Connect up to 32 IP cameras with as much as 320 Mbps of incoming bandwidth. That gives you room to protect more entrances, parking areas, hallways, offices, warehouses, or other critical areas while keeping the system centralized.

The NVR provides deep-learning-based analytics including perimeter protection and Motion Detection 2.0. Its NVR-side perimeter protection can distinguish humans and vehicles, helping reduce false alarms so operators can spend less time reacting to irrelevant movement.

When compatible Hikvision AcuSense cameras have AcuSearch enabled, the recorder supports AcuSearch across all channels and can model up to 300,000 targets per day. Instead of relying only on manually scrubbing through long timelines, operators have a more efficient way to investigate recorded activity.

The recorder supports up to 4 channels of human face capture and up to 8 channels of face picture comparison. It can maintain as many as 16 face picture libraries containing up to 50,000 face pictures in total, providing useful capabilities for surveillance applications where identifying and comparing faces is important.

Eight SATA interfaces support hard drives with capacities of up to 16 TB per disk, plus the recorder includes an eSATA interface. That gives you considerably more flexibility when designing a system around longer retention periods or larger camera deployments.

Support for RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, and global hot spare gives professional installations multiple ways to configure their storage around performance and redundancy requirements. RAID and NVR AI functions are mutually exclusive, so the recorder should be configured according to the priority of the installation.

H.265+ compression can reduce required storage space by up to 75%, helping you use installed hard-drive capacity more efficiently. The recorder also supports H.265, H.264+, and H.264 for greater flexibility across compatible video streams.

Two HDMI outputs support up to 4K resolution, while two VGA outputs provide additional display flexibility. HDMI1 and HDMI2 can operate independently, making the recorder better suited to control rooms and installations where different video layouts may need to be displayed simultaneously.

Review recordings from as many as 16 channels simultaneously, making it easier to follow an incident across different camera views instead of checking each recording separately.

Smart search allows an operator to select an area within recorded video, while smart playback is designed to improve playback efficiency. When something happens, the goal is not simply to know that footage exists—it's to be able to get to the relevant footage efficiently.

For retail and point-of-sale environments, the NVR can overlay POS information on live view and playback and supports POS-triggered recording and alarms. This can make it easier to investigate activity surrounding a transaction without relying on video and transaction records as completely separate sources.

The recorder supports ONVIF Version 2.5 and RTSP camera access protocols, while its API support includes ONVIF Profile S/G, SDK, and ISAPI. This provides additional integration flexibility when designing a compatible IP surveillance system.
