When ordering multiple Keyed Alike locks, only 1 set of keys are provided as all additional locks are made to work from that key.

If ordering 4 or more keyed alike locks you can have them set up as different groups. If Required: Let us know the details in the "Specific Key Requirements" field above.

Each group of locks will then receive keys.

Keep the moments that matter. Built for a DC supply.

Ajax NVR DC brings multiple camera streams into a compact recorder. View and search footage through the Ajax apps while the archive stays on a compatible local hard drive.

The archive, neatly contained.

A single compatible SATA hard drive, up to 16 TB, stores the footage locally. Eight- and sixteen-channel versions suit different camera counts, without changing the way you use the Ajax apps.

Recording without a noisy desktop box.

The original NVR uses a compact, fanless enclosure with one SATA drive bay. Its eight- and sixteen-channel models suit shared recording for several cameras without putting a computer beside them. Viewing and configuration take place in Ajax apps; this model has no HDMI monitor output.

Privacy includes the archive.

Authorised users control access to live video and recordings. Ajax supports two-factor authentication, session management and separate permissions for video access. The recorder monitors the hard drive and reports problems through the app, helping you check that the system is still recording as intended.

Bring supported cameras together.

ONVIF Profile G and S and RTSP provide connections to compatible third-party cameras alongside Ajax video devices. Pixel-based motion detection can define recording areas, while available AI filters depend on the connected camera. An ONVIF connection does not automatically provide all of a camera manufacturer's proprietary features.

The right recorder. For the way you use it.

Compare this recorder with the alternatives below. Match camera capacity, screen connections, recording storage and power to your installation. You need one suitable recorder for this role, not all of them. Hard drives are supplied separately.

Only the PoE-equipped H2D models power compatible wired cameras directly. Other versions need a separate PoE switch, injectors or the camera's specified power supply.

A moment, easier to find.

Event filters and configurable motion-detection areas make a long archive more useful. Use the timeline to find activity, rather than treating every hour of footage as equally important.

Your whole property. In one view.

See the front door, driveway and garden together instead of opening each camera in turn. Arrange the Ajax video wall around the views that matter to you, and check them from a compatible phone, computer or TV app.

Separate the three jobs. Network, power and recording.

NVR DC Network Video Recorder uses 12 V DC. It records network camera streams but has no PoE camera-power ports. Connect cameras through suitable network equipment and power them separately. The hard drive is supplied separately; a hub is only needed for the associated alarm functions, not basic video recording.

This manufacturer diagram shows video and network communication, not a physical power-wiring plan. Installation requirements depend on the exact equipment.

Compatible equipment.

These are compatible camera choices, camera-power options and optional recording storage. Fit one suitable drive for a local archive, and use a suitably sized PoE switch for wired PoE cameras. A switch does not power the recorder itself. IndoorCam and DoorBell use their own power arrangements.

What you need. Fitting and setup.

Before installation

A suitable DC supply for the exact recorder model. Check its input range and power rating rather than assuming a camera power adapter will work.
An Ethernet connection to the router or network switch.
A compatible recording drive, supplied separately. Fit and secure it inside the recorder with the power disconnected.
Separate power for the cameras: for PoE cameras, plan Cat6 runs to a suitable PoE switch or injector. This recorder has no camera PoE outputs.

Fitting and setup

Place the recorder securely with ventilation space, connect it to the same network as the cameras, then add it to the Ajax app. Add the cameras, configure storage and recording schedules, and test playback and user permissions before handover.

This model is managed through Ajax apps; it has no HDMI monitor output.

Powering the cameras, not the recorder

For wired PoE cameras, the Uniview switches provide 4, 8 or 16 powered ports; the 16-port Reyee is another managed option. Connect the switch's network uplink to the same network as the recorder. Match powered-port count and the shared PoE budget to the cameras, allowing for their maximum demand rather than treating channel capacity as a power rating.

These switches power compatible Ethernet cameras, not the recorder itself, IndoorCam or DoorBell. The recorder still needs its own specified supply. Keep networking equipment indoors with ventilation space.

Storage for the local archive

The Toshiba S300 2TB and 4TB drives are alternative storage capacities for this single-bay recorder, not two drives needed together. Check the exact drive and recorder requirements, fit the drive with power disconnected, then initialise it and test recording and playback in the Ajax app. Archive length depends on camera settings and recording schedules, not capacity alone.

FAQs

Do not assume one is included. Check the individual listing and ordered configuration. A compatible drive is needed for local archive recording unless the recorder is supplied with one fitted.

No. Some network video recorders provide a local HDMI display connection; others are managed through compatible apps or software. Check the video outputs and maximum monitor resolution for the exact model.

No. The recorder must itself have suitable PoE ports. Otherwise, a compatible PoE switch or injector is required. A camera's PoE capability and a recorder's PoE capability are separate specifications.

Compatibility depends on the camera, recorder and supported protocols, including ONVIF or RTSP where specified. Check supported recording, audio and event functions for the exact combination; protocol support alone does not establish every feature.

This family includes eight- and sixteen-channel models. Channel capacity is the number of camera streams the recorder supports; allow room for any planned expansion.

No. This recorder has no PoE output ports. Use an appropriate PoE switch or injector for PoE cameras, or their supported separate power supply.

A compatible hard drive is required separately. Check Ajax compatibility, recording quality and retention requirements before selecting its capacity.

The original NVR has no HDMI output. Use the Ajax apps, or consider NVR H or H2D when a directly connected monitor is required.
