Ajax NVR HAC 8-Channel Black Network Video Recorder with HDMI

Ajax NVR HAC (8-Channel) Black Network Video Recorder with HDMI Output

The Ajax NVR HAC is an 8-channel network video recorder built for sites that need both local, on-screen monitoring and full integration with an Ajax security system. Unlike standard Ajax NVR models, this HDMI-equipped version lets you plug the recorder straight into a monitor or TV for live viewing and playback, while still syncing footage, alarms, and camera health data with the Ajax mobile and desktop apps. It's designed to turn a group of IP cameras into a coordinated, alarm-aware surveillance system without requiring a separate PC or VMS server.

Key Features

• 8-channel support for Ajax and compatible third-party IP cameras, recording at up to 4K resolution (25/30 FPS)
• Built-in HDMI output so live and recorded footage can be viewed directly on a connected monitor or TV, no app or computer required
• ONVIF (Profile S/T) and RTSP support, allowing straightforward integration of most third-party IP cameras alongside Ajax video devices
• Single SATA bay for a 3.5-inch hard drive up to 16TB capacity (HDD sold separately)
• Efficient video compression via H.265, H.264, and Ajax's proprietary JetSparrow codec, with streaming bandwidth up to 100Mbps
• Two USB Type-A ports for connecting a keyboard, mouse, or USB flash drive for local system management
• Flexible motion detection, switchable between onboard NVR analysis and camera-side algorithms
• Built-in local VMS tools, including a multi-camera video wall, event filters, and a smooth-scrolling timeline for fast footage review
• Alarm-linked recording, where an Ajax detector event can automatically trigger recording on assigned cameras and flag the moment in the app

Built for Homes, Shops, and Small Business Sites

This recorder suits properties where someone wants a screen-based overview as well as remote access — think retail counters, reception desks, warehouses, and family homes. Connect a display via HDMI for a constant live view on-site, while owners, staff, or monitoring operators check footage remotely through the Ajax app whenever an alarm or motion event occurs. Because it shares the same ecosystem as Ajax intrusion and life-safety devices, security events and video clips stay linked together in one timeline, speeding up alarm verification and reducing false-alarm callouts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this NVR include a hard drive?
No. It accepts a 3.5-inch SATA HDD (or SSD) of up to 16TB, but the drive itself is sold separately so you can choose the capacity that suits your storage needs.

Can I monitor cameras without an internet connection?
Yes, once configured, the HDMI output lets you view live camera feeds locally on a connected screen even if the internet goes down, though an internet connection is required for initial setup and for remote access via the Ajax app.

What cameras can I connect?
The NVR works with Ajax video devices as well as third-party IP cameras that support ONVIF (Profile S/T) and RTSP protocols, giving you flexibility when building or upgrading a camera system.
