FortiRecorder NVR
The FortiRecorder network video recorder (NVR) provides central management for:
• configuring your cameras
• recording your video feeds
• viewing recordings and live video feeds
Camera support
The FortiRecorder NVR supports FortiCam series cameras from Fortinet and third-party
ONVIF-compliant cameras, although some of the third-party camera features may not be fully
supported. Therefore, you may want to configure those features through its built-in camera web
interface.
By default, every FortiRecorder or FortiRecorder-VM appliance supports one third-party
camera. If you want to connect more than one, you must purchase licenses from Fortinet. For
more information, please contact Fortinet or the resellers.
