Ajax NVR recorder 16 channels, 4K, H.265, up to 16 TB, Black (70935)

The main job of this recorder is to connect IP cameras from other manufacturers to an Ajax security system. Existing cameras do not need replacing: they appear in the same system as your Ajax detectors and are managed together with them. The recorder is compatible with all Ajax hubs, so it fits a new installation as well as one already in service.

Cameras are fully synchronised with the security devices: intrusion events in the system log are linked to timestamps in the video archive. When a detector raises an alarm, you can see straight away what the camera captured at that moment. You can also set up a scenario that starts recording on a detector alarm, so the archive holds the moments that actually matter.

The recorder takes video from up to 16 cameras and supports resolutions up to 4K. H.265 compression produces smaller recordings than the older H.264, so the same drive holds a longer archive, while H.264 support keeps older cameras usable. Incoming bandwidth is up to 100 Mbps, which is worth keeping in mind when choosing the number of cameras and their resolution.

For recording, a 3.5″ hard drive of up to 16 TB is installed in the unit. The drive is not included, so you can pick the capacity to match the number of cameras and how many days of footage you want to keep. For surveillance it makes sense to choose a drive rated for round-the-clock operation.

Ajax system owners who want their existing IP cameras in the same system; businesses, offices and warehouses with up to 16 cameras that need to see video the moment an alarm goes off; and installers building Ajax systems who need a recorder that ties detector events to video.
