Looking at the spec sheets, the 4, 8, and 16 channel NVRs all have 80 Mbps Input Bandwidth and '8 channel @ 2MP' Decoding Capability, with the difference being number of Input Cameras and Synchronous Playback.

 

Model Video: Input cameras Video: Input bandwidth Decoding: Synchronous playback Decoding: Capability
NVR1004H 4-Channel 80 Mbps 4-Channel 8-ch @ 2MP
NVR1008H 8-Channel 80 Mbps 8-Channel 8-ch @ 2MP
NVR2016H 16-Channel 80 Mbps 16-Channel 8-ch @ 2MP

 

Can the 4 channel NVR record more than 4 cameras, up to its 80 Mbps input bandwidth, to the HDD?

Hi @NetDev 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

Recording should be fine.

Playback, no.
