4 Channel 4K DVR Recorder

This 4 Channel DVR is our most powerful 4 camera security video recorder that supports HD security cameras up to 4K resolution and now adds Smart Detection on analog channels. You can use any of our 8MP security cameras to record up to 15fps per camera, or use one of our 4MP security cameras to record up to 30fps per camera. With HDCVI cameras you can keep your existing RG59U coax and still get crisp video, including 4MP and 4K, without the complexity of IP networking.

In comparison to our other 4 channel DVRs, this unit now includes AI-powered detection on analog channels, while keeping the same easy setup and reliability:

• Easy to setup remote viewing
• Record HDCVI cameras up to 4K resolution
• Record AHD and HD-TVI cameras up to 8MP in resolution
• Record up to four PoE security cameras over the network (up to 8 channels total, each up to 8MP)
• Record audio on BNC inputs when using our cameras with built-in mic
• 4 Audio RCA Input to connect optional add-on security camera mics
• Record audio on all IP channels when using IP cameras with built-in microphone

If you are unfamiliar with HDCVI cameras, they can send HD video over RG59 siamese cable. They are great for upgrading existing systems, or in new CCTV systems where the networking required for IP cameras is not desired. If you are looking for a complete system be sure to check our 4 camera security system.

This surveillance video recorder is a 4K Pentabrid DVR (aka XVR) that supports all the common security camera signal types: IP cameras, HDCVI cameras, and standard analog security cameras. It has one SATA port for one hard drive up to 10TB, and four RCA audio inputs (plus audio over HDCVI and audio from compatible IP cams). Using HDCVI technology, video and audio can travel over the same coax from compatible cameras with built-in microphones.

This DVR does not sacrifice on any of the features or reliability that more expensive DVRs offer. You can even use PTZ cameras with this 4 channel XVR. Simply connect the cameras and start recording. You can find compatible HDCVI cameras here, and choose from 720p up to 4K cameras depending on your requirements. If you are unsure which security camera is right for you, don't forget to read our guide on how to choose a security camera.

Smart Detection on analog channels
This DVR adds AI features to your coax cameras to cut down false alerts and make review faster:

• Smart Motion Detection (SMD Plus): up to 4 analog channels with human/vehicle filtering
• Perimeter Protection: up to 2 analog channels (tripwire, intrusion) with human/vehicle classification
• Face Recognition: up to 2 analog channels (cannot be active at the same time as SMD/Perimeter on those channels)

On the IP side, this DVR supports up to 8 IP channels (each up to 8MP) with a total incoming bandwidth of up to 32 Mbps, giving you room to mix a few IP cameras in with your coax layout as needed. If you're using 4 coax cameras, you can add 4 additional IP cameras. You can also convert the analog channels in to IP channels to have a maximum of 8 IP channels.

This 4 channel HD DVR uses a high speed embedded Linux OS that stays free of malware, and Smart H.265+ encoding to save hard drive space without sacrificing clarity.

All of our DVRs include motion activated recording and optional push alerts to your phone. Use the free apps to view live and playback, or our Central Monitoring Software on Windows and Mac.

Remote viewing is free and easy; just make sure you have broadband internet where the DVR is installed. We provide free mobile apps for iPhone, iPad, and Android, plus CMS software for PC and Mac. See how remote viewing works.
