Frequently Asked Questions
Does the NVR1008H-8P come with a hard drive?
No, the NVR1008H-8P does not include a hard drive. It supports one 3.5" SATA HDD up to 10TB. We recommend a surveillance-rated drive such as the Western Digital Purple or Seagate SkyHawk series for 24/7 operation.
Can I use non-TP-Link cameras with this NVR?
Yes. The NVR1008H-8P supports ONVIF-compliant IP cameras from other manufacturers. For the best experience and full feature access — including Plug & Play activation and smart detection — use TP-Link VIGI cameras.
How do I access footage remotely?
Download the free VIGI app on iOS or Android, or log in via a web browser. Remote access is available over your internet connection without requiring a static IP address, using TP-Link's cloud relay service.
How many cameras can I connect?
Up to 8 IP cameras can be connected — all via the built-in PoE+ ports. Each port delivers up to 30W of power (802.3at), with a total PoE budget of 80W across all ports.
Is this NVR suitable for outdoor use?
The NVR itself is designed for indoor installation only. For outdoor surveillance, pair it with TP-Link VIGI outdoor-rated IP cameras (IP67 or higher).
What is the maximum storage capacity?
The NVR supports a single HDD up to 10TB. With H.265+ compression enabled, this provides several weeks to months of continuous recording depending on camera resolution and motion activity.
