Full recorder details and what is included
A hybrid recording hub for analog and IP cameras
The ACTi YVR-122 connects up to 16 compatible analog cameras and 8 IP devices in one local recording system. Keep useful coax runs while adding network cameras where your site needs them. With no analog cameras connected, IP-only mode supports up to 16 IP devices.
Record locally on the drive you choose
The single SATA bay accepts a compatible 2.5- or 3.5-inch drive up to 20TB. No hard drive is included. Plan all streams within the 40 Mbps maximum recording throughput; outgoing throughput is up to 64 Mbps. H.265 and H.264 are supported, and retention depends on the combined bitrate, schedule and usable disk capacity.
Connect video and power correctly
Sixteen BNC inputs accept TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS cameras. For TVI/AHD, documented limits are 12 fps at 5MP, 15 fps at 4MP, and 30 fps at 1080p or 720p. Compatible IP cameras connect through your network to the 10/100 Ethernet port. There are no built-in PoE ports; provide each camera with suitable separate power or compatible PoE equipment.
View, review and configure
Connect an HDMI or VGA monitor for local viewing up to 1080p and use the included USB mouse. Synchronized playback supports up to 16 channels. The web client offers network access after configuration. ONVIF Profile S integration depends on the exact device, firmware and settings; verify the video, audio and controls you plan to use. One RCA line input and output support two-way G.711 μ-law audio with suitable external equipment.
Included and sold separately
This offer includes one black YVR-122 recorder, a power adapter and USB mouse. The recorder uses 12V DC; its supplied adapter is rated 40W. A hard drive, cameras, camera power equipment, monitor and connection cables are sold separately. No additional channel license is required for the supported configuration.
Plan the installation
Install indoors with ventilation and space for cables. The recorder measures 10.2 × 1.8 × 8.9 inches and weighs 2.42lb. Disconnect power before fitting a drive, then initialize storage, set the date and secure password, configure the analog and IP recording schedules, and verify saved playback. Suitable operating conditions are 14–131°F and 10–90% non-condensing humidity.

WHY THIS RECORDER
Expand a wired system at your own pace
Keep serviceable analog cameras while making room for compatible IP views. One recorder brings the two video paths together for local recording and review.
Add network cameras where needed
Connect compatible IP cameras through your network. In hybrid mode, plan for up to 8 IP devices alongside 16 analog cameras; IP-only mode supports up to 16 devices with no analog cameras connected.
Keep footage on site
Install one suitable SATA drive, set the recording schedule and check a saved clip. HDMI and VGA outputs provide local viewing; synchronized playback supports up to 16 channels.
WHERE IT FITS
A practical hub for a mixed camera installation
Example settings for planning a mixed camera installation. Match camera compatibility, separate power and recording storage to the site.
SMALL RETAIL
Retail entrances and counters
Keep compatible coax cameras covering the shop and add IP views where needed. Plan separate views for the entrance and service counter, with suitable power for each camera.
STOCKROOMS
Stockrooms and receiving areas
Bring compatible analog and IP camera views into one local recorder. Match camera positions to aisles and receiving doors, then size recording storage to your schedule and bitrate.
SMALL OFFICES
Office entrances and corridors
Review selected camera views on a connected monitor. Use the hybrid channels to retain suitable existing cameras while adding coverage where the office needs it.
CAMERAS, POWER AND RECORDING
Two camera paths. One recording hub.
Analog cameras connect over coax. IP cameras reach the recorder over Ethernet through your network. Each camera needs its own suitable power source; the recorder does not supply PoE.
- Compatible cameras Up to 16 analog cameras plus 8 IP cameras in hybrid mode.
- Coax and network BNC for analog video; Ethernet via a network switch for IP video. Camera power is separate.
- YVR-122 + SATA drive Install one compatible drive for local recording. The recorder ships without a disk.
- Monitor and playback Use an HDMI or VGA monitor and the included USB mouse to view and review footage.
