Storage and recording time
The included 4TB hard drive stores footage locally. A second compatible drive can expand storage. Recording time depends on camera count, resolution, bitrate, frame rate and recording schedule.
Local recording and free remote viewing
Record and play back video locally without an internet connection. Use a properly configured internet connection for off-site phone or computer viewing. Standard local recording and supported remote viewing do not require a monthly cloud-storage subscription.
Is this the right recorder for your cameras?
Designed for businesses, warehouses and larger properties using coax-based cameras. Confirm the camera signal formats, resolution and audio method when replacing an existing DVR. A BNC connection alone does not guarantee video or audio compatibility. This DVR does not provide PoE power for the coax cameras.
Is 4K HDMI output the same as 4K recording speed?
No. HDMI describes the signal sent to a monitor. The published 4K / 8MP recording rate is up to 8 fps; camera input formats and playback decoding have separate limits.
