IP video recorders

IP video recorders are central recording units for IP-based video surveillance installations in stores and other monitored business spaces. The products in this category include recorders identified by channel capacity, with examples ranging from 4- and 8-channel units to 16-channel and 32–64-channel models. Channel count is a primary consideration because it should reflect the number of camera feeds planned for the installation and possible system expansion.

Review each recorder's stated model details when comparing options, particularly the channel configuration. A recorder should be selected as part of the overall surveillance layout, taking account of the required coverage and the way footage will be managed. This planning helps distinguish a smaller recorder from configurations intended to consolidate a larger number of monitored locations.
