NVR816-64-R-IM-4G / 128-R-IM-8G

64 / 128-channel network video recorder — 16 hot-swap SATA bays with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, two independent 4K HDMI outputs plus VGA, records cameras up to 12MP, with 512 Mbps incoming bandwidth and an optional redundant power supply.

CHOOSE YOUR SIZE — TWO MODELS ON THIS PAGE
Rule of thumb: count your cameras across the whole deployment, then leave room to grow — 64 channels covers a large single site; step up to the 128-R-IM-8G for a multi-building campus or a central monitoring room aggregating several sites. Highlighted rows in the spec table below show every difference between the two. The -4G/-8G/-16G suffix indicates the built-in AI computing memory (RAM) capacity.

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

The Uniview NVR816-R-IM Series is a 16-HDD, 3U rack-mount network video recorder offered in two sizes: NVR816-64-R-IM-4G (64-ch) and NVR816-128-R-IM-8G (128-ch). Both record cameras up to 12MP with Ultra 265 / H.265 / H.264 compression, output independently over two HDMI ports (each up to 4K) plus one VGA port, and support hot-swappable SATA bays with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and an optional second power supply for redundancy. Each of the 16 SATA bays takes a hard disk up to 16 TB, two miniSAS ports allow expansion to an external disk enclosure, 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.

Large campuses & enterprise sites64 or 128 channels in one 3U box covers a major site or aggregates several buildings without stacking multiple recorders.
Storage that can't afford to fail16 hot-swap SATA bays with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and N+1 hot spare protect footage — a failed disk swaps out live, without taking the recorder offline.
Long-term evidence at scale16 bays up to 16 TB each (up to 256 TB total), plus two miniSAS ports to add an external 16-bay enclosure for another 256 TB when you outgrow the internal bays.
Video walls & control roomsTwo independent HDMI outputs (4K each) plus VGA, and optional 4-ch/7-ch HDMI decoding cards in the rear slots, drive multiple large-format displays from one unit.
Redundant power for critical sitesAn optional second power supply (PWR-DC12-350A-IN) keeps recording through a single PSU failure — order it alongside the recorder for sites that can't go dark.
City-scale vehicle & face searchVCA Search covers face snapshot, face comparison, motor and non-motor vehicle, human body and general search, plus a vehicle picture library for up to 25,000 vehicle images across 5 libraries.
Local-language interface38 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…
  • A compact desktop unit — this is a 3U, 482×533×131mm rack-mount chassis (about 12.5kg without HDDs), not a desktop recorder
  • Built-in PoE ports — cameras need a separate PoE switch
  • A second power supply included as standard — the redundant PSU (PWR-DC12-350A-IN) is an optional add-on, not included
  • A small deployment — this series starts at 64 channels; a lower-channel Uniview NVR fits smaller sites better
  • Full NVR-side smart analytics on any third-party camera — Smart-by-NVR functions on non-Uniview ("normal") cameras are capped to 32-ch on the 64-R-IM-4G / 64-ch on the 128-R-IM-8G, not all channels

Sixteen bays. Seven RAID levels. Zero downtime.

Two real capabilities from the datasheet that matter most on large, mission-critical sites: hot-swap storage redundancy and city-scale smart search.

HOT-SWAP STORAGE

16 bays, seven RAID levels, one live swap

16 hot-swap SATA bays with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and N+1 hot spare — replace a failed disk without powering down, and expand further with two miniSAS ports to an external 16-bay enclosure.

SMART SEARCH AT SCALE

Find one face or one vehicle across 128 channels

VCA Search indexes face snapshots, face comparisons, motor and non-motor vehicles, and human bodies — combined with a vehicle picture library holding up to 25,000 images across 5 libraries, so investigators jump straight to the match instead of scrubbing footage channel by channel.
