Standard Non-PoE Recorder
The NVR508-64B does not include built-in PoE camera
ports. All IP cameras must connect through compatible external PoE
switches or the existing network infrastructure.
This is the standard NVR508-64B and should not be confused with the
NVR508-64E-IQ, NVR508-64E-R, or NVR508-64E-R-IQ models.

Third-Party Camera Integration
Third-party IP cameras may not be plug-and-play and may require manual
network, ONVIF, RTSP, user-account, stream, codec, resolution, and frame
rate configuration.
Compatibility may vary depending on ONVIF profile support, firmware,
authentication method, video codec, resolution, frame rate, audio
format, stream profile, and smart-event support. Full functionality is
not guaranteed with every third-party camera.
Storage and Recording-Retention Notice
Recording retention depends on camera count, resolution, frame rate,
bitrate, compression format, scene activity, recording schedule,
smart-event configuration, hard-drive capacity, and RAID settings.
Surveillance-grade hard drives are recommended. Hard drives are not
included unless specifically stated in the selected product option.

Manufacturer Warranty
Three-Year UNV Recorder Warranty
This UNV network video recorder includes a three-year manufacturer
warranty when purchased through NSI Security, subject to manufacturer
warranty terms, serial-number verification, product eligibility, and
NSI Security’s applicable Terms and Conditions.
Important Product Information
Specifications are subject to change without notice. Features, camera
compatibility, smart functions, storage capacity, hard-drive support,
recording performance, decoding capability, bandwidth, display output,
cloud access, and overall system performance may vary depending on
firmware, connected cameras, hard-drive models, network configuration,
installation environment, system settings, and regional product revision.
Smart analytics listed for this standard recorder are generated by
compatible IP cameras and do not mean the recorder includes the same
recorder-side analytics provided by an IQ-series model.
Please verify current manufacturer documentation and NDAA status before
ordering for government, public-sector, or compliance-sensitive projects.
