The most common recorder size for homes and small businesses.
These are 8-channel Hikvision NVRs (network video recorders). They suit a house, shop, small commercial unit or yard.
How do I choose an 8-channel NVR?
- PoE: models with /8P power the cameras down the same cable as the picture, so you don't need a separate switch.
- Drive bays: one bay limits how long you keep footage. Two bays roughly doubles it.
- Smart features: AcuSense tells people and vehicles apart from everything else, so you get fewer false alarms. AcuSeek lets you search recordings by describing what you're looking for.
- Hard drive: these recorders come without one. See our surveillance hard drives.
Our Hikvision NVR buying guide covers every series, the PoE and bandwidth traps, and the (C) vs (E) revision difference.
