QNAP's VioStor network video recorder (NVR) series is among the first video management software (VMS) platforms to support the ACTi KCM3911 high Megapixel fisheye fixed network camera. The VioStor NVR allows users to view areas of a hemispheric image in both live or playback view. Users can also view a complete scene unfold without obstruction while simultaneously displaying multiple independent dewarped views from a ACTi KCM3911 camera.

This article will guide you to configure the VioStor NVR to record the videos from the ACTi KCM3911 network camera and setup the fisheye images for live monitoring.
