CHOOSE YOUR SIZE — TWO MODELS ON THIS PAGE
Rule of thumb: count your cameras, then leave room to grow — the 104E2-P4's 4 built-in PoE ports suit a small shop; pick the 108E2-P8 if you have (or may add) more cameras. Every PoE port supplies both power and video over one Ethernet cable, up to 30 W per port. Highlighted rows in the spec table below show every difference between the two.

The Uniarch E2-P Series is a 1-HDD PoE network video recorder offered in two sizes: NVR-104E2-P4 (4-ch) and NVR-108E2-P8 (8-ch), both recording cameras up to 8MP with Ultra 265 / H.265 / H.264 compression and 4K HDMI + VGA simultaneous output. The built-in PoE ports — 4 on the 104E2-P4, 8 on the 108E2-P8, IEEE 802.3af/at, max 30 W per port — power ONVIF-compliant cameras through the same cable that carries video, so no separate PoE switch is needed. One SATA bay takes a hard disk up to 8 TB.

Is this the right recorder for you?

Plain-language guide for buyers and installers — based only on what this recorder actually does.

Small shops & homesThe 4-ch 104E2-P4 has 4 built-in PoE ports — plug 4 ONVIF cameras straight into the recorder with one cable each, no separate PoE switch or power adapters to buy.
Growing businessesThe 108E2-P8 gives you 8 built-in PoE ports — buy the size you'll need next year, not just today, without adding a separate switch later.
Remote viewing on phoneP2P protocol built in — the owner checks the shop from a phone app without a fixed IP or network skills.
One cable per cameraEach PoE port (IEEE 802.3af/at, up to 30 W) carries power and video together — the installer runs one Ethernet cable instead of a separate power line.
Longer video retentionUltra 265 roughly halves file size versus H.264 — the same 8 TB disk keeps weeks more footage.
Mixed-brand projectsONVIF Profile S/G/T means existing third-party IP cameras keep working on the built-in PoE ports — no need to replace the whole site.
Not the right pick if you need…
  • Full-channel smart alerts — VCA alarms via connected IP cameras (intrusion, cross line, area) cover channels 1–4 only, and trigger an alert with no snapshot image
  • A second hard disk or RAID — this series has a single SATA bay
  • Gigabit network — both the uplink and the built-in PoE ports are 10/100M (fine for 4/8 cameras at 40/50 Mbps total)
  • Alarm in/out wiring for sirens or sensors
  • Audio input — it has an RCA audio output only (camera-side mics still record via ONVIF)

Powers your cameras. Saves your disk.

The two capabilities that decide whether an entry PoE NVR feels cheap or smart.

PoE BUILT-IN

Power and video over one cable

4 ports on the 104E2-P4, 8 on the 108E2-P8 (IEEE 802.3af/at, max 30 W per port, 54 W / 75 W total budget) — plug an ONVIF camera straight into the recorder, no separate PoE switch or power adapter.

ULTRA 265

Half the storage, same image

Ultra 265 compression cuts recording size dramatically versus H.264 — on the same 8 TB disk you keep footage for weeks longer, or record more cameras at higher resolution.

4/8 Channel PoE NVR FAQ — NVR-104E2-P4/108E2-P8

How many cameras can the PoE ports power?
The NVR-104E2-P4 has 4 PoE ports with a 54W total budget; the NVR-108E2-P8 has 8 ports with 75W total. Each port delivers up to 30W (IEEE 802.3af/at). Typical IP cameras draw well under these averages, so both models can power a full set of cameras directly.
Do I still need a separate PoE switch?
Not for a basic installation — plug ONVIF cameras straight into the recorder's PoE ports and they get power and video over one network cable. The uplink to your router is a separate 10/100M RJ45 port. The unit is powered by DC 48V/1.35A (P4) or DC 52V/1.8A (P8).
How many hard disks fit and what is the maximum size?
One SATA bay, up to 8 TB per surveillance hard drive (maximum capacity varies with ambient temperature). With Ultra 265 compression the same 8 TB disk keeps footage for weeks longer than H.264, or records more cameras at higher resolution on the same budget.
Can it record and display 4K cameras?
Yes. Recording resolution goes up to 8MP (4K), and the decoder handles 1×4K@30 or 4×5MP@25 for local display. The HDMI output reaches 4K (3840×2160) at 30 Hz, with VGA up to 1920×1080 also available for a second screen.
What is the difference between the 104E2-P4 and 108E2-P8?
Channel and PoE count: 4 channels with 4 PoE ports and 54W budget versus 8 channels with 8 ports and 75W. Incoming bandwidth is 40 Mbps on the P4 and 50 Mbps on the P8. Recording up to 8MP, one 8 TB HDD bay and the 260×243×46 mm case are the same.
Can I check the cameras remotely?
Yes. P2P, DDNS, HTTP/HTTPS and RTSP are supported, with up to 128 remote users and 40 Mbps of outgoing bandwidth for remote viewing. Browsers supported: Chrome 45+, Edge 79+, Firefox 52+ and IE10/11 via plugin.
