NVR816-64 / 128

64 / 128-channel 19-inch rack-mount network video recorder — 16 hot-swap SATA bays with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, records cameras up to 12MP, 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 64 covers most large single sites; step up to the 128 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 NVR816 Series is a 16-bay 19-inch rack-mount network video recorder offered in two sizes: NVR816-64 (64-ch) and NVR816-128 (128-ch). Both record cameras up to 12MP with Ultra 265 / H.265 / H.264 compression, support 16 hot-swappable SATA drives (up to 24 TB each) configurable as RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 with an N+1 hot spare, and accept an optional second power supply for redundancy. The recorder outputs over 2 independent HDMI ports (up to 4K) plus 1 VGA port, includes Smart functions such as face, vehicle (LPR) and temperature detection on supported cameras, 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 single-site & campus deployments128 channels and 16 hot-swap HDD bays cover a large site from one recorder — fewer boxes to manage.
Growing deploymentsBuy channels ahead: the 128 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) and human body search narrow hours of footage across up to 128 channels down to the right clip.
Two independent display outputsHDMI1, HDMI2 and VGA output independently — a control room can show a live wall on one screen and playback on another.
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 a second unit as an optional add-on module (PWR-DC12-350A-IN), not pre-installed
  • More than 2 independent HDMI outputs — additional HDMI channels require an optional decoding card (FB-HD04-B-NB / FB-HD07-B-NB) in one of the 2 extension slots
  • Deeper NVR-side Smart analytics — the manual refers this to a separate "Smart Card" datasheet; the search types listed on this page (face, vehicle, human body) are IPC-side detection or VCA search
  • A small handful of cameras — this is a 16-bay rack chassis built for large sites; a compact desktop NVR is a better fit for a few cameras

Hot-swap RAID storage. Investigation-ready search.

The two capabilities that decide whether a large-scale recorder survives a hardware failure and finds the footage that matters.

HOT-SWAP RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60

Swap a failed disk without downtime

16 hot-swap SATA bays (up to 24 TB each) configurable as RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60, plus an N+1 hot spare — a failed drive is pulled and replaced while the array and the recorder keep running.

SMART SEARCH

Find the moment across 128 channels

Face snapshot search, face comparison search, motor and non-motor vehicle search, human body search and general search turn hours of multi-channel footage into the exact clip you need.
