Product Overview
The Uniview NVR808-32-IX-G is a professional 32-channel 4K network video recorder designed for larger commercial and project-based surveillance systems. It combines high recording and decoding performance with advanced analytics, intelligent search tools, and substantial storage capacity. The recorder supports Ultra H.265, H.265, and H.264 compression, eight SATA drive bays, RAID storage protection, 512 Mbps incoming and outgoing bandwidth, and three independent HDMI display outputs. With SeekFree, AcuSearch, AcuTrack, ANR, and extensive smart-event support, it is built for sites that require efficient investigations and dependable long-term recording.
Why Choose the NVR808-32-IX-G
This model offers considerably greater storage capability and data throughput than a standard commercial NVR. Its eight SATA interfaces support up to 24 TB per drive, subject to drive and operating conditions, while RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10 support provides flexible options for storage performance and redundancy. The NVR also supports metadata-based searches, people counting, licence plate comparison, face detection, Smart Intrusion Prevention, SeekFree text search, AcuSearch, and AcuTrack. Three HDMI outputs make it particularly suitable for control rooms and multi-screen monitoring environments.
