Choosing the Right Model

  • Choose this model if: You need a 128-channel 3U Uniview NVR with 16 SATA bays, RAID, hot swap, redundant PSU support, 32MP recording support and high bandwidth.
  • Choose a smaller NVR if: The site has fewer cameras, lower retention needs or does not require 16 hard drive bays and RAID storage schemes.
  • Choose this over an 8-bay NVR if: The system needs longer recording retention, higher storage capacity or stronger disk management options.
  • Check display requirements: This model supports 2 HDMI and 2 VGA outputs, with HDMI1 up to 8K and HDMI2 up to 4K.
  • Check storage design: Confirm HDD model, HDD capacity, RAID level, retention target and operating temperature before finalising the recorder configuration.
