Technical Overview
This NVR handles video streams using H.265+, H.264+, and H.265 codecs, which compress footage efficiently to conserve storage while maintaining 4K quality. The 30 fps maximum frame rate ensures smooth playback for real-time monitoring or review. Four PoE+ channels power and connect compatible cameras over a single Ethernet cable, simplifying cabling and reducing installation complexity.
Network connectivity is wired-only, providing stable, high-bandwidth data transfer for uninterrupted recording. The system supports up to 8MP resolution per channel, capturing fine details essential for identification and evidence. Audio input and output ports enable integration with microphones and speakers for comprehensive surveillance setups.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Channels, Connectivity Technology, Recording Formats, Video Formats, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
