8 Channels, 4K Clarity, One Box

This 8-channel NVR records in true 4K Ultra HD (8MP) resolution, giving you sharp, detailed video for identifying faces, license plates, and other critical details. With 80 Mbps incoming bandwidth, it handles high-resolution streams from all eight cameras without dropping frames.

Built-In PoE — No Extra Switch Needed

The NVR includes an 8-port PoE switch, so you can power and connect up to eight IP cameras using a single Ethernet cable per camera. This eliminates the need for a separate PoE switch and simplifies installation — ideal for small businesses and residential projects.

AI Detection That Actually Works

Motion Detection 2.0 with human and vehicle analysis filters out false alerts from leaves, animals, or passing cars. The NVR analyzes video on up to 4 channels simultaneously, sending you only relevant notifications through the Hik-Connect app. You save time reviewing footage and get real alerts that matter.

Dual HDD Bays for Long-Term Storage

With two SATA bays supporting up to 8TB each, you can store up to 16TB of footage locally. Smart H.265+ compression reduces file sizes by up to 75% compared to H.264, extending your recording time without sacrificing image quality. No cloud fees, no monthly subscriptions.
