Features of the Black 16-Channel AJAX IP Alarm Recorder
Professional 16-Channel Recording Capability
The AJAX AJ-NVR116-B Alarm Recorder is designed to manage up to 16 IP channels, enabling comprehensive, simultaneous monitoring of multiple areas. This capability makes it the ideal solution for video surveillance systems requiring extensive coverage, whether in residential or commercial settings. Each channel operates independently, offering total flexibility in configuring and managing your security system.
4K resolution and exceptional visual detail
With support for resolutions up to 4K (8 megapixels) at 25/30 FPS, this recorder captures images with an extraordinary level of detail. The 3840x2160-pixel resolution ensures that every frame contains critical visual information, perfect for accurately identifying details, faces, and license plates. Ideal for applications where image quality is essential for investigations or legal documentation.
Efficient H.265 and H.264 Compression
H.265 and H.264 video compression drastically reduces bandwidth consumption and storage space without sacrificing quality. H.265 is particularly efficient, compressing video up to 50% more than H.264, which translates into real savings on storage and data transmission costs. This technology enables extended continuous recording with less disk space, maximizing your investment in hardware.
Expandable Storage up to 16 TB
The recorder includes a bay for one 3.5" SATA hard drive with a maximum capacity of 16 TB (not included). This massive storage space allows for weeks or months of continuous recording, depending on the compression settings and active channels. With 16 TB, you can store hundreds of hours of 4K video, providing a detailed history for retrospective investigations.
100 Mbps bandwidth for fast transmission
With bandwidth of up to 100 Mbps, the AJAX recorder ensures fast and reliable transmission between cameras and storage. This capability is essential for maintaining the integrity of real-time recording, especially when managing multiple high-resolution channels simultaneously. Sufficient bandwidth prevents bottlenecks and ensures that no important events are missed due to speed limitations.
Universal compatibility with ONVIF and RTSP cameras
The AJ-NVR116-B supports ONVIF and RTSP protocols, allowing you to integrate IP cameras from different manufacturers without limitations. You’re not tied to a closed ecosystem; you can combine cameras from multiple brands as long as they comply with these open standards. This flexibility is crucial for multi-vendor systems and facilitates future hardware expansions or upgrades without complications.
Motion Detection and Smart Recording
The recorder supports motion-activated recording and scheduled recording, allowing you to fully customize when recording takes place. Intelligent motion detection identifies changes in the scene and automatically triggers recording, saving disk space by preventing unnecessary recordings. You can also schedule specific times for continuous recording, combining both modes according to your surveillance strategy.
Full integration with the AJAX ecosystem
This NVR integrates seamlessly with the AJAX alarm system, allowing AJAX detectors to trigger specific cameras to start automatic recording when an alarm is triggered. This synergy provides instant visual verification of security events, linking sensor data with real-time video. The information is transmitted directly to mobile and desktop apps for remote monitoring.
Easy management via the AJAX app
Setup and management are performed through the AJAX Security System app, available on smartphones and computers. Access recordings remotely, view real-time video, search by event, and create complex scenarios from anywhere. AJAX’s intuitive interface makes it easy even for non-technical users to configure cameras, customize motion detection, and reduce false alarms.
Compact and Professional Design
Measuring 200 x 200 x 45 mm and weighing 700 g, the recorder features a compact black design that blends easily into any environment. The discreet housing is visually unobtrusive, allowing for a clean installation in control centers as well as commercial or residential spaces. Its small size in no way compromises its professional capabilities or performance.
Hard Drive-Free Operation and Versatile Power Options
The device can operate even without a hard drive installed, offering flexibility at the time of purchase and installation. You can add storage according to your needs and budget. Power is supplied via the included 230V AC (50 Hz) power supply, with operating specifications ranging from 0°C to 40°C and humidity up to 75%, allowing for installation in indoor environments with standard environmental control.
Real-world use cases
This recorder is ideal for: offices and commercial spaces requiring multi-channel surveillance, educational institutions needing to record in multiple areas, single-family homes and apartments with advanced camera systems, small industrial facilities where visual documentation is mandatory, and hospitality establishments requiring comprehensive monitoring and remote management. Its universal compatibility makes it perfect for integration with existing AJAX alarm systems.
Patented Ajax JetSparrow Technology
Video transmission, storage, and management are handled through Ajax JetSparrow, a patented technology that ensures extremely fast and secure video management. This optimized processing engine accelerates searches, event indexing, and transmission, reducing latency and providing an immediate response in critical situations.
