The Ajax NVR (8-ch) White is an 8-channel network video recorder that brings IP camera surveillance into the Ajax ecosystem. Supporting up to 4K recording, a single SATA drive up to 16 TB, ONVIF/RTSP camera compatibility and encrypted JetSparrow video streaming, it delivers fast, secure video management and instant alarm verification through the Ajax app.

Ajax NVR (8-ch) White 8-Channel Network Video Recorder

The Ajax NVR (8-ch) is a network video recorder that unites video surveillance with Ajax security and automation. It records and manages up to eight IP cameras — Ajax or compatible third-party ONVIF/RTSP models — storing footage locally on a SATA hard drive and making it instantly accessible through the Ajax app alongside the rest of the system.

Using Ajax's encrypted JetSparrow peer-to-peer video protocol and Ajax Cloud for events, the NVR delivers rapid archive access and high-resolution alarm verification, whether on site or remotely.

8-Channel 4K Recording

The NVR supports up to eight camera channels at resolutions up to 4K (25/30 fps), with H.265 and H.264 decoding for efficient storage and smooth playback of high-resolution footage.

Up to 16 TB Local Storage

A single SATA drive of up to 16 TB (2.5″ or 3.5″, sold separately) provides ample local storage for continuous and event-based recording. HDD status is monitored and reported in the Ajax app so you are alerted to any storage issues.

Wide Camera Compatibility

Support for ONVIF (Profile S/T) and RTSP means the NVR works with almost any IP camera, letting you integrate existing third-party cameras into your Ajax system. An auto-search feature quickly finds cameras on the network for fast connection.

Smart Motion Detection and Fast Archive

Adjustable pixel-based motion detection with customisable zones ensures recording is triggered only by relevant movement, conserving drive space and streamlining archive navigation. Dual-stream technology and event synchronisation make finding footage fast, and a customisable virtual videowall organises your cameras.

Secure and Instant Alarm Verification

When Ajax detectors are triggered, associated cameras provide instant high-resolution alarm verification in the same app. Multi-tiered account security and encrypted JetSparrow streaming keep video private and protected.

Tamper Protection and Easy Installation

The included SmartBracket mounting panel simplifies installation and includes a tamper that alerts the system to any attempt to detach or move the device.
