Frequently Asked Questions
Does the NVR1008H-8MP include a hard drive?
No. The NVR is sold without a HDD. You will need to install a surveillance-grade SATA HDD (e.g., Western Digital Purple or Seagate SkyHawk). The unit supports up to 2 SATA drives for expanded storage capacity.
Do I need a separate PoE switch to connect cameras?
No. The NVR1008H-8MP has 8 built-in PoE+ ports that power and connect your cameras directly — no separate PoE switch or power adapters required for the cameras.
Can I use non-VIGI cameras with this NVR?
Yes. The NVR1008H-8MP is ONVIF-compliant, allowing you to add IP cameras from other brands. Plug-and-play auto-detection and instant activation applies only to VIGI cameras.
How do I access footage remotely?
Download the free VIGI app on iOS or Android, or log in via the web UI using your TP-Link ID. The VIGI Security Manager desktop application is also available for PC-based monitoring and management.
How many cameras can I connect at full resolution?
The NVR supports 8 channels at up to 8MP resolution simultaneously. Actual performance depends on camera resolution and bitrate settings. H.265+ compression is recommended to maximise storage efficiency and maintain smooth playback.
What mounting options are available?
The NVR1008H-8MP supports rack-mount installation (rack ears included), desktop placement, or under-desk mounting — giving installers flexibility to suit the installation environment.
