Your Surveillance System, Your Control: The NVR with 4K HDMI
The TP-Link VIGI NVR1004H is the command center for your video surveillance. It receives, decodes, and stores video streams from up to four IP Cameras. Simply connect a monitor via HDMI or VGA, and you immediately have a live view in brilliant quality – thanks to 4K support, even in Ultra HD. Whether you want to play back recordings, manage settings, or simply check things live: With this recorder, you have full control over your security system, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
See More, Store Less: Ingenious H.265+ Video Compression
More recordings on the same hard drive? No problem. The VIGI NVR1004H uses the state-of-the-art H.265+ video codec. This intelligent compression technology drastically reduces the file size of your video recordings without visible loss of quality. This means for you: You can record significantly longer before the hard drive is full, and at the same time, you conserve bandwidth in your Network. A smart solution that saves real money.
Flexible and Open: ONVIF for Cameras of Your Choice
You don't want to be tied to a single manufacturer or already have IP Cameras from another provider? The VIGI NVR1004H is ONVIF compatible. This open industry standard ensures that you can easily integrate a wide range of cameras from various brands into your system. This gives you maximum flexibility in selecting and expanding your surveillance. For full functionality, especially with smart analysis events, we naturally recommend seamless combination with cameras from the TP-Link VIGI series.
Always and Everywhere Connected: Secure Home Surveillance Recorder with App Access
Whether on vacation, in the office, or on the go – with the VIGI NVR1004H, you are always just a tap away from your home or business. Access your cameras via the free VIGI App for iOS and Android, the VIGI Security Manager software for your PC, or simply via a web browser. You can view live images, browse recordings, and receive instant notifications on your smartphone when events are detected. This gives you peace of mind that everything is in order, no matter where you are.
