TP-Link NVRs
This page holds TP-Link VIGI network video recorders (NVRs), which record IP cameras to internal SATA hard drives and use H.265+ compression to save storage. Models include 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64-channel recorders. PoE+ versions such as the NVR1004H-4P power each camera and carry its video over a single RJ45 cable, so the cameras need no separate power supply.

Choosing TP-Link NVRs
Count the cameras you need now and later, decide whether the recorder should power them, then size the storage.
Channels and PoE+
The NVR1004H-4P has four PoE+ ports of up to 30W from a 53W total budget. The NVR1008H-8MP has eight PoE+ ports at 30W per port and a 113W total budget, and the NVR2016H-16MP takes 16 IP inputs over PoE+ (IEEE 802.3af/at) with a 140W budget, so these cameras need no separate power supply. The NVR1008H takes eight IP cameras, and the NVR1016H sixteen at a maximum of 8MP.
Storage
The NVR1004H-4P takes one internal SATA drive, and the NVR1008H, NVR1008H-8MP and NVR1016H take one SATA drive. The NVR2016H-16MP has two SATA interfaces of up to 16TB each, 32TB in total. The NVR4032H has four SATA interfaces for 40TB in total, and the NVR4064H four for up to 64TB.
Viewing and playback
The NVR1004H-4P, NVR1008H-8MP and NVR2016H-16MP have 4K HDMI output. The NVR4032H outputs up to 3840x2160 at 30Hz over HDMI alongside VGA, and the NVR4064H has 2 HDMI and 1 VGA outputs for independent displays. Simultaneous playback covers 4 channels on the NVR1004H-4P and NVR1008H, 8 on the NVR1008H-8MP and 16 on the NVR4032H and NVR4064H.
Larger sites
The NVR4032H and NVR4064H have dual Gigabit Ethernet ports for multi-address mode, load balancing and network fault tolerance. The NVR4064H adds 16 alarm inputs and 4 alarm outputs, and the NVR2016H-16MP has 6 alarm inputs and 4 outputs.

Frequently asked questions
What is a TP-Link NVR?
A TP-Link NVR is a network video recorder from TP-Link's VIGI business security line, recording footage from IP cameras onto hard drives fitted inside it. It works with VIGI cameras and other ONVIF-compliant IP cameras, compresses video with H.265+ and allows remote viewing on a phone or computer. The range here includes recorders in several channel sizes for small shops and larger commercial sites.
Can a TP-Link NVR power cameras over PoE?
Yes, TP-Link VIGI NVRs with PoE+ ports can power and connect IP cameras through a single network cable, so the cameras need no separate power supply. Check the power per port and the total PoE budget against what the cameras draw, especially at night when infra-red is on. Recorders without PoE ports need a separate PoE switch. The range here includes four, eight and sixteen-channel PoE+ recorders.
How many cameras can a 16-channel TP-Link NVR record?
A 16-channel TP-Link NVR can record sixteen IP cameras at the same time, one per channel. Leave a few channels spare if the system may grow, and check the incoming bandwidth and the highest camera resolution the recorder supports. Larger sites can move to a 32-channel or 64-channel model instead. The range here includes a sixteen-channel recorder with PoE+ ports and one without.
