• IVSEC NR6256EXA network video recorder
• Power supply
• Mouse
• Hard drive screws
• Printed quick installation guide

• 3.5" SATA surveillance hard drives, up to sixteen
• PoE switches and Cat5e or Cat6 cable for the cameras
• Monitors with HDMI (up to four)
• A network connection to your router for remote viewing

01

Fit the drives

Fit up to sixteen 3.5" SATA drives of up to 24TB each with the supplied screws. Use matching drives for RAID.

02

Connect the network

Plug the cameras into PoE switches, then connect the switches and your router to the recorder's gigabit network.

03

Set up storage and screens

Connect up to four HDMI monitors, run the wizard and choose RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 or 10, or use the drives individually.

04

Add cameras and remote view

Add IVSEC X range or ONVIF Profile S, G or T cameras, set the recording schedule, then connect the IVSEC mobile app or the free VMS.

Storage

Surveillance hard drives

Up to sixteen 3.5" SATA drives of up to 24TB. Tell us the camera count and days to keep and we will size the array.

Power

PoE switches

The recorder has no PoE ports. Managed PoE switches power and connect the cameras on each floor or building.

Cameras

IVSEC X range cameras

Plug and play with the recorder's smart search: intrusion, line crossing, face and plate detection.

Backup power

A UPS

Keeps a large RAID array recording through short outages and avoids sudden shutdowns.

University and school campuses

Cameras from many buildings on one recorder and one control room.

Shopping centres

Car parks, malls and loading docks, with long retention for incident requests.

Hospitals

Wards, entries and car parks, with RAID guarding against drive failure.

Stadiums and venues

Crowd density and queue length search from capable cameras across a large site.

Councils and city CCTV

Public spaces, depots and libraries brought onto one system.

Logistics hubs and factories

Hundreds of cameras over yards, docks and lines, with 16 alarm inputs.

How many cameras can it record?

Up to 256 IP cameras at up to 12MP each, within 1024 Mbps of total incoming camera bandwidth.

How much storage does it take?

Sixteen 3.5" SATA drives of up to 24TB each, 384TB in total. Drives are not included.

Which RAID levels does it support?

RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10. RAID 6 keeps recording with two failed drives, at the cost of two drives of capacity.

Does it have PoE ports?

No. Power the cameras from PoE switches on the same network as the recorder.

How many network ports does it have?

IVSEC's datasheet lists two non-PoE network ports in one row and one gigabit RJ45 in its connector list. Confirm with us if you need two separate networks.

How many monitors can it drive?

Four, from four HDMI outputs, with up to 64 cameras on each screen and output up to 4K.

Which cameras work with it?

IVSEC X range cameras plug and play, and other brands work over ONVIF Profile S, G and T with firmware 21.12 or later.

Does it do face and number plate search?

Yes, with cameras that support it. Face recognition, licence plate recognition, crowd density and queue length depend on the camera.

How big is it?

IVSEC lists 189 × 460 × 440 mm and 13.7 kg. Rack ears are not listed in the box, so plan on a rack shelf.

Can I view it on my phone?

Yes. Scan the recorder's QR code with the IVSEC mobile app, or use the free Surveillance Client on a PC.

What is the difference from the NR6648EX?

Four times the channels (256 against 64), 1024 Mbps instead of 640, sixteen bays instead of eight, more alarm I/O, USB 3.0 and an internal power supply.

What warranty does it have?

Two years parts, per IVSEC's datasheet. InFront Technologies handles warranty and technical support in Australia on 1300 736 970.
