Nortek Control launched a new ELAN 4-Channel Onboard Network Video Recorder (NVR), a software-based recording solution for ELAN surveillance systems. It is tailored to mid-market and smaller installations and expands offerings for custom integrators, builders and homeowners. 

Features of the ELAN 4-Channel Onboard NVR include faster installation, setup and operation; 24/7 remote access and control via the ELAN mobile app; full control of video recording, playback and clip export via the system’s intuitive interface; and advanced video analytics and customized event tracking when used with ELAN surveillance cameras. The ELAN EL-SW-NVR software will operate with any ONVIF compliant camera and is optimized for use with ELAN cameras.

The new custom event marking capability of the ELAN 4-Channel Onboard NVR is pretty cool. For example, if a door is opened or a light is turned on, an event map can insert a custom-colored mark and message on the timeline when that event occurred. The homeowner can then navigate to that event mark and instantly see the corresponding video footage for security data capture.
