Product Details & Technical Specifications
Important PoE Notice
This NVR does not include built-in PoE ports. IP cameras must be connected through separate PoE switches, network switches, fiber uplinks, or properly designed network infrastructure.

Installation Tip
For 128-camera systems, plan the network carefully before installation. Confirm total camera bitrate, recorder incoming bandwidth, switch uplink speed, VLAN design, PoE power budget, fiber uplinks if needed, HDD capacity, RAID design, remote viewing upload speed, and UPS battery backup. Large systems should be designed around bandwidth and storage requirements, not just channel count.
Note: Specifications are subject to change without notice. Channel capacity, recording resolution, HDD support, RAID behavior, storage performance, video output behavior, audio functions, PoE requirements, ONVIF compatibility, remote viewing performance, decoding performance, and overall system performance may vary depending on firmware version, camera model, hard drive model, network setup, bitrate settings, recording schedule, RAID configuration, system configuration, and installation environment. This model is currently included on Uniview’s official NDAA-compliant product list; however, manufacturer listings, product revisions, and project requirements may change. Please always double-check the manufacturer’s official specifications and current NDAA documentation before ordering for government, public-sector, federally funded, or other compliance-sensitive projects.
