How it goes in

From the rack to the first camera.

Rack it or shelve it

440 mm wide and 44 mm high, with brackets in the box. On rack angle rails TP-Link recommends a tray (not included) because of the weight. 100–240 VAC.

Fit the drives

Four SATA bays take drives of up to 16TB each. Drives chosen in the options come with the recorder. Power off before fitting a drive.

Connect the PoE switches

Each camera plugs into a PoE switch port. Thirty-two cameras need two 16-port PoE switches or one larger switch, linked to the recorder.

Add the cameras and the app

Connect a screen and the mouse, add the cameras, then link the recorder to your router and the VIGI app.

Pair it with

What this recorder needs

Switching

PoE switches

The recorder has no PoE ports. Two 16-port PoE+ switches such as the TP-Link Omada DS1018GMP cover thirty-two cameras. Check the power budget covers your cameras.

Storage

Surveillance drives

Choose the drive sizes in the options above, up to four drives, or fit your own. Each bay takes up to 16TB.

Cameras

VIGI and InSight cameras

TP-Link VIGI and InSight cameras such as the InSight S485, S385 and S285. ONVIF cameras from other brands also record.

Security

A lockable cabinet and a UPS

Keep the recorder out of reach, for example in the 24SECCAB security cabinet, and on a UPS so recording carries on through short power cuts.

Where it is used

Sites with 17 to 32 cameras.

Warehouses and depots

Docks, roller doors, aisles and yard on one recorder.

Office buildings

Entries, lifts, corridors and car parks across several floors.

Schools and campuses

Grounds, halls, gates and car parks, recorded in the comms room.

Shopping strips and large stores

Every entry, aisle and the loading dock.

Strata and apartment blocks

Car parks, lobbies, bin rooms and common areas.

Farms and industrial sites

Sheds, gates and yards linked back to one rack.

Each model has its own TP-Link datasheet; both columns come from those datasheets. Both are the same 440 × 330 × 44 mm chassis and need PoE switches for the cameras.

Common questions

Does this NVR power the cameras?

No. The NVR4032H has no PoE ports. Power the cameras from PoE switches and connect the switches to the recorder's network.

What PoE switches do I need?

Enough PoE ports for every camera and a power budget that covers them. For thirty-two cameras, two 16-port PoE+ switches such as the TP-Link Omada DS1018GMP. Ask us and we will size them for your cameras.

Are hard drives included?

Not as standard. Choose the drive sizes in the options above, from one drive up to four, or fit your own surveillance drives. The recorder needs a drive to record.

How much storage can it hold?

Four SATA drives of up to 16TB each, 64TB in total. This model has no eSATA port.

What camera resolution does it record?

Up to 8MP (4K) per camera, within 320 Mbps of incoming bandwidth in total, which is 10 Mbps per camera on average with all thirty-two connected.

How many cameras can I play back at once?

Up to 16 channels together, fewer if their total resolution passes 32MP. At 25 fps it decodes 16 channels at 2MP or 32 at 720p.

Can I use two screens?

Yes. One HDMI up to 4K and one VGA up to 1080p, each showing its own view. Live view splits up to 36 cameras.

Does it do face recognition?

Not today. TP-Link's datasheet lists face recognition and smart search by motion and object as in development for future firmware. Buy it for recording, not for face recognition.

Will it work with other camera brands?

Yes, ONVIF Profile S and T cameras. TP-Link notes some features may not work fully with other brands and recommends VIGI cameras for the best results.

Where do the human and vehicle alarms come from?

From the cameras. Line crossing, intrusion, human and vehicle detection need a camera that supports them. The recorder records the event and lets you play back by event.

Can it go in a rack?

Yes, it is 440 mm wide and 44 mm high with mounting brackets in the box. Because of its weight, TP-Link recommends a tray (not included) on rack angle rails.

Can I watch the cameras on my phone?

Yes, with the VIGI app for Android and iOS, VIGI Security Manager on a PC, or a web browser.

Installation and safety

Mains recorder. 100–240 VAC into an existing power point is normal use. A new circuit or any switchboard work needs a licensed electrician. Power off before fitting or removing a drive.

Camera cabling. Concealed cabling between the cameras, the switches and the recorder 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 and check the rules before you record audio.

What it does not do. No PoE ports, no analogue (coax) inputs and no eSATA. Face recognition is not available yet. Smart alarms need cameras that support them.
