CHOOSE YOUR SIZE — THREE MODELS ON THIS PAGE
Rule of thumb: count your cameras, then leave room to grow — a shop with 3 cameras runs happily on the 04B-IQ; pick the 08B-IQ or 16B-IQ if you may add cameras later. Highlighted rows in the spec table below show every difference between the three.

The Uniview NVR301-B-IQ Series is a 1-HDD network video recorder offered in three sizes: NVR301-04B-IQ (4-ch), NVR301-08B-IQ (8-ch) and NVR301-16B-IQ (16-ch). All three record cameras up to 12MP with Ultra 265 / H.265 / H.264 compression, output simultaneously over 4K HDMI and VGA, and include built-in Smart Function covering face detection, face comparison, vehicle detection (LPR) and traffic monitoring. One SATA bay takes a hard disk up to 24 TB; the local interface is available in 38 languages including Spanish (Latin America), Portuguese (Brazil) and French.

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 04B-IQ plus four cameras with built-in Smart Function is a complete kit — one disk, one screen, done.
Growing businessesBuy channels you don't use yet: the 08B-IQ/16B-IQ lets you add cameras later without replacing the recorder.
Remote viewing on phoneP2P protocol built in — the owner checks the shop from a phone app without a fixed IP or network skills.
Local-language interface38 GUI languages including Spanish (Latin America), Portuguese (Brazil), French, Korean and Japanese — your customer operates it in their own language.
Longer video retentionUltra 265 roughly halves file size versus H.264 — the same 24 TB disk keeps months more footage even at 12MP.
Vehicle & people analyticsVehicle Detection (LPR), Motor/Non-Motor Vehicle Search, People Counting and Heat Map turn parking lots and storefronts into searchable, measurable traffic data.
Face-based quick searchFace Detection and Face Comparison feed Face Snapshot Search and Face Comparison Search — investigations that took hours now take minutes.
Not the right pick if you need…
  • PoE ports — cameras need a separate PoE switch (we bundle one at combo price)
  • A second hard disk or RAID — this series has a single SATA bay
  • Gigabit uplink — the network port is 10/100M (fine even at 80 Mbps total bandwidth)
  • Alarm in/out wiring for sirens or sensors — RS485/RS232 and alarm terminals are not present on this model
  • Full Smart-feature channel counts with third-party cameras — deepest face/vehicle AI (up to 8-ch) requires Uniview cameras; normal/third-party cameras are limited to 1-ch face detection, 2-ch SIP or 4-ch UMD

Sharper footage. Smarter search.

Two real capabilities from the datasheet that matter every day: higher-resolution recording within a normal storage budget, and built-in AI search across faces, vehicles and people.

12MP RECORDING

Sharper footage, same efficient storage

Ultra 265 compression cuts recording size dramatically versus H.264 — on the same up-to-24 TB disk you can record at up to 12MP and still keep footage for weeks longer than older H.264 systems.

SMART SEARCH SUITE

Face, vehicle and people — all searchable

Built-in Face Detection, Face Comparison, Vehicle Detection (LPR) and People Counting/Heat Map feed AcuSearch, AcuTrack, Face Snapshot/Comparison Search and Vehicle Search — up to 8 channels with Uniview cameras — so an investigation that took hours now takes minutes.
