Playback is via VGA or a 4K HDMI as you’d hope. The NVR also features smart playback, meaning it can show you only highlights even if it records continuously.

Hikvision offers a series of AcuSense-equipped cameras to get the best of the AI. It recognizes, and ignores, tree & leaf movement, shadows, lights, and small animals. This system is available in a more modest 8-channel version, but both of the DS-7616 series boast a deep learning algorithm that can offer alerts with minimal false positives. We also appreciated that it’s got two SATA bays and each can accept a drive of up to 8TB for a total of a whopping 16TB, as well as connectivity for 4 alarm inputs and 1 output.

It can handle cameras of up to 12MP and is compatibile with ONVIF (S & T) means it’s possible to build your camera collection over time from multiple brands.

This Embedded NVR has a distinctly professional appearance, and it’s certainly suited to higher-end set ups or giant homes. Uncertain future in USA due to trade sanctions It does, however, offer some of the features of subscription services via the app and web features, as well as the advantages of a hardwired device not to be sniffed at.

The device is certainly not the cheapest on this list, given the list price doesn’t’ include a hard drive and you’ll need at least one – likely two unless you opt for the motion detection mode.

We certainly can’t complain about the level of effort which seems to have gone into usability in what is not always the most user-friendly product category a great example is the QR codes to bring up quick remote viewing via the Amcrest View app. Eight of the sixteen Ethernet sockets are PoE, likely enough for most customers though it seems a shame they weren’t all enabled. While not everyone will need the 320Mbps throughput, if you’re looking for a powerful NVR which affords some flexibility when it comes to choosing your cameras (and don’t mind paying for that) then the Amcrest 5 Series seems to have that in the bag. Lacks smart motion detection, so more possible false positives The next steps could have global repercussions if the company is added to the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list. The security market – NVRs included – is having a tough 2022 in the USA as big brands like Chinese HikVision have already fallen victim to US internal bans on new products. H.264 or H.265) can make a big difference.

Key features to look out for are PoE (Power over Ethernet), which can simplify wiring, hard drive capacity (indeed if any drives are included at all), the resolution limit, the number of channels or cameras it can handle, and if there are any means of backup. Remember that a 4K camera uses more data throughput than a 1080P one, so an NVR can handle fewer of them – this is where the compression method (e.g. All the advantages of networking like remote access and – of course – the ability to work with all IP cameras, wired or wireless, remain. Given that subscription services usually only store the clips their AI identifies as significant, having your own NVR also gives you the power to review every moment yourself rather than being dependent on an algorithm to parse the events your camera sees. This, in turn, means you don’t need to dig into your wallet for a subscription service both storage and AI analysis are provided by a device you own rather than a service you lease. The advantage of an NVR-based security system is that, because the video is being compressed by the cameras, local processing power is available for AI functions like detecting movement.
