8-channel NVR recorder – PoE/UTP SMART PRO

The 8-channel NVR recorder – PoE/UTP SMART PRO is designed for users who want to combine high image quality (4K), AI detection, and a future-proof IP camera system. This recorder supports IP cameras up to 8 megapixels (4K), also known as ELITE cameras within the Sitcon product line. The recorder comes standard with a built-in 4TB hard drive and is expandable to up to 8TB of storage. Thanks to the built-in 8-port PoE switch, you can connect up to eight IP cameras directly with just one network cable per camera for both data and power.

4K/ELITE support with AI detection

The 8-channel NVR recorder – PoE/UTP SMART PRO supports IP cameras up to 8 MP (4K), which is approximately four times the resolution of Full HD. This ensures exceptionally sharp images with a high level of detail, making people, license plates, and objects easier to recognize. The recorder is fully compatible with Sitcon ELITE cameras and offers AI detection, which can distinguish between, for example, people and general motion. This helps reduce false positives and makes reviewing more efficient.

Motion detection and recording on 4 TB hard drive

A 4 TB hard drive is pre-installed in the recorder as standard. The NVR is configured to record on motion, including several seconds of pre-recording before motion is actually detected. This ensures the complete sequence of an event. Depending on the resolution, number of cameras, and setting (continuous or motion-only), eight cameras can often record for several days to weeks. When the hard drive fills up, the oldest recordings are automatically overwritten. Storage capacity can be expanded up to 8 TB.

Watch live via app and computer

The SMART PRO uses P2P technology, so simply pairing via a QR code in the app is enough to log in remotely. The free app for iOS and Android, and software for Windows and Mac, allows you to watch live, rewind, and adjust settings. Push notifications for motion alerts ensure you receive immediate notifications when activity is detected.

View images on a monitor or TV

The recorder features HDMI and VGA outputs, making it easy to connect to a monitor or television. You can choose between displaying a single camera in full screen, a multi-camera mosaic, or an overview of all eight channels. The user-friendly menu allows you to quickly search by date, time, or event.

Built-in 8-port PoE switch

The 8-channel NVR recorder – PoE/UTP SMART PRO features a built-in 8-port PoE switch. This allows the connected IP cameras to receive power and network connectivity via a single UTP cable. This streamlines installation and eliminates the need for separate power supplies for each camera. The recorder is compatible with Sitcon IP cameras and other ONVIF-compliant IP cameras that meet the maximum resolution and bandwidth requirements.

Storage capacity and expansion options

The recorder comes standard with 4 TB of internal storage. For installations with many cameras or longer retention periods, the storage can be expanded to a total of 8 TB. This makes the recorder suitable for both smaller professional installations and larger residential systems requiring longer retention periods.