Match video settings to the system
The recorder supports H.265 and H.264. For TVI/AHD sources, documented limits are 12 fps at 5MP, 15 fps at 4MP, and 30 fps at 1080p or 720p. Camera format and configured settings determine the result.
Check the camera features you need
ONVIF Profile S supports compatible IP video integration. Check the exact camera, firmware and stream settings; audio, events and PTZ controls need support at both ends.
Connect external audio equipment
One RCA line input and one RCA line output support two-way audio using G.711 μ-law. Suitable external audio devices are required and sold separately.
Review locally or over the network
HDMI and VGA support displays up to 1920 × 1080 at 60 or 50 Hz. The web client provides network access after configuration. Secure the recorder account and network before enabling remote access.
INSTALLATION GUIDANCE
Build a reliable path from camera to saved clip
Place the recorder indoors with ventilation and accessible cable connections. Have a qualified installer fit the drive and complete the camera, display and network setup.
-
Install and initialize the drive
Disconnect power before opening the recorder. Fit one compatible SATA drive, reconnect safely, then initialize the disk in the recorder interface. Keep ventilation openings clear.
-
Connect cameras and their power
Connect analog video to the BNC inputs. Put compatible IP cameras and the recorder on the appropriate network. Use camera-rated power supplies or compatible PoE equipment; the DVR’s Ethernet port supplies data only.
-
Connect the display and controls
Connect an HDMI or VGA monitor using a suitable cable, then the included USB mouse and power adapter. The monitor, video cable and network/coax cabling are sold separately.
-
Set recording and test playback
Set the date, time and secure password. Enable analog recording schedules under Storage → Recording, check the IP schedules, and confirm that each required video and audio channel records and plays back correctly.
CHECK YOUR FIT
Match the recorder to your camera plan
Count the analog and IP devices separately, then add their recording bitrates and select the storage capacity.
You are retaining analog cameras
Choose hybrid mode for up to 16 compatible analog cameras plus 8 IP devices. Check formats, resolutions, cable condition and separate camera power.
You are planning an IP-only system
With no analog cameras connected, the recorder supports up to 16 IP video devices. Provide network switching and camera power separately.
You need a larger or different system
A plan for 24 simultaneous IP cameras, integrated PoE, multiple disks or outdoor recorder placement requires a different recorder configuration.

BUYER FAQ
YVR-122 setup and purchase questions
Direct answers on channels, storage, installation and buying from ClearVero.
How many cameras can I connect?
Up to 16 analog and 8 compatible IP cameras together. With no analog cameras connected, IP-only mode supports up to 16 IP devices. The 24-channel rating is not 24 simultaneous IP channels.
Does it include a hard drive?
No. Install one compatible 2.5- or 3.5-inch SATA drive, up to 20TB, to save video locally. The drive is sold separately.
Does the recorder power IP cameras?
No. It has no built-in PoE ports. Use a compatible PoE switch or injector, or the camera’s suitable separate power supply.
Can I reuse my analog cameras?
Yes, when their TVI, AHD, CVI or CVBS format and resolution are supported. Connect video to the BNC inputs and power each camera separately.
Will every ONVIF camera feature work?
The recorder supports ONVIF Profile S. Video, audio, events and controls depend on the exact camera, firmware and settings; match the functions you need before installation.
Do I need extra channel licenses?
No additional license is required for the supported configuration. The recorder includes 16 analog and 8 IP licenses, with up to 16 IP channels when no analog cameras are connected.
How do I view recorded footage?
Install and initialize a suitable drive, enable the recording schedules, then use an HDMI or VGA monitor and the included mouse for playback. A web client is available after network configuration.
How much recording time will a drive provide?
Retention depends on bitrate, schedule and usable capacity. A 4TB disk at a continuous combined 8 Mbps gives about 46 days before formatting and recorder overhead; actual retention will be lower.
