Uniview 16-Channel NVR | NVR502-16B-P16

Centralize a larger camera system with recording for up to 16 compatible IP cameras and 16 built-in PoE ports. Two hard-drive bays give you room to expand local storage.

Key features

• Camera capacity: 16 channels maximum.
• Built-in PoE: 16 ports; IEEE 802.3af/at.
• PoE power budget: 240W total across all ports; 30W maximum per port. Both limits apply.
• Recording: Up to 16MP; 320Mbps incoming bandwidth.
• Storage: 2 SATA hard-drive bays; up to 10TB per drive in the linked manufacturer datasheet.
• Display: HDMI up to 4K and independent VGA output.

Smart features and compatibility

This is the NVR502-16B-P16, without the IQ suffix. Its advanced event functions depend on compatible camera-side analytics. The datasheet lists up to 8 channels for supported camera-generated SIP, vehicle detection, UMD, metadata, and traffic-monitoring functions. Do not assume the recorder adds IQ analytics to an ordinary camera.

Power and installation

Stay within both the total PoE budget and each port’s limit. Check camera maximum demand, including lighting and heaters, and allow for cable losses. PTZs needing more than 30W or a different PoE standard require a compatible external injector, switch, or power supply.

Included and optional items

Includes a 6-foot HDMI cable and a 3-foot indoor Cat6 cable. Choose an installed surveillance hard drive or no hard drive if supplying your own. A hard drive is required for local recording; retention varies with camera settings and recording schedule. Camera cables and programming are optional and sold separately.
