If you have for example a DIVAR 7000 AIO as central BVMS server and also, on the same network, you have a DIVAR Network Video Recorder (NVR) to which cameras are connected to and recording, the recording is typically handled by the NVR itself.

But, do you know what is the difference between individual & common search?

Aside from configuring the camera using its own browser, there are other tools you can use to setup the camera. The choice when using which tool will come down to the individual installer. Their experience and know-how of the tool will dictate which one they will use.
