No. The NVR1004H does not include PoE ports. To power PoE cameras, you will need a separate PoE switch connected between the NVR and your cameras. If you prefer an all-in-one solution with built-in PoE, consider the VIGI NVR1004H-4P, which includes four 802.3af/at PoE ports. Does the NVR come with a hard drive? No — a hard drive is not included. The NVR1004H supports one 3.5" SATA drive up to 10 TB. We recommend a surveillance-grade drive such as the Seagate SkyHawk or WD Purple series, designed for the continuous read/write demands of 24/7 NVR recording. Does it only work with VIGI cameras? The NVR1004H is optimised for VIGI cameras and offers plug-and-play auto-detection with the full VIGI range. It also supports third-party ONVIF-compatible IP cameras, though advanced features such as smart detection alerts may not be available with non-VIGI cameras. Can I access recordings remotely on my phone? Yes. The free VIGI app (iOS and Android) provides live view, playback, and smart detection push notifications from anywhere with an internet connection. No subscription fee is required for remote access. How much recording time does 1 TB of storage provide? Storage duration depends on camera count, resolution, frame rate, and recording schedule. As a general guide, four 4MP cameras recording continuously with H.265+ compression will typically fill 1 TB in approximately 7–10 days. A 4 TB drive extends this to roughly 28–40 days of continuous recording. Can I expand beyond four cameras? No — the NVR1004H supports a maximum of four channels. For larger deployments, consider the VIGI NVR1008H (8-channel) or NVR2016H (16-channel). Does it support motion-triggered recording? Yes. The NVR1004H supports continuous, schedule-based, motion-triggered, and smart detection-triggered recording. When paired with compatible VIGI cameras, it can trigger recording based on person or vehicle detection events.
