The HAW-S Series is the first 4K-ready NVR appliance from Sony with 4K recording and playback capability. It's ideal for use with Sony 4K cameras, supporting unique image output functions like Intelligent Cropping. Recording 4K image data with four times the resolution of Full HD, the HAW-S Series supports more effective, efficient video monitoring by providing excellent situational awareness plus the ability to recognise fine details in a scene and quick, accurate searches.

Multiple users can simultaneously and securely access live or recorded video via their smartphone or tablet from any location. In addition remote PC clients can securely access system functions via a web browser, with no need to install application software.

Multi-vendor support allows easy expansion through the addition of a growing choice of third party cameras and other devices to create a powerful, versatile monitoring system. Regular software updates give monitoring professionals the reassurance of top-flight performance and the addition of new features to expand system capabilities even further.

Monitoring workflow is enhanced with support for a wide range of smart analytical and automation functions. Supplied with all server functions pre-installed, the all-in-one HAW-S Series is ready to use 'out of the box' without requiring any additional application software installing. The hardware-based appliance gives integrators and installers the reassurance of guaranteed operational performance and stability, simplifying system design. A redundant disk array (RAID) further assures reliable operation and integrity of recorded data.
