NDAA-Compliant 64-Channel 4K RAID NVR
Uniview UNV NVR508-64E-R 64-Channel 4K Rackmount NVR — Australian Stock & 3-Year Warranty
The Uniview UNV NVR508-64E-R is a 64-channel, 8-bay enterprise network video recorder built for large-scale sites that demand maximum throughput and storage resilience. It records up to 32MP resolution in Ultra 265, holds eight hot-swap SATA drives up to 16TB each (128TB total) with RAID 0/1/5/6/10 and an optional redundant power supply, and pushes a full 384 Mbps of incoming bandwidth for high-megapixel camera arrays. As a non-PoE rackmount recorder, it pairs with PoE switches or self-powered cameras — the standard architecture for enterprise, council and multi-building installs.
Enterprise capacity, smart analytics on every channel
64 Channels, 384 Mbps
Record up to 64 IP cameras with a full 384 Mbps of incoming and outgoing bandwidth — ample headroom for high-megapixel arrays across a large campus or multi-building site.
Smart by IPC Analytics
Run Face Detection, Vehicle Detection, Smart Intrusion Prevention (SIP), Ultra Motion Detection and Video Metadata driven by the cameras, processing up to 16 images/s across all channels.
Fast VCA Search
Filter recordings by Human Body, Motor Vehicle, Non-Motor Vehicle and General events, plus People Counting reports and Heat Map — find the moment that matters without scrubbing.
Plate & Vehicle Library
Build up to 5 vehicle picture libraries totalling 25,000 plates, ideal for car parks, depots and gated enterprise sites needing watch-list matching.
Built for always-on, fault-tolerant recording
RAID 0/1/5/6/10
Eight SATA bays support full hardware RAID — including RAID 5 and 6 with parity — so footage survives one or even two drive failures without losing a recording.
Hot-Swap + N+1 Hot Spare
Replace a failed drive without powering down, and configure an N+1 hot spare so a standby recorder takes over automatically if a unit drops out of the array.
Redundant Power Supply
An optional redundant PSU keeps the recorder running if one power module fails — essential for control rooms and 24/7 enterprise sites.
Dual HDMI + Dual VGA
Two 4K HDMI and two VGA outputs drive independent video walls — view up to 64 channels on the main screen and a second layout on the auxiliary display.

How much footage can it hold?
Recording time depends on how many cameras you run, their resolution and frame rate, and whether you record continuously or on motion. The estimates below assume 64 cameras at 4MP, H.265, ~4 Mbps continuous — a typical enterprise load. Smart/motion-only recording, lower resolution or fewer cameras will extend retention significantly. Maximum capacity is eight SATA drives at 16TB each (128TB raw, less with RAID parity).
Approximate Recording Retention (64 × 4MP, H.265)
| 16 TB |
~6 days continuous · ~14 days motion-based |
| 32 TB |
~12 days continuous · ~28 days motion-based |
| 64 TB |
~24 days continuous · ~55 days motion-based |
| 96 TB |
~36 days continuous · ~80 days motion-based |
| 8 × 16 TB (128 TB max) |
~48 days continuous · ~108 days motion-based |
Figures are estimates for guidance only and will vary with scene activity, bitrate, camera settings and RAID level chosen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this NVR have built-in PoE ports?No. The NVR508-64E-R is a non-PoE rackmount recorder. Cameras connect over your network and are powered by separate PoE switches or their own supplies — the standard architecture for 64-camera enterprise installs, giving you flexible cable runs and easy expansion.
How many cameras can it record?Up to 64 IP channels at once, with a full 384 Mbps of incoming bandwidth — enough headroom for large high-megapixel camera arrays.
What's the maximum storage and which RAID levels are supported?Eight hot-swap SATA bays each take up to 16TB, for 128TB raw total. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10 plus N+1 hot spare, so footage survives one or two drive failures depending on the array you choose.
What resolution can it record?Up to 32MP per channel in Ultra 265, H.265 or H.264, so it's ready for the latest high-resolution Uniview UNV cameras while still decoding 4K and 1080P streams smoothly.
Does it have a redundant power supply?An optional redundant PSU is available so the recorder keeps running if one power module fails — recommended for control rooms and 24/7 enterprise or government sites.
What smart functions does it run?It runs Smart by IPC analytics — Face Detection, Vehicle Detection, SIP, Ultra Motion Detection and Video Metadata — plus fast VCA Search for human body, vehicle and general events, with People Counting and Heat Map reports.
Is it NDAA compliant?Yes. Per CCTV Guru, all Uniview UNV recorders including the NVR508-64E-R are NDAA compliant, making them suitable for government, education and enterprise projects with procurement requirements.
Does it work with third-party cameras?Yes, via ONVIF Profile S, G and T plus RTSP, so you can mix Uniview UNV cameras with conformant third-party brands across the 64 channels.
What rack space does it need and what warranty applies?It's a 2U rackmount chassis (442 × 448 × 93 mm) backed by a 3-year Australian warranty with local CCTV Guru support.
