TriGuard Active Deterrence
When the AI detects a person in a restricted zone, each camera flashes red & blue strobe lights, sounds a siren and lets you talk through two-way audio — proactive protection that stops trouble before it starts, not just after-the-fact evidence.
ColorHunter — Full Colour 24/7
ColorHunter warm-light imaging keeps footage in vivid full colour around the clock down to 0.001 lux — capturing clothing, vehicle and skin tones that grainy black-and-white IR cameras miss.
AI IQ Recorder — Find Events Fast
The NVR501-IQ adds AcuSearch, AcuTrack and SeekFree: filter footage by people or vehicles, follow a target across cameras, or search recordings in plain language — find what you need in seconds instead of scrubbing for hours.
One-Cable PoE Install
Eight built-in PoE ports power and connect each camera over a single Cat6 run — no separate switch or power supplies. 4K HDMI output, free EZCloud/UNV-Link remote viewing, and 4 spare channels to grow into.
How does the active deterrence work?
When the camera's AI detects a person in a restricted zone, it flashes red & blue strobe lights, sounds an audible siren and lets you speak through two-way audio — warning intruders off in real time rather than just recording them.
Do the cameras record in colour at night?
Yes. These are ColorHunter TriGuard cameras — warm-light technology keeps footage in full colour 24/7 down to 0.001 lux, not grainy black-and-white IR.
Is this kit NDAA compliant?
Yes. Both the Uniview UNV TriGuard cameras and the NVR501-08B-P8-IQ recorder are NDAA Section 889 compliant, making this kit suitable for government, education and security-sensitive sites in Australia.
Does a hard drive come included?
No — the NVR has one SATA bay but ships without storage. We recommend a surveillance-grade Seagate SkyHawk or WD Purple HDD. See the retention table above to size your drive to how long you want to keep footage.
Does it support two-way audio?
Yes. Each camera has a built-in mic and speaker, so you can listen and talk live through the app or NVR to challenge trespassers or greet visitors (check local laws before recording audio).
How are the cameras powered?
Each camera runs on a single Cat6 cable to one of the NVR's 8 built-in PoE ports — no separate power supplies or powerpoints at the camera.
Can I add more cameras later?
Yes. The NVR has 8 PoE ports and you're using 4, so you can add up to 4 more cameras by plugging them into the spare ports — no recorder upgrade needed.
What is AcuSearch, AcuTrack and SeekFree?
They're the recorder's -IQ AI review tools: AcuSearch filters footage by people and vehicles, AcuTrack follows a target across cameras, and SeekFree lets you search recordings by typing what you're after — so you find events in seconds.
Can I view it remotely?
Yes. Free P2P cloud access through the Uniview UNV app and EZCloud lets you watch live and recorded footage from your phone or computer anywhere.
