Reliable Hard Drive Health Monitoring
See at a glance which drives are operating normally with built-in hard drive health detection. This makes storage management simpler and helps prevent unexpected data loss on your Hikvision NVR.
Flexible RAID Protection
Enjoy data redundancy and continuous playback even if individual drives fail. The recorder supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10, giving you options to balance performance and protection based on your needs.
Dual-Stream Recording for Local and Remote Use
Record high-quality streams locally while simultaneously sending lower-bandwidth streams for remote viewing. This ensures smooth playback whether you're on-site or accessing video over varied network conditions.
Channel Zero — Streamlined Remote Viewing
View up to 16 cameras while using only one channel’s worth of bandwidth with Channel Zero, keeping remote video fluid and responsive for monitoring on the go.
Compatibility with Multiple Stream Types
Automatically adapts to different camera stream types so the NVR works smoothly with a variety of cameras, including 1080p models, for flexible system design.
Multi-Video Output for Efficient Monitoring
Use synchronous outputs to display the same channel in multiple locations or independent outputs to show different channels simultaneously—ideal for control rooms and multi-view monitoring.
Redundant Dual-System Firmware
Two copies of the operating system in flash memory provide failover protection: if one image fails, the redundant firmware keeps the NVR running without interruption.
N+1 Hot Spare for Continuous Operation
If an NVR goes offline, a standby unit takes over to maintain recording and monitoring. When the affected NVR returns, video is transferred back automatically (standby takeover supports up to 16 devices).
Automatic Network Replenishment
When the network is interrupted, cameras store video recordings on their onboard SD cards. Once connectivity is restored, footage is seamlessly returned to the NVR, ensuring no gaps in evidence.
Intuitive New GUI with Quick Modes
The updated interface is cleaner and faster to navigate with five quick-access modules and two operation modes: Easy Mode for common settings and Expert Mode for full configuration control—ideal for both casual users and professionals.
One-Step Auto Connection
Get live view up and running in three simple steps without manual IP configuration (available for non-PoE models), saving installation time for small deployments and DIY setups.
Smart and Fast Playback
Use smart playback modes to quickly review relevant footage: Smart Mode skips static periods to surface events, while Sub-Period Mode breaks long recordings into short segments for simultaneous multi-channel review.
No Browser Plugin Required
Access live view and configuration without web plugins. The NVR supports up to 8 MP camera access while allowing 2 MP live view or playback for broad compatibility and easier remote access.
Multi-Device Management and Alerts
Manage the NVR from multiple devices and receive pushed alarm notifications to ensure timely response across mobile and desktop channels.
Granular Multilevel Permissions
Assign tailored access levels to users to protect devices and data. The default Admin account retains full privileges and can define additional permission tiers for secure team management.
Double Verification for Sensitive Operations
Enable double verification on channels so non-admin users require approval from an authorized user before accessing certain functions—configurable only by the admin for added security.
Human and Vehicle Classification to Reduce False Alarms
Deep learning–based analysis distinguishes humans and vehicles to improve perimeter protection and event accuracy, supporting intrusion and line-crossing detection plus fast target search.
Advanced Facial Recognition Capabilities
Built-in deep learning face capture, modeling and comparison support reliable face recognition workflows, enhancing identification and search across recorded video.
