16 Channel 4K PoE+ NVR with AI Analytics and 16 PoE Ports, Avalonix

Experience the power of modern surveillance with the Avalonix NVR416PAI, a powerful, compact 16-channel 4K NVR with 16 PoE ports built for professional-grade security. This recorder is more than just a security camera recorder for PoE cameras; it’s a processing engine that not only streams and stores high-resolution footage but also has powerful AI analytics.

In addition to supporting AI video analytics across all channels from AI-powered Avalonix PoE cameras, it offers built-in AI processing capabilities on select channels for third-party ONVIF-compatible IP cameras.

With this level of flexibility, the NVR is ideal for homeowners, business owners, or IT managers seeking a robust, scalable solution that works with various security camera brands.

Whether you’re running a retail shop, office space, or multi-site system, this 16-camera NVR offers dependability and reliable, high-quality video recording across the board.

Video Recording Capabilities

The NVR416PAI supports a wide range of IP camera resolutions, including 1080p, 4MP, 5MP, 8MP, 12MP, and even up to 16MP across all channels.

Combined with support for H.265 and H.265+ compression, the system reduces bandwidth consumption significantly, boasting up to 70% savings compared to older H.264 encoding. The NVR maintains backward compatibility with older H.264 cameras, allowing you to seamlessly combine newer and legacy equipment as required.

Full 4K recording across all channels when using Avalonix IP cameras

The Avalonix NVR416PAI supports up to 256 Mbps of total encoding bandwidth, providing ample headroom to stream and record up to 16 4K security cameras at full 8MP resolution. When using the onboard AI feature for third-party camera analytics, the system adjusts to a maximum bandwidth of 180 Mbps to ensure stable performance.

When using Avalonix Premium Series IP cameras, you can take advantage of the camera’s built-in AI and Smart Detection analytics on all 16 channels, including face detection, smart motion detection, and more!

Here's a full list of Smart AI Detection supported by the NVR as long as the cameras have these AI features.

• Face Detection

• Digital Tripwire

• Intrusion Detection

• Smart Motion Detection

• People Counting

• Heat Mapping (activity, not temperature)

Beyond smart video analytics, Avalonix Premium Series cameras unlock the full potential of our professional PoE systems. You can build a hybrid wired and wireless camera setup using both PoE and WiFi cameras from the Avalonix lineup—including models with two-way audio. Whether you’re using our PoE or WiFi cameras, you can talk to visitors directly through the free smartphone app with a single tap.

And if your goal is to prevent unwanted activity before it happens, Avalonix Active Deterrence Cameras are a powerful addition. These cameras are designed to help deter trespassers at homes or businesses with built-in lights and sirens that activate when motion is detected.

What to expect when using ONVIF IP cameras

With robust support for ONVIF profiles T, S, and G, this Avalonix Premium 16-channel AI NVR can add and connect to third-party cameras. Note that full feature compatibility, particularly with AI events, is guaranteed only with Avalonix Premium Series IP cameras. While third-party ONVIF-based cameras do work, results will vary and may require testing by you as the user.

The 4K NVR can also handle a limited number of AI detection tasks with ONVIF cameras, including smart motion detection (with human/vehicle filtering), face detection, and event-based recording triggers. For installations that mix IP camera brands, this feature is an amazing addition!

Here’s a summary of its ability to perform analytics on third-party ONVIF cameras:

1-channel for Face Detection and Recognition

2-channels with up to 10 rules each for Perimeter Protection (Tripwire and Intrusion)

4-channels for Smart Motion Detection

Storage and Backup

Despite its small 1U form factor, the NVR supports two internal drives up to 16TB each, for up to 32TB of total local storage. Whether you need a few days or weeks of continuous recording, the capacity is easily scalable. You can estimate your recording needs using our calculator for security camera storage.

Backing up footage is straightforward. USB ports allow you to export individual incidents to a flash drive for law enforcement or insurance purposes.

You can playback and back up selected clips directly to your computer using the free PC software.

You can also configure network backups to an FTP server or NAS device or even set up live mirroring to a second NVR for added redundancy.

Remote Access and Alerts

You can access your system securely from nearly any device, anywhere in the world. The built-in web server allows direct browser access, while our free Camera Monitoring Software provides more advanced multi-system viewing. Remote access via smartphone or tablet is equally easy with our free mobile app, giving you real-time access to live or recorded footage, camera controls, and system alerts.

Push notifications and email alerts can be configured for video motion, smart detection events, audio alarms, or external triggers, allowing you to stay informed the moment something important happens. With support for up to 20 simultaneous remote users, the system is ready to scale with your organization’s needs.

With the Avalonix NVR416PAI, you’re not just recording video—you’re adding intelligence, flexibility, and control to your entire 4K security camera system.
