WHY THIS RECORDER

One recorder for the views that matter

Bring entrances, work areas and outdoor approaches together in one recording system. Choose the camera views and recording schedule that fit your property.

Power cameras and carry video on one cable

Use one Ethernet cable for power and video to each compatible camera. Sixteen cameras drawing 12 W each would use 192 W of the shared 240 W budget. Use each camera’s peak draw, including night lighting, and stay within 30 W per port.

Choose a drive for the hours you record

For eight cameras at 4 Mbps each, a 4 TB drive holds about 11.6 days of continuous footage before formatting and overhead. Use your actual combined bitrate and recording schedule to choose capacity. The drive is sold separately.

Find recorded events faster

Use Forensic Search to find similar people or vehicles across recorded channels. Smart Search works with compatible cameras that support Smart Motion Detection.

INSTALLATION GUIDANCE

Plan your installation in four steps

ClearVero can help you match your camera models, PoE requirements and recording schedule to the recorder before you order.

  1. ClearVero setup guidance

    List cameras and power needs

    Add the peak power of the cameras you plan to connect. Keep each port within 30 W and all ports within 240 W. Add the bitrates of the streams you will record and keep the total within 160 Mbps.

  2. Storage planning

    Choose drives and a recording schedule

    Plan bitrate, recording hours and retention before selecting storage. Install compatible drives and confirm that the recorder recognizes them.

  3. Installation planning

    Place and connect the recorder

    Provide a dry, ventilated indoor position, AC power, Ethernet routes and display connections. Rack brackets are optional and require a compatible rack and adequate clearance.

  4. Commissioning

    Test recording and review

    Set the clock, then test live view, a saved clip and an export. Verify the audio and events you need before you connect the rest of the cameras.

CHOOSE WITH CONFIDENCE

Build around your site

Choose the camera views, storage and local display layout that suit your installation.

Up to 16 wired IP cameras

Connect up to 16 compatible wired IP cameras with up to 160 Mbps of recording throughput and 240 W of shared PoE power.

Storage you choose yourself

Start with the capacity you need and use the second SATA bay to expand recording storage.

Review footage on a local display

Choose a 16-camera grid for a site overview or a two-stream 12 MP layout for more detail with Smart IVA off. Export important clips for safekeeping.

INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS

Leave room for the recorder and its connections

The enclosure measures 380 mm wide × 53 mm high × 322 mm deep (about 15.0 × 2.1 × 12.7 inches). Allow extra space for cable bends, connectors and ventilation. Check rack clearance rather than assuming every 1U opening will fit.
