CHOOSE YOUR SIZE — TWO MODELS ON THIS PAGE

Rule of thumb: count your cameras across the whole deployment, then leave room to grow — 128 channels in a 3U chassis covers a large single site; step up to the 256-R-IM-16G (a taller 4U chassis, not just more channels) 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.

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 sites128 or 256 channels in one recorder — a 3U chassis at 128-ch, a taller 4U chassis at 256-ch — covers a major site or aggregates several buildings without stacking multiple recorders.

Storage that can't afford to fail24 SATA interfaces with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and N+1 hot spare protect footage — Hot Swap is supported, so a failed disk can be swapped without taking the recorder offline.

Long-term evidence at scale24 SATA interfaces up to 16 TB each (up to 384 TB total), plus two miniSAS ports to add an external 16-bay enclosure for another 256 TB when you outgrow the internal capacity.

Video walls & control roomsTwo independent HDMI outputs (4K each) plus VGA, and four rear expansion slots for optional 4-ch/7-ch HDMI decoding cards, drive multiple large-format displays from one unit.

Redundant power for critical sitesAn optional second power supply (PWR-DC12-550A-IN) keeps recording through a single PSU failure — order it alongside the recorder for sites that can't go dark.

Works with more than just Uniview camerasONVIF conformance across Profile S, G, C, Q, A and T lets mixed-brand camera deployments connect to this recorder, not just Uniview's own IPC line.

Not the right pick if you need…

A compact desktop unit — this is a rack-mount chassis (3U at 128-R-IM-8G, a taller 4U at 256-R-IM-16G), 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-DC12-550A-IN) is an optional add-on, not included
A small deployment — this series starts at 128 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 64-ch on the 128-R-IM-8G / 128-ch on the 256-R-IM-16G, not all channels
