More in DVR
This range covers 4-channel DVR and NVR recorders spanning analogue HD (HDTVI/AHD/CVI via 5-in-1 or hybrid inputs), PoE IP recording, and PoC (power-over-coax) — all suited to small 4-camera installs such as shopfronts, vans, or single-storey domestics.
How to choose
- Camera type on site: analogue/HD-TVI cameras need a DVR or hybrid DVR (e.g. iDS-7204HQHI-K1/2S(B), ANNKE D941BB, Prolux PXD-8204-HYK4MP); IP cameras need an NVR (Hikvision K Series 4-ch PoE NVR, HiLook NVR-104H-D/4P, Prolux PXN-2104HS-4P/4K).
- PoE budget: several NVRs carry 4 built-in PoE ports (Cooper 1U 4PoE NVR, HiLook NVR-104H-D/4P, Prolux PXN-2104HS-4P/4K), removing the need for a separate injector or switch.
- Resolution ceiling: options range from 4MP (HiLook 4-ch NVR, Prolux hybrid DVR) up to 8MP/4K (ANNKE D941BB, both Hikvision 8MP 1U H.265 DVRs, Prolux PXN-2104HS-4P/4K).
- Cabling constraint: the HIKVISION 4-ch PoC DVR pushes power and video over the same coax run, useful where re-cabling isn't practical.
- Storage: the HIKVISION 8MP eSSD AcuSense DVR uses solid-state storage rather than a conventional HDD bay.
- Smart detection: AcuSense-branded models add line-crossing and human/vehicle filtering at the recorder rather than the camera.
Match channel count to camera count, confirm PoE port count against camera power draw, and check resolution support matches your camera's native output before ordering.

Which recorders in this range include PoE ports so I don't need a separate switch?
The Cooper 1U 4PoE NVR, HiLook NVR-104H-D/4P and Prolux PXN-2104HS-4P/4K all include 4 built-in PoE ports for direct camera power and data.
