Ajax NVR 16-Channel Black Network Video Recorder (4K, Up to 16TB)

Ajax NVR (16-ch) Black – 16-Channel 4K Network Video Recorder

The Ajax NVR (16-ch) in Black is a dedicated network video recorder built to sit at the heart of an Ajax-based video security setup. It records and manages footage from up to sixteen IP cameras simultaneously, supporting resolutions as high as 4K at 25 or 30 frames per second. Because it is ONVIF conformant and supports RTSP, the recorder can also work alongside many third-party IP cameras, making it a flexible option for both new installations and upgrades to existing CCTV systems.

Key Features

• 16-channel recording supporting resolutions up to 4K (25/30 FPS)
• ONVIF (Profile S/T) and RTSP support for compatibility with Ajax and third-party IP cameras
• H.265 and H.264 compression with bandwidth handling of up to 100 Mbps
• Single internal drive bay supporting SATA HDD or SSD storage up to 16TB (2.5″ or 3.5″ form factor, drive not included)
• Built-in motion detection with the option to switch between NVR-based or camera-based image analysis
• Scenario-based recording that lets Ajax detectors trigger specific cameras to start filming automatically
• Video wall view that combines feeds from all connected cameras, plus event filters and a smooth-preview timeline for fast footage review
• Remote access and management through Ajax mobile and desktop apps, with configurable access rights for installers, owners, and monitoring operators
• Integration with third-party video management systems (VMS) for larger or hybrid setups
• Tamper notification if the unit is detached from its mounting surface or panel

Built for Integrated Home and Business Security

This recorder suits homeowners, small businesses, and installers who want video surveillance tightly linked to an Ajax intrusion alarm system. Typical applications include monitoring entry points, warehouses, retail premises, and multi-camera residential setups where footage needs to be triggered by motion or alarm events rather than recording continuously. Because it supports ONVIF-compliant third-party cameras as well as Ajax's own camera range, it also works well for businesses migrating an existing IP camera network into the Ajax ecosystem without replacing all hardware at once.
