Massive Storage with Ultra265 Compression 💾
This NVR features Ultra265 compression technology, combining U-Code and H.265 to dramatically reduce storage requirements—cutting storage costs by up to 75% or more while maintaining excellent image quality.
With two SATA bays supporting up to 16TB per drive, you can install up to 32TB of total storage, making this NVR ideal for long retention periods, high-resolution recording, and AI-heavy environments.
Ultra265 also helps reduce image blur and distortion while improving overall playback efficiency.
8K & High-Bandwidth Performance 🚀
The NVR502-16B-P16-IQ is built for high-resolution systems:
-
Up to 16MP / 8K recording support
-
320 Mbps inbound / outbound bandwidth (AI off)
-
160 Mbps inbound / outbound bandwidth (AI on)
-
HDMI & VGA independent video outputs
-
HDMI output up to 4K (3840×2160)
This makes it ideal for multi-camera, high-detail installations where performance cannot be compromised.
Built-In 16-Port PoE for Clean Installs 🔌
With 16 integrated PoE ports, this NVR allows you to power and manage cameras directly from the recorder—reducing installation time, cable clutter, and the need for external PoE switches. It’s a clean, efficient solution for both new deployments and system upgrades.
ANR Technology for Data Protection 🔒
The NVR502-16B-P16-IQ supports ANR (Automatic Network Redundancy). When used with cameras that include MicroSD storage, video is automatically recorded locally at the camera during a network interruption. Once the connection is restored, footage is seamlessly synchronized back to the NVR—ensuring no data loss, even during outages.
Third-Party Camera Compatibility 🌐
This NVR is fully ONVIF compliant (Profiles S, G, and T), allowing integration with supported third-party IP cameras. This flexibility makes it an excellent choice for system expansions or mixed-brand environments while still maintaining a unified management experience.
User-Friendly Management for Installers & End Users
Uniview’s ecosystem is designed with ease of use in mind. From installation to daily operation, the NVR502-16B-P16-IQ offers intuitive system navigation, robust device management, and efficient maintenance workflows—making it a favorite among professional installers and integrators worldwide.
NDAA Compliant for Regulated Projects 🇺🇸
As part of Uniview’s 500 Series, this NVR is NDAA compliant, making it suitable for federal facilities, government projects, education, and regulated industries where compliance is mandatory.
