When AI on the Recorder Is Worth Paying For
Two situations, honestly: sites where finding events fast matters (retail loss, compounds, schools), and mixed or older camera fleets where the NVR adds intelligence the cameras lack.
The grid runs from compact IQ-series units for 4–16 cameras up to enterprise machines handling 64–256 channels with 16–24 bays, RAID and redundant power — face search, person/vehicle filtering, and search-by-image plus video structuring on the higher models. Per-model AI channel counts are printed on each page.
If the cameras already run person/vehicle detection at the edge, a standard NVR often does the job — we will say so in the free BOM review rather than sell you AI you do not need.

AI NVR FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity?
None for standard units — start with 2–3 samples, test on your own site, then scale by air or LCL sea freight. MOQ only applies to OEM orders with your own logo and packaging.
Does face search need special cameras?
NVR-side AI works with ordinary IP cameras — the recorder does the analysis. Results improve with good camera placement (face height, adequate light at choke points). Same-brand smart cameras add higher-accuracy modes; per-model support is stated on each page.
Can I search by a photo of a person?
On the higher enterprise models, yes — search-by-image takes a snapshot and finds matching appearances across the archive. Mid-range IQ units offer face and person/vehicle filtered search. Which tier supports what is printed per model; tell us the use case and we will point at the right one.
How do I get wholesale prices?
