Support answers

When writing a review due to conflicting information on the Internet, several questions arose. We were forced to contact technical support for some of them.

Question 1. Which DVRs can be connected to NoviCloud? I read in the manual that only F-series DVRs are connected, is that right?

Question 2. Can these DVRs be used with older analog cameras, or does the whole system need to be replaced? What cameras can generally be connected to the company's cloud DVRs?

Answer: You can connect absolutely any camera, there is no need to change old analog cameras. You need to connect the cameras to the new cloud DVR, and set up data transfer to the cloud.

Answer: Now the NoviCloud and XmEye applications for Android and IPhone are relevant. You can download it from Play Market and AppStore.

Functionality

Users get access to recording on the server free of charge, around the clock and seven days a week. Any video recorder of the company is suitable for use.

To work with the cloud, the network data transfer rate must be at least one megabit per second. The cameras are connected to the Internet via a router, Wi-Fi or a USB modem.

The user gets all the necessary functions, including:

• The object can be monitored both from a computer and from any mobile device.
• Recording video stream on HDD. With help free application from a smartphone, you can connect to the archive on the hard drive of the DVR and view it remotely.

• Recording to the archive when moving or when extraneous noise. The alarm comes to email or in a mobile application.

• Screenshot or video recording to the device memory during online video broadcast from the camera.

Viewing from various devices

The NOVIcloud cloud service allows its users to control the movement of PTZ cameras and view images from them from a computer, laptop or any other mobile device.

For mobile devices requires installation of the NoviCloud or XmEye application, which have similar functionality and capabilities. Applications can be downloaded from GooglePlay - for Android and in App Store- for iOS.

Control from the application in its functionality is no different from control from a PC. The user can also create their own Personal Area, configure access rights, connect to various cameras and record a video image on a mobile device.

Advantages

The undoubted advantage is the ability to record not only to the cloud, but also to a hard drive up to 6 terabytes in size. This is one of the few services that supports hybrid and analog modes of operation.

The event log allows you to save up to 500 messages. Alarm notifications can come when a motion detector is triggered or when the camera is turned off. All messages have a date and time, which makes it easy to find the desired video file.

Though software based on the Linux OS, the service maintains contact with almost all latest versions the most common operating system Windows.

Forum users also pay attention to such convenience as the ability to split the screen into 4 and 9 cameras.

The use of the cloud is free for all users who purchase NoviCam DVRs. The cloud video service seems to play the role of a pleasant bonus to the sale of branded equipment.

Flaws

Among the shortcomings, it is worth noting frequent server overloads, due to which the image may stop being recorded at any time.

Also, users on the forums often complain about interruptions in the work of the cloud and the unstable operation of applications for viewing from mobile devices.

Data transfer to the cloud is carried out in an unsecured mode, there is no SSL certificate, which is an absolute minus of the service against the background of its main competitors, which use a secure HTTPS connection and have an SSL certificate.

There is a comment on the official forum where the user complains that he sees an image from someone else's store on his camera - system problems can give out similar unpleasant things.

Pairing the recorder with the NoviCloud cloud

Data transfer to the cloud is set in the DVR settings.

You need to go to the main menu, select the "Settings" sub-item in it, find " Network Services and click Cloud. After checking the box, click "OK".

Please make sure that the DVR is connected to the Internet before setting it up.

Checking is also carried out through the settings of the DVR. The connection was successfully established if the "NAT status" column is "connected".

To log in to the cloud, you need to open cloud.novicam.ru in Internet Explorer version 9 (or higher). Before that, you need to configure the browser itself. To do this, in its properties, you must first click on "Security", and then on "Other" at the bottom. In line " ActiveX Controls and connection modules" you need to check the "Enable" box in all subsections and click "OK". This must be done in two dialog boxes. After that, you need to restart the browser and, preferably, the computer.

If the computer has antivirus program, then it is advisable to disable it the first time you connect to the DVR - some antiviruses may block the installation of ActiveX components.

Conclusions and reviews about the NoviCloud service

The absolute advantages of the NOVIcloud service compared to competitors offering similar services are its complete rejection of monetization, as well as the possibility of parallel recording to a hard disk. After all, it is for uploading a video archive that many clouds take a lot of money.

The service can be used if you have old system video surveillance that you do not want to change - in this case, you can only buy a DVR, connect old cameras to it, and set up image transfer to the cloud.

In the event that a video surveillance system is being assembled from scratch, we will advise you on more reliable solutions from our rating, for example, IPEYE, which has no complaints of interruptions in operation and has more features, but it is paid. You can also check out other services from our rating.
