How do I select an NVR that’s compatible with my cameras?

the Right NVR for Your Cameras

Network Video Recorders (NVRs) are the central components of a security system, managing the data from your cameras. When selecting an NVR, it's essential to consider both the number of cameras you have and the brand compatibility.

Brand Compatibility

We recommend using the same brand for both the cameras and the NVR to ensure optimal compatibility and performance. For instance:

  • Hikvision cameras should be paired with Hikvision NVRs.
  • Dahua cameras should be matched with Dahua NVRs.

Channel Capacity

The number of channels on the NVR directly relates to how many cameras you can connect:

  • If you have up to 4 cameras, you will need a 4-channel NVR.
  • For 8 cameras, an 8-channel NVR is required.

Storage Solutions

Most of our NVRs are equipped with built-in hard drives, typically ranging from 3TB to 4TB. This inclusion alleviates concerns about storage capacity, allowing for adequate recording time for your surveillance footage.

For more details on compatible NVRs and their specifications, you can refer to the official Hikvision User Manual and Dahua User Manual.
