Two situations, honestly: sites where finding events fast matters (retail loss, compounds, schools), and mixed or older camera fleets where the NVR adds intelligence the cameras lack.
The grid runs from compact IQ-series units for 4–16 cameras up to enterprise machines handling 64–256 channels with 16–24 bays, RAID and redundant power — face search, person/vehicle filtering, and search-by-image plus video structuring on the higher models. Per-model AI channel counts are printed on each page.
If the cameras already run person/vehicle detection at the edge, a standard NVR often does the job — we will say so in the free BOM review rather than sell you AI you do not need.

NVR-side AI works with ordinary IP cameras — the recorder does the analysis. Results improve with good camera placement (face height, adequate light at choke points). Same-brand smart cameras add higher-accuracy modes; per-model support is stated on each page.
On the higher enterprise models, yes — search-by-image takes a snapshot and finds matching appearances across the archive. Mid-range IQ units offer face and person/vehicle filtered search. Which tier supports what is printed per model; tell us the use case and we will point at the right one.
