, and critical infrastructure requiring high-capacity surveillance with minimal storage footprint and uninterrupted operation.

The NR9682-V3 represents Vivotek's flagship NVR platform for demanding deployments. The combination of 512 Mbps throughput, dual 2.5GbE ports, and H.265 compression makes this system well-suited for environments where bandwidth and storage are constrained yet uptime cannot be compromised. The 16 hot-swappable bays and redundant power eliminate common maintenance pain points; drives can be replaced without shutdown.

RAID 6 and 10 options provide defense against multi-drive failures. The support for up to 192 channels via licensing offers future scalability without hardware replacement. Advanced search capabilities—Smart Search II, Data Magnet, Deep Search—accelerate incident investigations.

For organizations requiring ONVIF compliance, cybersecurity management, and Windows AD integration, this NVR delivers enterprise-grade feature depth rarely seen at this channel density.
