Recording, display and audio

Device class: Network Video Recorder
IP camera inputs: 32 IP camera input channels. This count is separate from simultaneous decoding and playback limits.
Incoming bandwidth: 320 Mbps incoming-bandwidth reference. Camera stream rates and channel limits still apply.
Outgoing bandwidth: 400 Mbps outgoing-bandwidth reference; not the available internet connection speed.
Display connections: Two HDMI and two VGA interfaces. Their supported resolutions and output pairings are separate from the camera-input count.
HDMI 1 display modes: HDMI 1 lists 7680 × 4320 at 30 Hz, 3840 × 2160 at 60 or 30 Hz, and lower display modes. This is display output, not an all-camera recording or decoding rate.
HDMI 2 display modes: HDMI 2 lists 3840 × 2160 at 60 or 30 Hz and lower modes. Confirm simultaneous output settings before selecting displays.
VGA display modes: Each VGA output lists 1920 × 1080, 1280 × 1024, 1280 × 720 or 1024 × 768 at 60 Hz.
Display output pairing: HDMI 1 and VGA 1 provide simultaneous main output; HDMI 2 and VGA 2 provide simultaneous auxiliary output. Four connectors do not mean four independent source views.
CVBS video output: One BNC CVBS output, 1.0 Vp-p at 75 Ω: PAL 704 × 576 or NTSC 704 × 480. Separate from IP input resolution.
Audio outputs: Two RCA line-level audio-output channels, 1 kΩ. This is not a built-in microphone or speaker claim.
Two-way audio connection: One RCA two-way audio channel, 2.0 Vp-p at 1 kΩ, using the audio input. Confirm the connected microphone, output device and client.
Video codec reference: H.265+, H.265, H.264+ and H.264 are listed. Confirm camera, client and recorder configuration; no fixed storage saving is guaranteed.
Recording-resolution list: 32, 24, 12, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 and 3 MP, 1080p, UXGA, 720p, VGA, 4CIF, DCIF, 2CIF, CIF and QCIF are listed. This list does not specify simultaneous decoding counts or frame rates.
Synchronous playback: 16-channel synchronous playback is listed independently of IP inputs and decoding capacity.
Audio codec reference: G.711ulaw, G.711alaw, G.722, G.726, AAC, MP2L2 and PCM are listed. Confirm the actual stream and client compatibility.
8K display combination limit: In the cited global datasheet, when HDMI 1 is set to 8K, HDMI 2 is limited to 1080p. Do not quote simultaneous 8K plus 4K as an unconditional mode.

Network, storage and interfaces

Ethernet interfaces: Two self-adaptive 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet interfaces. No PoE output, automatic link aggregation or doubled recording bandwidth is inferred.
Network protocol reference: The protocol row includes TCP/IP, DHCP, IPv4/IPv6, DNS, DDNS, NTP, RTSP, SADP, SMTP, SNMP, NFS, iSCSI, ISUP, UPnP, HTTP and HTTPS. This is not an enabled-service or universal interoperability claim.
Remote-access reference: Hik-Connect and DDNS are named in the manufacturer feature list. Account, network, service availability and security configuration require confirmation; no live ISD integration is claimed.
Browser-access reference: Web access without a plug-in is listed. Check the actual browser and installed firmware; this is not a current-browser or security-support guarantee.
Camera analytics reference: The source describes configurable functions with special cameras, including VCA, heat map, ANPR and people counting. This is not proof of recorder-side AI or those functions on every connected camera/channel.
POS function reference: POS information overlay on live view and playback, plus POS-triggered recording and alarm, are listed. Confirm POS interface and configuration; a POS terminal is not assumed included.
SATA connections: Eight SATA interfaces are listed. Drives are not assumed included; interface count is not usable or guaranteed total storage.
eSATA connection: One eSATA interface is listed. Confirm external storage and configuration.
RAID modes: RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10 are listed. Required disks, usable capacity and recovery need confirmation; RAID is not a backup or a no-data-loss guarantee.
Hot-spare feature reference: N+M hot spare is listed as a system feature. Additional recorders, network design and configuration are not assumed included.
Serial connections: One full-duplex RS-485 and one RS-232 interface. Confirm device protocol and wiring.
Alarm connections: 16 alarm inputs and nine alarm outputs are listed. Counts do not establish external contact ratings.
USB connections: Front: two USB 2.0 ports. Rear: two USB 3.0 ports. Confirm supported peripherals and export workflow.
Controlled alarm power output: Ctrl 12V is a controllable 12 V DC, 1 A output for an external alarm device, controlled by alarm output nine. It is not the recorder mains power input.
DC auxiliary power output: A separate 12 V DC, 1 A output is listed. This is an output, not a 12 V recorder-input requirement.
Dual-stream recording reference: Dual-stream recording is listed. Actual camera streams, bandwidth and retention depend on configuration.
SATA hot-plug reference: The cited global datasheet describes the eight SATA interfaces as supporting hot-plug. Confirm the supplied hardware, disks and supported procedure before replacing a drive.
Solar-camera transport reference: The cited global datasheet names OTAP connection for a solar-powered camera, with stream requested by the user and video returned according to schedule. Confirm exact camera, firmware and workflow; not universal solar-camera support.

Power, environment and selection

AC power input: 100–240 V AC, 50–60 Hz. Distinct from the 12 V auxiliary outputs.
Diskless consumption: At most 50 W without HDDs. Do not use this as the loaded recorder or UPS power budget.
Operating temperature: -10 to +55 °C. Confirm enclosure ventilation and actual operating conditions.
Working humidity: 10–90% humidity is listed. No additional condensation or outdoor-protection rating is inferred.
Chassis reference: 2U chassis. Rack accessories, mounting depth, cable clearance and ventilation require confirmation.
Stream transport reference: Stream-over-TLS technology is listed. Confirm firmware and enabled settings; this is not an all-connections encryption or security-certification claim.
Playback verification reference: Double verification for playback and downloading is listed. Confirm the actual configuration; no deployed authentication workflow is claimed.
Diskless weight: At most 10 kg without HDDs. This is not a packaged shipping weight or the separate 64-channel model weight scope.
