256-Channel Professional Network Video Recorder | 4K Output | RAID Storage | Flexible Monitoring
The Uniview NVR824-256-R-IM2-16G is a high-performance network video recorder built to handle large IP camera systems for businesses, campuses, and multi-building properties. It supports up to 256 network cameras, allowing you to centrally record and manage video from across a wide area without needing multiple recorders.
This recorder is designed for efficient, long-term video storage. It uses advanced video compression formats — Ultra 265, H.265, and H.264 — to help save hard drive space while keeping footage clear and detailed.
For viewing and playback, the NVR824-256-R-IM2-16G offers two HDMI outputs and one VGA output with up to 4K (3840 × 2160) resolution support, so you can display crisp video on large monitors or TVs. Each video output can be used independently, letting you see different live views or playback screens side-by-side.
This recorder also supports RAID storage configurations — including hot-swap drive bays — so you can protect your video data and replace drives without shutting down the system. It includes features like ANR technology to improve reliability if a camera’s network connection is interrupted, and cloud upgrade support to keep the system up-to-date.
Additional capabilities include snapshot and live view options, flexible live display layouts, and support for industry standard network protocols — offering a robust platform for professional surveillance systems.
