Ajax NVR DC 16-Channel 12V Black

Ajax NVR DC 16-Channel 12V Black

The Ajax NVR DC 16-channel is a network video recorder designed to manage up to 16 compatible IP cameras within an Ajax or supported third-party video surveillance system. It supports resolutions up to 4K at 25/30 frames per second and provides centralised video recording, archive navigation and alarm visual verification.

Additionally, the low-voltage power design makes it suitable for installations where a conventional mains-powered NVR is not required or where the system uses a dedicated DC power infrastructure.

Video Stream And Camera Capacity

The NVR supports up to 16 video channels.

Supported video performance includes:

• Up to 4K resolution
• Up to 25/30 FPS
• H.265 decoding
• H.264 decoding
• Bandwidth up to 100 Mbit/s

As a result, installers can build multi-camera Ajax video surveillance systems while maintaining high-resolution video recording and playback.

IP Camera Compatibility

The recorder supports compatible IP cameras using:

• ONVIF Profile S
• ONVIF Profile T — partial support
• RTSP

Therefore, the NVR can operate with Ajax cameras as well as compatible third-party IP cameras.

In addition, Ajax cameras and NVRs can integrate with supported third-party video management systems through ONVIF.

Ajax NVR DC 16-Channel Storage

The recorder supports one internal SATA storage drive with a capacity of up to 16TB.

Supported drive types include:

• 2.5-inch HDD
• 3.5-inch HDD
• 2.5-inch SSD
• Compatible SATA storage devices

The installed drive must have a power consumption of no more than 7W.

Important: The HDD or SSD is not included with the NVR.

Therefore, the appropriate surveillance storage drive must be selected separately according to the required recording capacity and retention period.

In-App Video Management

Ajax provides an integrated video management system through its mobile and desktop applications.

Video management features include:

• Video wall combining connected cameras
• Event filters
• Timeline navigation
• Smooth video preview
• Centralised archive access

Consequently, users can review live and recorded video from multiple cameras within the Ajax interface.

Motion Detection

The NVR includes built-in software for detecting movement within the video frame.

Users can choose between:

• Motion analysis performed by the NVR
• Motion analysis performed by supported camera algorithms

This option can be configured through an Ajax app.

Therefore, installers can select the most appropriate motion detection method for each surveillance setup.

Visual Verification Of Ajax Alarms

The NVR supports visual verification scenarios within Ajax security systems.

For example, Ajax detectors can trigger selected cameras to begin recording when an alarm occurs.

The resulting footage becomes available through compatible Ajax mobile and desktop applications.

As a result, users can quickly review video associated with security events rather than searching through unrelated footage.

Privacy And Access Management

Ajax provides configurable access rights for:

• System users through Ajax mobile apps
• Monitoring company operators through PRO Desktop

Therefore, system administrators can control who may access surveillance video and recorded archives.

Ethernet Communication

The NVR connects to the local network through Ethernet.

• Ethernet Speed: Up to 100 Mbit/s
• Network Use: Camera communication, video transmission and system connectivity

A reliable wired network connection provides stable communication between the recorder, connected cameras and Ajax services.

Bluetooth Communication

The NVR includes Bluetooth Low Energy for Ethernet setup.

• Technology: Bluetooth Low Energy
• Frequency Band: 2.400–2.4835 GHz
• Radio Signal Power: 2.5mW

Bluetooth assists with initial network configuration rather than normal video transmission.

Power Supply

The NVR operates from a low-voltage DC supply.

Without a jumper installed on the PSU board:

• Operating Voltage: 8–16V DC
• Maximum Current: Up to 4A
• Turn-On Threshold: 8.1V DC ±0.1V
• Turn-Off Threshold: 6.8V DC ±0.3V

With a jumper installed on the PSU board:

• Operating Voltage: 12.3–16V DC
• Maximum Current: Up to 4A
• Turn-On Threshold: 12.4V DC ±0.1V
• Turn-Off Threshold: 10.4V DC ±0.3V

Maximum Power Consumption: Up to 24W

The system clock uses a CR2032 3V battery.

Sabotage Protection

The NVR includes tamper protection.

The system can notify users when someone attempts to:

• Detach the recorder from its mounting surface
• Remove the recorder from its mounting panel

Consequently, the NVR can form part of the wider Ajax sabotage protection strategy.

Installation Requirements

The NVR DC is designed for indoor installation only.

Recommended environmental conditions include:

• Operating temperature from 0°C to +40°C
• Operating humidity up to 75%
• Protection class IP20

Therefore, installers should position the recorder inside a suitable protected indoor environment.
