What makes Hikvision eDVR series different?

Eco-friendly and energy-efficient

Thanks to advanced eSSD technology, the eDVR Series consumes less power than traditional DVRs, delivering both economic and environmental advantages. 

  • The energy consumption of an eDVR can be as minimal as 5.42 to 5.82 Watts, while A conventional DVR generally uses about 9.48 to 11 Watts. 
  • Users enjoy per-device energy savings of 40 - 45 kWh per year (equal to 3,000 smartphone charges)
  • Further underscoring Hikvision's commitment to sustainability, the eDVR packaging materials are biodegradable, demonstrating Hikvision's extensive efforts toward a greener footprint.

An embedded solid state drive

The embedded solid state drive delivers industrial-level storage for video monitoring with sustained performance.

Users save money and time – no HDD installation necessary – and enjoy better DVR performance with extended capacities.

  • The “screwless” design makes tool-free installation possible
  • Reduces setup time by up to 70%

Efficient video analytics

Our eDVRs feature Motion Detection 2.0 or AcuSense, which enables human and vehicle detection with accurate alarms.

By minimizing false alarms triggered by insignificant moving objects such as animals and falling leaves, users can focus on real threats. It's cost-effective and time-saving without losing important details.

Make the most of your storage

An eDVR’s storage is predictable thanks to Hikvision’s Scene-Adaptive Bitrate Control technology. How does that help?

Here's an example: When an eDVR analyzes a high-complexity scene, it accurately allocates a higher bitrate to ensure great video quality. A scene with fewer moving objects, or none at all, will generate a stream with a much lower bitrate.

  • Coding efficiency improves by 20%
  • Multiple storage periods are available, including 2-, 4-, and 8-week recordings
