Cctv Recorder

Digital video recorder for storing footage from multiple security cameras.

Introduction

A CCTV recorder accepts analog or IP camera feeds, compresses the video, and stores it on internal hard drives for later review or backup.

  • Multiple channel inputs let you record 4, 8, or 16 cameras simultaneously with synchronized timestamps.
  • H.265 compression reduces file sizes while maintaining clear detail for identification and evidence.
  • Network ports enable remote viewing and alerts through mobile apps when motion is detected.

Choose a recorder that matches your camera count and storage needs.
