The Uniview XVR301-08F is an 8-channel Hybrid Video Recorder (XVR) from Uniview's XVR301-F Series. Similar to the -04F model, it's designed to be a versatile solution for recording and managing surveillance footage from both analog and IP cameras, but with a higher channel count for larger installations.
Key Features
- 8-Channel Analog Input: This XVR features 8 BNC inputs, allowing it to connect to and record from up to 8 traditional analog cameras (CVBS) or HD analog cameras (TVI, AHD, CVI). This makes it an excellent choice for upgrading existing analog systems without needing to replace all cameras and cabling.
- Hybrid Capability (IP Camera Support): Beyond the 8 analog channels, the XVR301-08F can also integrate additional IP cameras. It supports up to 2 extra IP channels, with each IP camera capable of up to 6MP resolution. If all analog channels are converted to IP, the total number of IP channels can reach 10 channels (8 analog converted + 2 additional). This provides flexibility for expanding your system with higher-resolution IP cameras in key areas.
- Efficient Video Compression (H.265/H.264): It utilizes advanced video compression standards, including H.265 (HEVC) and H.264. H.265 is particularly beneficial as it significantly reduces file sizes and bandwidth consumption compared to H.264, allowing for longer recording times and more efficient remote viewing.
- 1080P Lite Recording: The main stream recording resolution for analog channels is 1080P Lite (a scaled-down 1080P that saves storage while still offering good clarity) at 15 frames per second (fps). It also supports 720P recording at 15fps. IP cameras can be recorded at resolutions up to 6MP.
- Audio over Coaxial (AoC) Support: Simplifies installation for compatible TVI cameras by allowing both video and audio signals to be transmitted over a single coaxial cable.
- Simultaneous HDMI & VGA Outputs: Equipped with both HDMI and VGA video outputs, enabling connection to different monitors or TVs for live viewing and playback. Both outputs support resolutions up to 1920x1080P.
- Single SATA HDD Bay: Features 1 SATA interface for a single hard disk drive (HDD), supporting a maximum capacity of up to 6TB for video storage (HDD not included).
- Ethernet Interface: Includes a 10/100Mbps RJ45 Ethernet port for network connection.
- Remote Access: Supports various network protocols (TCP/IP, P2P, UPnP, NTP, DHCP, HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, DDNS, SMTP) for secure remote access.
- P2P Cloud Access: Uniview's P2P (peer-to-peer) functionality streamlines remote viewing setup via the EZView/EZLive mobile apps, often eliminating the need for complex port forwarding.
- Incoming Bandwidth: 24Mbps (can go up to 40Mbps if all analog channels are converted to IP).
- Outgoing Bandwidth: 64Mbps.
- Remote Users: Supports up to 128 remote users for concurrent access.
- Ultra Motion Detection (UMD): An advanced motion detection feature that helps reduce false alarms.
- Behavior Search: Allows for searching recorded footage based on specific behavioral patterns.
- Alarm Features: Includes general motion detection alarms and alert alarms for system events like IP conflicts, network disconnections, disk errors, low disk space, illegal access, and recording/snapshot abnormalities.
- User-Friendly Interface: Supports 20 GUI languages for ease of use.
- Compact & Durable Design: With dimensions of 190mm × 202mm × 42mm (7.5" × 7.9" × 1.6") and weighing less than 0.6 kg (without HDD), it's a compact unit. It also features 4KV surge protection for enhanced durability.
