NVR502-08B-P8 / 16B-P16 / 32B-P16-IQ

8 / 16 / 32-channel network video recorder with built-in PoE — Ultra 265 compression, 4K HDMI output, records cameras up to 16MP, dual SATA bays with RAID 1, and built-in Smart Function with face and vehicle detection.

CHOOSE YOUR SIZE — THREE MODELS ON THIS PAGE
Rule of thumb: match your camera count to built-in PoE ports first — the 08B-P8-IQ powers up to 8 cameras with no extra switch, while the 16B-P16-IQ and 32B-P16-IQ both include 16 PoE ports (the 32B-P16-IQ takes 16 more cameras over a network uplink or separate switch for larger sites). Highlighted rows in the spec table below show every other difference between the three.

Sample quantities are welcome — testing one or two units first is the normal way to start.

The Uniview NVR502-B-P-IQ Series is a 2-HDD PoE network video recorder offered in three sizes: NVR502-08B-P8-IQ (8-ch, 8 built-in PoE ports), NVR502-16B-P16-IQ (16-ch, 16 built-in PoE ports) and NVR502-32B-P16-IQ (32-ch, 16 built-in PoE ports). All three record cameras up to 16MP 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 people counting / heat map analytics. Two SATA bays each take a hard disk up to 24 TB with RAID 1 support, and 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 & mid-size sitesThe 8-ch 08B-P8-IQ plus eight PoE cameras is a complete kit — one box powers, records and runs Smart Function for the whole site.
No separate PoE switch needed8 or 16 built-in PoE ports mean cameras plug straight into the recorder — one cable per camera, no extra power supply on site.
Large sites needing headroomThe 32-ch 32B-P16-IQ covers parking lots, campuses and multi-building sites — 16 cameras run on built-in PoE, the rest connect over the network.
Redundant storageTwo SATA bays with RAID 1 mirroring protect footage from a single disk failure — important for sites that can't afford lost evidence.
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…
  • RS232 serial control — this series has RS485 only, no RS232 port
  • RAID 0/5/6 arrays — the 2-bay Disk Array Type supports RAID 1 mirroring only, not striping or parity RAID
  • High-power PoE++ cameras — Max Power is capped at 30W per single port (IEEE 802.3at/af standard, not 60W+ PoE++)
  • Full 8-channel Smart AI with third-party cameras — the deepest face/vehicle AI (up to 8-ch) requires Uniview cameras; normal/third-party cameras are limited to 2-ch face detection, 4-ch SIP or 8-ch UMD
  • 4K @ 60Hz output — HDMI tops out at 4K (3840×2160)/30Hz; 60Hz refresh is only available at 1080p and below

Sharper footage. Smarter search.

Two real capabilities from the datasheet that matter every day: higher-resolution recording with mirrored dual-bay storage, and built-in AI search across faces, vehicles and people.

16MP RECORDING + RAID 1

Sharper footage, mirrored for safety

Ultra 265 compression keeps recording size efficient even at up to 16MP, and two SATA bays up to 24 TB each can mirror each other with RAID 1 — footage survives a single disk failure.

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.
