The rate of false alarms triggered by small animals, tree movement, shadows, rain, snow and bright lights is significantly lower than traditional IVS and motion detection solutions.

An advanced predictive algorithm enables the camera to identify objects and separate SMD and IVS alarms into two categories; People or Vehicles while simultaneously filtering out unwanted notifications from bugs, small animals, etc.

The new AI SEARCH function allows you to quickly search and sort video footage by alarm type. You can search for alarms triggered by people or by vehicles. Ultimately saving you valuable time when reviewing footage.

When it comes to simplicity, Montavue has made it so simple that you just need to plug the included Cat5e ethernet cable with each camera into this NVR, and the other end into the camera, wait a minute or two and the camera will be auto recognized and pop up on your screen. The PoE simplicity is perfect, as both power and video are transferred through the same cable. It also gives you flexibility with installation. You can run one single cable from the NVR up to 300ft, and then if you need to go further you can hook a PoE switch up and you can run it an additional 300ft for a total of 600ft. Each one of our Montavue cameras come with a 100ft cat5e cable.

With IP cameras the fun doesn’t stop there. You can bring in cameras to your NVR that are plugged in from around the world as long as they have internet access. This gives you limitless capability, and with the ONVIF compatibility of these cameras (all Montavue cameras are ONVIF compatible which means), you can use them on ONVIF compatible software and recorders. For plug and play compatibility we recommend Montavue IP cameras.

Montavue 2K and 4K surveillance cameras are equipped with the best components made on the market to produce the clearest image possible. We strive to produce quality cameras that will give each one of our customers the best image at a very competitive price. Every Montavue camera is equipped with industry-leading True Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), Backlight Compensation (BLC), Highlight Compensation (HLC), and 3D Dynamic Noise Reduction technologies (3D DNR). WDR, BLC, and HLC all fix lighting issues with producing a quality image by minimizing the effects of bright backgrounds and foregrounds and lights in between. The goal is to produce an image that looks similar to if you were there in person. 3D DNR is an important feature for night vision and low light video. It reduces the fuzzy hazy images that are produced from noise transmitted from the camera, which creates a clearer image, cuts down on storage, and reduces false motion alerts.

The MTT5098-AISMD turret camera has an impressive built-in audio microphone to record anything going on within about a 30+ft radius of the camera. There is no need to run a separate cable, it all transmits through the same ethernet cable. Audio recording adds another layer of security coverage to your camera by allowing you to match conversations with incidents, break-ins, etc. It also allows you to listen in on things in the area that the camera may not be viewing. This camera is packed with features and is a very affordable solution with audio compared to the competition.

*Note, audio recording without consent is illegal in some jurisdictions. You can choose to not use that feature. Montavue LLC assumes absolutely no liability for use of its products that does not conform with local laws. Please consult your local laws when using the audio feature.

With the Montavue 4K NVR's you are able to record your security footage in four ways, and using a different setting on each camera. First you have continuous recording to your hard drive, this gives you continuous coverage with no gaps, but uses the most hard drive storage. Second, you can schedule the cameras to record only during certain times, for example when you leave for work or away from home. Third, you can set up motion detection and the NVR will only record when the camera senses that motion. This advanced 4K NVR uses a pre-recording function that allows you to record up to 5 seconds before the motion was detected, so you don't miss the moments before the motion. Lastly, you can use advanced IVS features such as tripwire, intrusion, and more to initiate recording.

All of these settings are individual to each camera, giving you the ability to have some set as continuous in high-traffic areas, and some scheduled, while the rest are motion. This allows you to maximize your storage capacity

The MNR12082-8 8 port 4K NVR and MTT5098-AISMD 2K cameras are equipped with top of the line H.265 video compression. Compression is what helps minimize the storage needed to store your video and also reduces the bandwidth needed to send video through the network and to your mobile device. With H.265 compression, you can save up to 50% of storage compared to traditional H.264 compression. Or you can save up to 2x as much video when compared to H.264 with the same amount of storage used. Additionally, it increases the speed at which video transmits through the network and to your mobile device as they are smaller files.

• H.265 compression reduces the amount of storage by 50% compared to traditional H.264 compression
• H.265 compression reduces the file size which in turn increases the speed at which you receive video on your mobile devices and takes up less bandwidth on your network

If you need to pull your most important clips off your NVR so the hard drive doesn’t overwrite them, we have equipped the NVR with 2 USB ports. Just plug it in, transfer video, and you won’t lose those important moments.

Equipped with 1 HDMI port and 1 VGA port you can choose whether you want to display standard or high definition output to any monitor with live view, playback, etc.
