Hikvision have just announced their new NVR server appliance called Blazer Pro. It can connect to existing DVRs & NVR & offer centralized management & storage. Even Offers a "dual board" design offering complete redundancy. Politics and other arguments aside, it seems like a great little product to me to be honest. Like the 360 degree autotracking dome, Hikvision seem to be coming up with some great new genuine products recently. Comments please!
