Choose your drive above.
The recorder powers the cameras itself, so no PoE switch is needed. Pick No HDD or a fitted drive from the options above; the drive comes installed.
- IVSEC NR004XB network video recorder
- Hard drive fitted, if you choose a drive option
- 48 V DC power supply
- USB mouse
- Hard drive screws
- Printed quick installation guide
- IP cameras, up to four
- A Cat5e or Cat6 cable from each camera
- A TV or monitor with HDMI or VGA
- A network cable to your router, for the app
Small system, no extra boxes.
For a home, a shop front or a small office with up to four cameras: each camera plugs straight into the recorder on one cable for power and video, so there is no switch or camera power pack to find room for.

The recorder
Shelf sized: 300 mm wide.
At 53 x 300 x 227 mm and 0.7 kg it sits on a shelf, in a cupboard or in a comms cabinet. The single 3.5" SATA bay takes up to 16TB.

Front panel
Power and drive lights, USB for backups.
Two USB 2.0 ports in total take the mouse and a USB stick for saving footage. H.265+ compression keeps recordings small so the drive lasts longer.
How it goes in
From the box to the app.
01
Place the recorder
Put the recorder near your router and a TV or monitor. If you chose a drive option it is already fitted; otherwise fit a 3.5" SATA drive inside first.
02
Plug in the cameras
Run one network cable from each camera to a PoE port on the back (four PoE+ ports). The recorder powers the camera on the same cable, up to 100 m per run.
03
Run the wizard
Connect a TV or monitor with HDMI or VGA, plug in the mouse and power. Set the password, date and time; IVSEC X cameras appear by themselves.
04
Connect the app
Plug the recorder's network port into your router, scan its QR code with the free IVSEC mobile app, then set up your detection alerts.

Common questions
How many cameras can it record?
Four IP cameras, each plugged into one of the four built-in PoE+ ports.
Do I need a PoE switch?
No. The recorder has four PoE+ ports that power the cameras over the same network cable that carries the video.
What resolution cameras does it support?
Cameras up to 12MP. The total incoming bandwidth is 50 Mbps across the four channels.
Does it work with other camera brands?
Yes, ONVIF Profile S, G and T cameras (firmware 21.12 or later). IVSEC X range cameras are plug and play; smart features depend on the camera.
What hard drive does it take?
One 3.5" SATA drive up to 16TB. Choose No HDD or a 2TB to 10TB drive in the options above; the drive comes fitted.
Can I view the cameras on my phone?
Yes. Scan the QR code on the recorder with the free IVSEC mobile app to watch live and play back. A PC client and web browser access are also available.
Does it have smart detection?
Yes, with cameras that support it: human and vehicle, face, line crossing, perimeter intrusion, licence plate and more. Detection depends on the camera.
Can it show the cameras on a TV?
Yes. HDMI up to 4K and VGA outputs, showing one or four cameras on screen.
Does it record sound?
Yes, from cameras with a microphone. It supports two-way audio and has audio in and out connectors.
How do I find footage quickly?
Search by time, by event with smart detection filters, by snapshot, by tags, or with the slice view of thumbnails for each hour.
What comes in the box?
The recorder, a 48 V power supply, a USB mouse, hard drive screws and a printed quick installation guide. A drive is fitted if you choose a drive option.
What warranty does it have?

Installation and safety
Power. The recorder runs from its 48 V plug-in power supply. There is no mains wiring in the recorder; a new power point needs a licensed electrician.
Cabling. Network cable run inside walls or ceilings is customer cabling under AS/CA S009 and needs an ACMA-registered cabler.
Privacy and audio. Recording people and conversations is covered by state and territory surveillance laws. Point cameras at your own property, put up signage, and check the rules before you record audio.
What it does not do. It has no analogue (coax) inputs and only four PoE ports; for more cameras choose an 8 or 16 channel recorder.
