The Uniview XVR301-04F is a 4-channel Hybrid Video Recorder (XVR) designed for surveillance systems that can integrate both analog and IP cameras. It's a versatile solution for small to medium-sized installations, offering good capabilities for recording, playback, and remote access.
Key Features
- 4-Channel Analog Input: It has 4 BNC inputs to connect traditional analog cameras (CVBS) as well as the popular HD analog formats: TVI, AHD, and CVI. This ensures broad compatibility with a wide range of analog cameras from various brands.
- Hybrid Capability (IP Camera Support): This is an XVR, meaning it's "eXtended" beyond just analog. It can also support up to 2 additional IP cameras, with each IP channel supporting up to 6MP resolution. This allows you to combine existing analog cameras with newer, higher-resolution IP cameras if you wish. The total number of channels can reach 6 (4 analog + 2 IP).
- H.265/H.264 Video Compression: Supports advanced video compression technologies like H.265 (HEVC) and H.264. H.265 is more efficient, significantly reducing storage space and bandwidth requirements while maintaining high video quality.
- 1080P Lite Recording: The main stream recording resolution for analog channels is 1080P Lite (which is a scaled-down 1080P that uses less storage/bandwidth but still offers HD clarity) at 25fps (or 720P at 30fps). IP camera recording supports up to 6MP.
- Audio over Coaxial Cable (AoC): Supports audio transmission over coaxial cable, particularly for TVI cameras. This simplifies wiring as separate audio cables are not needed. It also has G.711U audio compression.
- HDMI & VGA Outputs: Features both HDMI and VGA outputs, supporting simultaneous display at resolutions up to 1920x1080P, allowing you to connect to common monitors or TVs for live viewing.
- Single SATA HDD Bay: Equipped with 1 SATA interface, supporting a single hard disk drive (HDD) with a capacity of up to 6TB for video storage (HDD not included).
- Network Connectivity: Includes a 10/100Mbps RJ45 Ethernet interface for network connection.
- Remote Access: Supports various network protocols (TCP/IP, P2P, UPnP, NTP, DHCP, HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, DDNS, SMTP) for remote viewing and management.
- P2P Cloud Access: Uniview's P2P (peer-to-peer) feature simplifies remote access setup, often without complex port forwarding.
- Mobile App & Web Browser: Can be accessed remotely via Uniview's mobile app (EZView/EZLive) on smartphones/tablets and through web browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Edge).
- Incoming Bandwidth: 24Mbps (can go up to 32Mbps if all analog channels are converted).
- Outgoing Bandwidth: 48Mbps.
- Remote Users: Supports up to 128 remote users.
- Compact Design: The device has relatively compact dimensions of 190mm × 202mm × 42mm (7.5" × 7.9" × 1.6") and weighs less than 1kg (without HDD).
- Robustness: Features 4KV surge protection for enhanced durability.
- User-Friendly Interface: Supports 20 GUI languages.
- Ultra Motion Detection (UMD): This is an advanced motion detection feature that helps reduce false alarms.
- Behavior Search: Allows for searching video based on specific behaviors.
- General Alarm: Motion detection.
- Alert Alarms:IP Conflict, Network Disconnected, Disk offline, Disk Abnormal, Illegal Access, Hard Disk Space Low, Hard Disk Full, Recording/Snapshot Abnormal.
Ideal Use Cases:
- Small Residential Properties: For monitoring a few cameras around a home.
- Small Offices or Shops: Providing basic surveillance capabilities for a small business.
- Upgrading Existing Analog Systems: Allows users to reuse their existing coaxial cables and analog cameras while also having the option to add new IP cameras for better resolution or coverage in specific areas.
- Budget-Conscious Installations: Offers a cost-effective way to implement an HD surveillance system with hybrid capabilities.
It provides a good balance of features, compatibility, and performance for basic to intermediate surveillance needs.
