Reliable Hard Drive Health Monitoring
Monitor the status of installed HDDs at a glance to ensure your recordings remain accessible and intact. Clear health indicators help you spot failing drives early and maintain continuous surveillance on the Hikvision NVR.
Flexible RAID Data Protection
Protect recorded footage with multiple RAID modes supported by the NVR (RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10). These configurations help preserve playback accessibility and data integrity even when individual drives encounter issues.
Dual-Stream Recording for Optimized Viewing
Record dual streams simultaneously: high-quality streams for local playback and lower-bandwidth streams for remote viewing. This ensures smooth remote access while keeping full-resolution archives on-site.
Channel Zero for Bandwidth-Efficient Monitoring
View up to 16 cameras while consuming only one channel’s worth of bandwidth for remote users. Channel Zero delivers fluid multi-camera remote viewing without overloading your network.
Support for Multiple Stream Types
Automatically adapt to various camera stream formats and resolutions (for example 1080p), ensuring broad compatibility and seamless integration with different IP cameras.
Versatile Multi-Video Output
Use synchronous outputs to mirror the same channel across displays or independent outputs to show different channels simultaneously — ideal for control rooms and multi-view monitoring setups.
Redundant Dual System Firmware
The NVR stores two copies of its operating system in flash memory so a backup firmware automatically takes over if the primary system fails, improving uptime and reliability.
N+1 Hot Spare for Continuous Operation
When an NVR goes offline, a designated standby NVR can take over to keep recording and playback running. Once the original unit is back online, recordings are transferred back to it, maintaining system continuity.
Automatic Network Replenishment
If the network is interrupted, cameras can store footage on their onboard SD cards and automatically sync recordings back to the NVR when connectivity is restored, preventing data loss.
Clean, Efficient New GUI
The redesigned interface provides a concise layout with five quick-access modules and two operation modes: Easy Mode for common settings and Expert Mode for full configuration — speeding setup and daily use.
Simple Auto Connection
Get live view up and running in three easy steps without manual IP configuration (available for non-PoE models), simplifying initial setup for small installations.
Smart and Flexible Playback
Quickly find important events with smart playback modes: Smart Mode skips irrelevant frames to show eventful periods, while Sub-Period Mode divides long recordings into short segments for simultaneous multi-channel review.
No Web Plugin Required
Access live view and configure the NVR without browser plugins. The device supports up to 8 MP camera connections while providing 2 MP live view or playback for compatibility and ease of use.
Multi-Device Management and Alerts
Manage the NVR from multiple devices and receive pushed alarm notifications across channels so administrators and operators stay informed in real time.
Granular Multilevel Permissions
Assign distinct access levels to users to protect device settings and recorded data. The default Admin account holds full privileges and can configure the remaining user permission tiers for controlled access.
Double Verification for Non-Admin Actions
Enhance security by requiring a secondary authorization for non-admin users when double verification is enabled — only admins can configure this additional approval step.
Human and Vehicle Classification
Deep learning–based analysis reduces false alarms by distinguishing humans and vehicles for intrusion and line-crossing events, enabling more accurate perimeter protection and faster target searches.
Advanced Facial Recognition
Leverage deep learning algorithms for reliable face capture, modeling, and comparison to support identity-based search and verification workflows.
