Product Details & Technical Specifications
UNV NVR508-64B
The UNV NVR508-64B is a professional 64-channel network video recorder designed for large commercial and enterprise IP video surveillance systems requiring high camera capacity, substantial recording bandwidth, scalable storage, and centralized security management.
Supporting recording resolutions up to 16 megapixels, up to 320Mbps incoming bandwidth, eight internal SATA hard-drive bays, RAID storage, N+1 hot-spare operation, independent or simultaneous HDMI and VGA display configurations, and Uniview Ultra 265 compression, the NVR508-64B provides a dependable recording platform for demanding multi-camera installations.
Standard Non-PoE Recorder
The NVR508-64B does not include built-in PoE camera ports. All IP cameras must connect through compatible external PoE switches or the existing network infrastructure.
This is the standard NVR508-64B and should not be confused with the NVR508-64E-IQ, NVR508-64E-R, or NVR508-64E-R-IQ models.
Product Highlights
64-Channel IP Camera Support
Connect and manage up to 64 compatible IP cameras for centralized live viewing, recording, playback, event review, and administration.
Up to 16MP Recording
Supports recording from compatible cameras at resolutions up to 16 megapixels for detailed professional surveillance video.
High Network Throughput
Provides up to 320Mbps incoming and 160Mbps outgoing bandwidth for demanding multi-camera recording and remote-viewing systems.
Eight SATA Hard-Drive Bays
Accommodates up to eight compatible surveillance hard drives for extended recording retention and flexible storage planning.
RAID 1 and RAID 5
Supports RAID storage configurations, disk groups, and redundant recording to improve storage resilience.
N+1 Hot-Spare Support
A compatible standby recorder can assume recording duties if a primary recorder becomes unavailable in a supported deployment.
4K HDMI and VGA Display
Supports HDMI output up to 4K and flexible simultaneous or independently configurable HDMI and VGA viewing modes.
Ultra 265 Compression
Supports Ultra 265, H.265, and H.264 formats to help reduce storage usage and network-bandwidth requirements.
Designed for Large Surveillance Systems
The NVR508-64B combines high camera capacity, extensive internal storage, substantial network bandwidth, and centralized administration in a professional 2U rack-mount enclosure.
- Up to 64 compatible IP camera channels
- Up to 16MP recording resolution
- Eight internal SATA interfaces
- RAID 1 and RAID 5 support
- N+1 recorder hot-spare capability
- Up to 16-channel synchronous local playback
- Dual Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
UNV and Third-Party Camera Support
The recorder supports compatible Uniview cameras and supported third-party IP cameras using ONVIF Profiles S, G, and T or RTSP.
- ONVIF Profile S support
- ONVIF Profile G support
- ONVIF Profile T support
- RTSP network-stream support
- Local, browser, software, and mobile access
- Cloud upgrade support
Compatible Smart Event Integration
When paired with compatible intelligent cameras, the NVR508-64B can receive, display, record, and search supported camera-generated smart events and VCA data.
Supported functions may include face detection, vehicle detection, license-plate recognition, intrusion detection, cross-line detection, Ultra Motion Detection, temperature alarms, people counting, video metadata, traffic monitoring, and heat-map reporting.
This standard recorder does not provide the same recorder-side AI processing available on IQ-series models. Smart functions depend on the connected camera, firmware, available system resources, and configuration.
Eight-Bay Storage and RAID
*Uniview’s current online specification lists support for up to 24TB per compatible hard drive. Maximum capacity may vary by firmware, approved hard-drive model, physical drive dimensions, operating temperature, and product revision. Hard drives are sold separately unless specifically included with the selected 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 ONVIF profile support, firmware, authentication method, video codec, resolution, frame rate, audio format, stream profile, and smart-event support. Full functionality is not guaranteed with every third-party camera.
Storage and Recording-Retention Notice
Recording retention depends on camera count, resolution, frame rate, bitrate, compression format, scene activity, recording schedule, smart-event configuration, hard-drive capacity, and RAID 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 manufacturer warranty terms, serial-number verification, product eligibility, and NSI Security’s applicable Terms and Conditions.
Important Product Information
Specifications are subject to change without notice. Features, camera compatibility, smart functions, storage capacity, hard-drive support, recording performance, decoding capability, bandwidth, display output, cloud access, and overall system performance may vary depending on firmware, connected cameras, hard-drive models, 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 provided by an IQ-series model.
Please verify current manufacturer documentation and NDAA status before ordering for government, public-sector, or compliance-sensitive projects.
