Sieora's NVR health monitoring software watches the one place a visual spot-check can't reach — inside the recorder. It polls every NVR and DVR for HDD failures, full disks, recording gaps and offline units, and alerts you before footage is lost, not after. This is NVR monitoring software built for recording uptime: one on-premise dashboard across every site, every recorder, every disk — for banks, hospitals, retail chains and campuses across India and worldwide. Stop discovering surveillance failures during the incident review.

Enterprises, manufacturers and fast-growing startups build with Sieora.
Your CCTV wall shows every camera live. Nothing is flagged. But deep in an NVR rack, a hard disk stopped writing three days ago — full, corrupted, or riddled with bad sectors. You won't find out until an incident forces you to review footage that no longer exists.
Live view and recording are different paths. The monitor can show a perfect image while nothing at all is being saved to disk.
Research by IPVM finds up to 30% of enterprise CCTV cameras are non-functional at any given time — and nobody's been told.
An incident, a dispute, an audit — the one time footage matters is the one time you learn it was never recorded.
This page is about the box and its disks — not the cameras. These are the faults that lose footage silently.
The commonest cause of lost footage. We track disk health, bad sectors, capacity and write errors, and flag a degrading drive early — while there's still time to swap it.
When a disk fills and overwrite logic fails, recording quietly stops. We alert on disks nearing capacity and on overwrite failures before the gap opens.
We verify each recorder is actively writing, not merely powered on — catching recording gaps and write failures the moment they start.
Disconnections, overheating, bitrate and firmware faults — the recorder-level conditions that precede a failure, caught while they're still warnings.
"The recorder is online" is not the same as "the footage is being saved." A ping tells you the box answered — nothing more.
A recorder can be perfectly reachable on the network while its disk is full, its write path has failed, or a drive has developed bad sectors. Real assurance means watching the whole chain — recorder up, disk healthy, footage actually written, retention intact — not just whether the unit responds.
That's the difference between monitoring that ticks a box and monitoring that saves you at the audit.
ONLINE · NOT WRITING
ALERT · ESCALATEDA silent failure is only dangerous because nobody's told. Sieora tells the right person, on the channel they actually watch, the moment a recorder drops or a disk starts to fail.
Each alert names the recorder, the site and the fault — "NVR 07, Anna Nagar branch, disk 94% full, overwrite failing" — so the fix starts without a diagnostic call.
If the first alert isn't acknowledged, it escalates up the chain — so a missed message never becomes a missing recording.
Enterprises don't run one recorder — they run dozens across branches, floors and cities. Sieora brings every NVR into a single on-premise view, colour-coded green, amber, red.
Group recorders by site, region, floor or custom tag. Compare uptime across locations and find the branch that's quietly failing.
See every recorder's true state from one screen — so the team stops driving out to each location just to check a light is on.
ALL SITES · ONE VIEWFor a bank, a recording gap isn't an inconvenience — it's a failed audit. Sieora turns recording uptime into evidence you can hand an auditor.
RBI norms require continuous recording at branches and ATMs. Sieora documents uptime and gaps in a report templated for that requirement.
Recording-availability percentages by recorder and by site — the numbers an AMC provider needs to prove the service level.
Every failure, alert and resolution timestamped in an immutable log — the paper trail insurers and auditors ask for.
Demonstrable recording history to support claims — because more policies now require proof the cameras were actually recording.
Detection is the start; prevention is the goal. Sieora watches the recorder, the disk, the storage and the connection together — because each layer catches failures the others can't see.
Degrading disks, rising temperatures and creeping capacity are flagged as warnings — long before they become a recording gap.
Every recorder carries a recording-availability score, so "is our CCTV working?" finally has a real answer.
Alerts, escalation and a logged resolution for every fault — reliability you can prove, not just claim.
Sieora layers over the recorders you already run — polling each one over ONVIF, RTSP or FTP. Any brand, any mix, across every site. Nothing to rip out.
Also monitoring the cameras themselves? This page covers the recorder and its disks. For lens-end faults — offline cameras, tampering, blur and angle drift — see our CCTV camera health monitoring software →. Most enterprises run both layers together.
No new recorders. No site visits. Running on your network.
Point Sieora at your NVRs and DVRs over ONVIF, RTSP or FTP — any brand, any site. Auto-discovery does the legwork.
Each recorder and disk is checked at set intervals — online, writing, capacity, temperature, bad sectors.
The moment something degrades, the right person is notified over Email, SMS, WhatsApp or Slack — with escalation.
Uptime and gap reports document that footage was being recorded — ready for an RBI, insurance or internal audit.
Anywhere a missing recording is a real problem — deployed across India.
RBI-mandated continuous recording. A gap fails the audit — so recording uptime has to be provable, branch by branch.
Medico-legal footage that has to exist when a case is reviewed. Silent disk failures aren't an option.
Shrinkage disputes and insurance claims both need footage — across dozens of stores, each with its own recorder.
Large camera counts, many recorders, strict access review. One dashboard beats a rack-by-rack walk.
Monitor every client's recorders remotely and prove the SLA with per-site uptime — without truck rolls.
On-premise health telemetry that never leaves the network, with audit-ready recording evidence.
Quoted on the recorders and sites you actually run — with a free pilot first.
NVR health monitoring software from Sieora is quoted on the number of recorders and sites you run, and it installs on your own servers — so there's no hardware to buy and no health data leaving your network. Set against one lost investigation or one failed audit, it pays for itself the first time it catches a silent disk:
Tell us your recorder count and number of sites and we'll size a quote — and run a free pilot so you can see what it catches on day one.
Representative examples. Replace with your verified deployment results before launch.
Across a branch network, a recorder's disk was flagged as failing days before it would have stopped writing — the gap was prevented, and the branch passed its recording-uptime review.
Recorders across dozens of stores moved onto one dashboard, ending routine site visits and surfacing the handful of locations that were silently not recording.
A CCTV AMC provider monitored every client's recorders remotely and produced per-site uptime reports — turning "trust us" into a documented service level.
