Ajax NVR 8-Channel Black 4K Network Video Recorder

Ajax NVR (8-ch) Black - 4K Network Video Recorder

The Ajax NVR (8-ch) Black is a dedicated network video recorder built to merge IP camera surveillance with the Ajax security ecosystem. It manages up to eight camera channels at resolutions as high as 4K, giving installers a compact, indoor recording hub that links video footage directly to Ajax alarm events for faster verification and easier incident review.

Key Features

• 8-channel capacity: Connects and manages up to 8 IP cameras within one Ajax video surveillance setup.
• Up to 4K recording: Captures footage at up to 4K resolution at 25 or 30 FPS for clear, detailed video.
• Broad camera compatibility: Supports third-party IP cameras via ONVIF (Profile S/T) and RTSP protocols alongside Ajax cameras.
• Efficient compression: Handles H.265 and H.264 decoding to balance image quality with storage efficiency.
• Expandable local storage: Accepts one 3.5-inch SATA hard drive with capacity up to 16TB (HDD sold separately).
• Alarm-linked video archive: Automatically starts recording on selected cameras when an Ajax detector triggers an alarm, tying footage to the exact event timestamp.
• Flexible motion detection: Movement can be analysed using the NVR's built-in software or the connected camera's own algorithms.
• Centralised access control: User and installer permissions are managed through the Ajax mobile app and PRO Desktop software.
• Tamper awareness: Sends a notification if the unit is detached from its mounting surface or panel.

Built for Fast Alarm Verification

This NVR suits homes, apartments, offices, retail stores and small commercial premises that need reliable local recording alongside intruder alarm monitoring. Because recordings can be triggered automatically by Ajax detector events, security teams and homeowners can jump straight to the relevant footage instead of scrubbing through hours of continuous video, making it a practical fit for entrance monitoring, perimeter checks and everyday premises protection.
