NVR516-64 / 128E-R

64 / 128-channel 3U rack-mount network video recorder — 16 hot-swap SATA bays with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, records cameras up to 32MP, Ultra 265 compression, optional redundant power supply.

CHOOSE YOUR SIZE — TWO MODELS ON THIS PAGE
Rule of thumb: count your cameras across the whole site, then leave room to grow — the 64E-R covers most large single sites; step up to the 128E-R for campus-scale or multi-building deployments. Highlighted rows in the spec table below show every difference between the two.
In-stock models: 3 days to your designated warehouse after payment · Out-of-stock or insufficient stock: 7–15 working days

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

The Uniview NVR516-E-R Series is a 16-bay 3U rack-mount network video recorder offered in two sizes: NVR516-64E-R (64-ch) and NVR516-128E-R (128-ch). Both record cameras up to 32MP with Ultra 265 / H.265 / H.264 compression, support hot-swappable SATA drives (up to 24 TB each) configurable as RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60, and accept an optional second power supply for redundancy. The recorder outputs over 2 HDMI (HDMI1 up to 8K, HDMI2 up to 4K) and 2 VGA ports, includes Smart features such as face, vehicle (LPR) and temperature detection, and provides a 38-language local interface.

Is this the right recorder for you?

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

Large multi-building sites128 channels and 16 hot-swap HDD bays cover a large campus from one recorder — fewer boxes to manage across buildings.
Growing deploymentsBuy channels ahead: the 128E-R lets you add cameras later without swapping the recorder.
Mission-critical, zero-downtime storageHot-swap RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 across the 16 bays plus N+1 hot spare and an optional second power supply — a failed disk or PSU doesn't take the recorder down.
Unreliable network linksANR technology keeps recording locally when the network drops, then backfills the gap once the connection is restored.
Investigation & retrievalFace detection, face comparison, vehicle (LPR), human body, heat-map and people-counting search narrow hours of footage across up to 128 channels down to the right clip.
Two independent display zonesHDMI1/VGA1 and HDMI2/VGA2 output independently, with HDMI1 reaching 8K — a control room can show a live wall on one screen pair and playback on the other.
Multi-language deployments38 GUI languages including Spanish (Latin America), Portuguese (Brazil) and French — your customer operates it in their own language.
Not the right pick if you need…
  • PoE ports — this recorder has no built-in PoE; cameras need a separate PoE switch
  • A redundant power supply included as standard — the manual lists it as an optional add-on module (PWR-DC12-350A-IN), not pre-installed
  • Full per-channel bandwidth headroom at 128 channels — 640 Mbps incoming bandwidth is shared across all channels, so plan the average bitrate per camera accordingly at the top model
  • 8K or 4K resolution over VGA — VGA output tops out at 1920×1080; use HDMI1 for the 8K/4K modes
  • A dedicated two-way audio port — two-way audio reuses the shared RCA audio input/output jacks, not a separate connector
