• Systems requiring third-party camera compatibility
• Projects using ANPR, people counting, or fisheye cameras
• Professional CCTV control rooms and rack-mounted installations
Connect Gates Recommendation:
• Recommended for professional Hikvision IP surveillance projects where storage reliability and long recording duration are more important than basic NVR cost.
• Suitable for customers who need 8 HDD bays, RAID protection, dual display outputs, and high bandwidth performance in a 16-channel system.
• Compared with standard 4-SATA NVR models, this model is stronger for storage-heavy and mission-critical projects because it supports 8 HDDs and RAID arrays.
• Since this model does not include built-in PoE ports, cameras should be powered using a separate PoE switch or external power source.
