HDview HC816R8TB IP PoE 8MP 16CH NVR 8TB

What you get

8 TB is fitted and each of the two bays takes 10 TB, so there is headroom without changing the recorder.

Cameras and power

It takes up to 16 cameras. All 16 camera sockets carry power as well as picture, at 30 W per port and 240 W across all of them, so each camera runs on one lead and needs nothing at the far end. It records at up to 8MP.

Watching it and getting footage off

A monitor connects by HDMI or VGA. The screen divides into 1, 4, 6, 8 or 9 pictures. You can play back 16 channels at the same time. Footage comes off it on two USB sockets, one 2.0 and one 3.0.

Storage and fitting

Storage can go up to 10 TB in each of its two bays. The box is 315 × 380 × 53 mm and weighs 2.6 kg. It draws under 10 W before the drives are counted and works from -10 °C to 55 °C. ESP pairs it with the range of 24/7 HDview 5MP and 8MP and Rekor IP 2MP Cameras, and warrants it for 2 years.
