Description
Download Manual The NVR-8256DR-V2 is a rack-mountable 4U network video recorder designed for large-scale IP surveillance deployments. It supports up to 256 IP camera channels and camera resolutions up to 24MP, providing comprehensive coverage for enterprise, campus, and city applications. The unit includes a built-in front panel LCD and multiple HDMI outputs for flexible local monitoring.
Key features include a 24-bay front-loading storage chassis supporting up to 16TB per drive, delivering a maximum internal capacity of 384TB. Multiple RAID modes are available including RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 to meet redundancy and performance requirements. The recorder delivers 768Mbps incoming/outgoing throughput to sustain multi-megapixel recording and live streaming across all channels.
On-board intelligence supports a broad set of analytics including IVS and perimeter protection across all 256 channels, face detection and recognition on up to 128 channels, ANPR+ on 64 channels, and video metadata for 64 channels. Local display decoding supports up to 36 simultaneous live channels and up to 16 channels for NVRSS-Pro remote live view. Recording codecs include Smart H.265+, Smart H.264+, H.265, and H.264 for efficient storage utilization.
Connectivity includes four RJ-45 10/100/1000Mbps self-adaptive Ethernet ports, three HDMI outputs, one VGA output, a front-panel LCD, RS232 and RS485 control ports, and four USB ports (two USB2.0 front, two USB3.0 rear). Supported protocols include HTTP/HTTPS/TCP/IP/RTSP/SMTP/DHCP/DDNS/iSCSI/UPnP/SNMP/IPv6 for broad integration. The system is managed by built-in NVRSS-Pro software and the IC View+ mobile app for iOS and Android.
This NVR is suitable for city surveillance, transportation hubs, large retail campuses, and critical infrastructure where multi-channel AI analytics and high-capacity storage are required. ANPR+ and video metadata capabilities enable traffic monitoring and automated event indexing. Face recognition and people counting support security and operational analytics in high-density environments.
Installation is rack-oriented with a 4U chassis and redundant AC power support for high-availability environments. The unit operates across common datacenter temperature ranges and includes US-based technical support and a 10-year warranty. Its industrial embedded architecture and SATA3/SAS backplane are engineered for continuous 24/7 operation and enterprise deployments.
