16 / 32-channel network video recorder — four SATA bays for large-capacity storage, Ultra 265 compression, 4K HDMI output, records cameras up to 12MP, with onboard Face Detection, Vehicle Detection (LPR) and AI smart search.
Sample quantities are welcome — testing one or two units first is the normal way to start.
The Uniview NVR304-B-IQ Series is a 4-HDD network video recorder offered in two sizes: NVR304-16B-IQ (16-ch) and NVR304-32B-IQ (32-ch). Both record cameras up to 12MP with Ultra 265 / H.265 / H.264 compression, output simultaneously over 4K HDMI and VGA, and include built-in Face Detection, Face Comparison, Vehicle Detection (LPR) and AcuSearch / AcuTrack smart search. Four independent SATA bays each take a hard disk up to 24 TB, and the local interface is available in 38 languages including Spanish (Latin America), Portuguese (Brazil) and French.
Plain-language guide for buyers and installers — based only on what this recorder actually does.
For corporate buyers: we support submitting the purchase order to Uniview under your company's real name — your company appears on the official order, so the origin of the goods can be verified directly with the manufacturer. Just provide your company name and pay by corporate bank transfer. Models carrying the anti-counterfeit label can also be self-verified on Uniview's official Anti-Counterfeiting Query page — enter the unit's SN plus the scratch-off code.
For small and mid-size orders, we deliver directly to your designated forwarder's warehouse in China (EXW / FOB Guangzhou). From hand-over onward, international shipping and destination-side arrangements are handled by your forwarder — the way you already work.

Two real capabilities that define this series: large multi-bay storage and onboard AI search.
Four independent SATA bays each take a disk up to 24 TB — up to 96 TB in one recorder, useful for high channel counts or long retention without an external storage array.
Built-in Face Detection, Face Comparison and Vehicle Detection (LPR) on the camera side feed AcuSearch, AcuTrack, Face Snapshot Search and Human Body Search on the recorder — narrow hours of footage down to the exact clip.
