Product Details & Technical Specifications
UNV NVR504-32B
The UNV NVR504-32B is a professional 32-channel network video recorder designed for commercial surveillance systems requiring high-resolution recording, substantial storage capacity, reliable network performance, and centralized camera management.
Supporting recording resolutions up to 16 megapixels, up to 320Mbps incoming bandwidth, four internal SATA hard-drive bays, RAID storage protection, independent HDMI and VGA display outputs, and Uniview Ultra 265 compression, the NVR504-32B is well suited for medium and large IP video surveillance deployments.
Standard Non-PoE Recorder
The NVR504-32B does not include built-in PoE camera ports. IP cameras must connect through a compatible external PoE switch or network infrastructure.
This is the standard NVR504-32B model and should not be confused with the NVR504-32B-IQ or NVR504-32B-P16-IQ models.
Product Highlights
32-Channel IP Camera Support
Connect and manage up to 32 compatible IP cameras for centralized live viewing, recording, playback, event review, and system administration.
Up to 16MP Recording
Supports high-resolution recording from compatible cameras at resolutions up to 16 megapixels for detailed evidentiary video.
High Network Bandwidth
Provides up to 320Mbps incoming and 160Mbps outgoing bandwidth for demanding multi-camera surveillance installations.
Four SATA Hard-Drive Bays
Accommodates up to four compatible surveillance hard drives, allowing storage capacity to be configured around recording duration, camera count, resolution, and frame rate.
RAID 1 and RAID 5 Support
Supports RAID storage configurations and redundant recording options to help improve storage resilience in professional surveillance environments.
Independent HDMI and VGA Outputs
Provides HDMI output up to 4K resolution along with independent VGA output for flexible local monitor configurations.
Ultra 265 Video Compression
Supports Ultra 265, H.265, and H.264 video formats to help reduce storage and network-bandwidth requirements when used with compatible cameras.
Automatic Network Replenishment
ANR technology can retrieve supported edge recordings from compatible cameras after a temporary network interruption, helping improve recording continuity.
Built for Multi-Camera Surveillance
The NVR504-32B combines high camera capacity, substantial network throughput, flexible storage, and centralized administration in a compact 1U recorder.
- Up to 32 compatible IP camera channels
- Up to 16MP recording resolution
- Four internal SATA hard-drive interfaces
- RAID 1 and RAID 5 storage support
- Up to 16-channel synchronous local playback
- Two Gigabit Ethernet network interfaces
UNV and Third-Party Camera Support
The recorder supports compatible Uniview cameras and mainstream third-party IP cameras using supported ONVIF profiles and RTSP protocols.
- ONVIF Profile S support
- ONVIF Profile G support
- ONVIF Profile T support
- RTSP network-stream support
- Local, browser, client-software, and mobile access
- Cloud upgrade capability
Compatible Smart Event Integration
When paired with compatible intelligent IP cameras, the NVR504-32B can receive, display, record, and search supported camera-generated analytics and VCA events.
Supported functions may include face detection, vehicle detection, license-plate recognition, intrusion detection, cross-line detection, Ultra Motion Detection, temperature events, people counting, video metadata, heat maps, and traffic-monitoring events.
This standard recorder does not add IQ-series recorder-side analytics to ordinary cameras. Smart functions depend on the connected camera, firmware, feature licensing, system resources, and configuration.
Four-Bay Storage with RAID Support
*Uniview’s current online specification lists support for up to 24TB per compatible hard drive. Maximum supported capacity may vary by firmware, approved hard-drive model, physical drive dimensions, operating temperature, and regional product revision. Hard drives may be sold separately unless specifically included in the product option.

Ideal Applications
Third-Party Camera Integration
Third-party IP cameras may not be plug-and-play and may require manual network, ONVIF, RTSP, user-account, stream, codec, resolution, and frame rate configuration.
Compatibility may vary depending on the camera’s ONVIF profile, firmware version, authentication method, video codec, resolution, frame rate, audio format, stream profile, and supported smart events. Full functionality is not guaranteed with every third-party camera.
Storage and Recording-Retention Notice
Recording retention depends on the number of cameras, resolution, frame rate, bitrate, compression format, scene activity, recording schedule, smart-event configuration, hard-drive capacity, and storage redundancy settings.
Surveillance-grade hard drives are recommended. Hard drives are not included unless specifically stated in the selected product option.
Three-Year UNV Recorder Warranty
This UNV network video recorder includes a three-year manufacturer warranty when purchased through NSI Security, subject to the manufacturer’s warranty terms, product eligibility, serial-number verification, and NSI Security’s applicable Terms and Conditions.
Important Product Information
Specifications are subject to change without notice. Features, smart functions, camera compatibility, hard-drive support, storage capacity, recording performance, decoding capability, bandwidth, display output, mobile access, browser support, cloud functionality, and overall system performance may vary depending on firmware version, connected camera, hard-drive model, network configuration, installation environment, system settings, and regional product revision.
Smart analytics listed for this standard recorder are generated by compatible IP cameras and do not mean the recorder includes the same recorder-side analytics available on an IQ-series model. Always double-check the manufacturer’s current documentation and confirm system requirements before ordering.
NDAA status should be verified against the manufacturer’s latest compliance documentation before purchasing for government, public-sector, or compliance-sensitive projects.
