D-Link (DNR-2020-04P) Just Connect 16-Channel PoE Network Video Recorder

The DNR-2020-04P JustConnect 16-Channel PoE Network Video Recorder is a standalone Network Video Recorder (NVR) that can record video from up to sixteen network cameras to its dual HDD storage without requiring users to turn on their PC. Featuring Power over Ethernet (PoE), the NVR supplies power to up to four PoE cameras, saving valuable time and electrical installation costs during setup.

Users are provided with a variety of options for viewing and organizing camera footage onscreen. Featuring live viewing of multiple channels, users can simply drag and drop selected cameras to the viewing area. Users can also control pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) functions from within the interface. A single camera may be viewed full-screen with two-way audio support. Optional Digital In/Digital Out (DI/DO) connections to triggers such as door and window sensors allow for easy event-based recording.

The DNR-2020-04P’s clear interface allows for easy configuration of many functions including compression, resolution, and frame rate for all connected cameras. Once the cameras have been set up, recordings can be made continuously, or according to a user-defined schedule. The NVR also provides event recording based on specific triggers such as when motion is detected.

Administrators may filter external connections to the NVR by IP address,limiting access and thus increasing security.Administrators may also manage access privileges for users by specifying the cameras they may monitor. The NVR also includes the option to protect data using a RAID 1 configuration,which duplicates recorded data onto two separate hard drives.

The DNR-2020-04P also enables users to remotely view and manage the NVR from anywhere via a web browser. The Gigabit Ethernet port provides superior bandwidth for viewing 16 camera streams simultaneously, so critical moments can be monitored and captured at all times. Additionally, using the mobile app allows administrators easy access for monitoring the DNR-2020-04P using mobile devices.
