Start with the cameras you need.
8 or 16 recording channels
Choose a NVR H version for 8 or 16 connected camera streams. Leave capacity for planned viewpoints and match the combined stream bitrate to the selected recorder’s incoming and outgoing bandwidth.
Channels, ports and viewing are different limits
A channel is a camera stream the recorder can accept. PoE ports supply power and a network connection only on equipped models. Simultaneous on-screen decoding and playback have their own limits.
Check the exact selected-version specifications before choosing camera quality and a local display layout.
Bring your cameras into one system.
Ajax cameras, ONVIF and RTSP
Connect Ajax video devices and compatible third-party IP cameras. The recorder supports H.264 and H.265 streams and conforms to ONVIF Profiles G and S. Use Ajax apps to discover cameras on the network and configure supported integration.
Confirm the exact camera, firmware, resolution and stream settings. A supported video stream does not guarantee every manufacturer-specific control or analytic event.
A viewing station at the site.
Local HDMI viewing
Connect an HDMI display for live views and archive review. The current exact HAC/HDC specifications list output up to 1920 × 1080; higher-resolution recording does not mean higher-resolution HDMI output. A display and peripherals are separate purchases.
Internet access is needed for setup. Ajax states that cameras added through the recorder must connect to Ajax Cloud at least once every 30 days for continued offline operation.
Keep the whole site in view.
Your cameras, together
Arrange live camera views in a video wall and change their order as your priorities change. Use Ajax apps on a phone, computer or supported TV to check several viewpoints without opening each camera separately.
Find the moment. Keep the evidence.
Find the relevant event
Filter the recorded event history and open the corresponding footage. Available object-type filters depend on supported camera or recorder analytics.
Plan the archive, not just the disk.
One drive, chosen for the job
Install one compatible SATA HDD or SSD up to 16 TB in a 2.5- or 3.5-inch form factor. The drive is not included. Work out recording depth from camera bitrates, schedules and available capacity.
This is a single-drive recorder. Two-drive redundancy and hot swapping belong to H2D models.
Connect through your network.
Ethernet with separate camera power
Connect the recorder to the network through Ethernet. These versions do not have built-in PoE camera ports; use a suitable external switch, injector or camera supply.
NVR H specifies up to 80 Mbps incoming and 40 Mbps outgoing bandwidth. Plan the streams and remote viewers separately.
Video that is easy to move through.
JetSparrow
Ajax’s video technology handles streaming and archive access with encrypted peer-to-peer transmission. It helps keep live viewing and timeline navigation responsive; the network connection and recording setup still determine the experience.
Give an alarm visual context.
A camera adds video to a security system. Detector-triggered scenarios also require the corresponding Ajax intrusion devices and a compatible hub.
From notification to footage
Link a camera to the area it watches. A system event can take you to the relevant video so you can understand what happened at the property.
Record the movement that matters.
Choose detection zones
Set image areas where movement should trigger recording and adjust sensitivity. The recorder can analyse motion in the frame or use supported camera algorithms. This helps narrow the event history and manage storage.
Pixel motion detection is distinct from recognising people, pets or vehicles. AI depends on the camera or a supported Superior recorder and its processing limits.
Decide who can see and manage video.
Separate access for each role
Manage live view, recordings, audio and device settings for users, installers and monitoring operators. Grant PRO access only for the time and work required, then revoke it when the work is complete.
Protect the account and archive
Use two-factor authentication and review active sessions. Monitor drive status in Ajax apps and investigate storage errors promptly. Keep firmware current and verify playback and exports during maintenance.
Provide power for the whole system.
Power matched to the chosen version
AC models use 110–240 V mains. DC models use a low-voltage supply with jumper-dependent operating thresholds; check the selected specification before wiring. The DC supply is not included. The CR2032 cell maintains the clock only; it does not back up recording.
For continued operation during an outage, plan suitable backup power for the recorder, cameras and network equipment. Runtime depends on that equipment and its load.
Install, test and maintain.
Add and connect
Scan the recorder’s QR code in an Ajax app, select a space and room, then connect the required cameras. A hub is optional for standalone video; detector-triggered video scenarios need the corresponding detectors and compatible hub.
