Top specs

  • Type

    NVR

    Recorder that uses IP cameras and network connection for video recording and management.

  • Number of Channels

    The maximum number of cameras that can be connected to and managed by the recorder

  • Resolution

    4K

    The highest resolution available on the market (also known as 8 Megapixels). It offers 4 times more detail than Full HD. This is cinematic quality that allows for maximum possible zoom to recognize critical details, even from a great distance.

  • Incoming Bandwidth

    This is the actual processing power of the recorder. It determines how much "load" (data) it can handle simultaneously from all cameras. A high number is necessary for many channels at high 4K resolution.


    • Example 1: You have 4 cameras of 5MP (each requiring ~8 Mbps). A total of ~32 Mbps is required. An NVR with 80 Mbps Incoming Bandwidth is more than enough.
    • Example 2: You have 16 cameras of 4K (each requiring ~12 Mbps). A total of ~192 Mbps is required. An NVR with 160 Mbps is not enough and will "lose" cameras or reduce their quality. Here, you need an NVR with at least 256 Mbps.

    370

  • HDD Slots

    The number of internal hard drives (SATA) that can be installed simultaneously in the recorder.

  • Maximum Capacity per Disk

    The maximum size (in TB - Terabytes) of the hard drive that the device "recognizes" and supports in each slot.

  • ONVIF

    ONVIF is a protocol that allows cameras and recorders from different manufacturers to communicate with each other.

  • Ports

    HDMI

    The digital output for video and audio. It is the standard way to connect the recorder to a modern TV or monitor (PC) and view your cameras in high resolution.

    PoE

    These ports allow you to connect IP cameras directly to the recorder. The camera receives power and transmits video through the same network cable, making installation extremely simple (plug-and-play).

    USB

    Its main use is to connect a mouse for menu navigation and settings. Additionally, it is used to connect a USB stick (flash drive) in order to export (take a backup of) specific video clips that interest you.

    Alarm Output

    Physical ports (terminals) that allow the recorder to give a "command" to external devices. For example, "As soon as I detect a person, activate an external siren or turn on the lights."

    Alarm Input

    Physical ports (terminals) that allow external sensors (e.g., door magnetic contact, radar) to send a "command" to the recorder (e.g., "The door just opened, start recording or send a notification").

  • Video Compression

    H.265+

    Smart version of H.265, designed for 4K/8K surveillance. It offers very low bandwidth in static scenes, combining high image quality with significant storage space savings.

    • The standard supports approximately 50–60 days of continuous recording on a 2TB hard drive 

    (Values and durations are indicative and based on standard settings. Actual performance may vary depending on resolution, frame rate, scene movement, and hardware.)

Description

Description

At a glance

  • Support for 32 12MP IP cameras: Simultaneous recording and management of 32 high-definition network channels.
  • Built-in 8TB hard drive: Pre-installed storage drive with support for up to 8 hard drives.
  • RAID 1/5/6/10 arrays: Full data protection and prevention of recording loss.
  • Full NDAA compliance: High security standards suitable for demanding environments.

Top processing power and dual HDMI

Manage up to 32 IP channels with a maximum recording resolution of 12 Mpx and an input bandwidth of 370 Mbps. The device features 4K HDMI and HDMI outputs for simultaneous high-definition display on multiple screens. In addition, it supports Fisheye Dewarping, allowing proper viewing and image correction from wide-angle cameras.

Absolute RAID protection and massive storage

Ensure the availability of your recordings thanks to the built-in 8TB hard drive, with the option to expand up to 8 drives of 10TB each. Support for RAID 1, 5, 6, and 10 arrays protects your files from potential hardware failure. At the same time, the H.265+ and H.264+ compression algorithms save valuable storage space without any loss in quality.

Advanced DirectIP Security and Networking

Enhance your network security with the built-in DirectIP, SSL, TLS, Firewall, and Chained Fingerprint technologies. The system features 4 Ethernet ports (1x Client, 3x Video in) and 2 SFP ports for optical fiber, providing standalone networking for the cameras. Compliance with the NDAA standard guarantees the highest security specifications.

Smart features and rich connectivity

Take advantage of artificial intelligence capabilities from connected cameras, such as perimeter protection, face detection, and object recognition. The recorder features 16 inputs and 4 alarm outputs, RS232/RS485 ports, as well as 4 eSATA ports and 3 USB ports for fast backup export.
