About All Network Video Recorders
A Network Video Recorder (NVR) is the central recording unit for an IP camera system — it receives, stores, and manages footage from PoE cameras over Ethernet. Modern NVRs include built-in PoE switches (one cable per camera carries both power and video), H.265+ compression for efficient storage, and AI-powered smart search to filter playback by human or vehicle target type.
Smarket stocks NVRs from four brands. Match the NVR brand to the camera brand for full AI feature compatibility — ONVIF allows basic interop but advanced features (AcuSense smart search, WizSense classification, TiOC control) require brand-matched setups. Channel counts: 4 (1-4 cameras), 8 (5-8 cameras), 16 (9-16 cameras), 32 (commercial).
Browse by brand: Hikvision NVRs (M-Series & I-Series, AcuSense smart search), Dahua NVRs (WizSense AI, required for TiOC control), HiLook NVRs (budget-tier within Hikvision ecosystem), TP-Link VIGI NVRs (zero subscription, networking-brand reliability).
What's Included in All Network Video Recorders
NVRs available by brand:
• Hikvision NVRs — M-Series and I-Series in 4CH, 8CH, 16CH, 32CH. AcuSense smart search.
• Dahua NVRs — 4CH to 32CH with WizSense AI and AI Coding storage. Required for TiOC control.
• HiLook NVRs — budget tier within the Hikvision ecosystem, 4CH to 16CH.
• TP-Link VIGI NVRs — networking-brand reliability, zero subscription, ONVIF open standard.
All NVRs include built-in PoE switches matched to channel count, H.265+ compression, free mobile app remote access, and 3-year Australian warranty. Pair with a surveillance-grade hard drive (WD Purple or Seagate SkyHawk, 4TB minimum for 4 cameras at 6MP).
