The Uniarch S3 Series is a 1-HDD network video recorder offered in three sizes: NVR-106S3 (6-ch), NVR-110S3 (10-ch) and NVR-116S3 (16-ch). All three record cameras up to 6MP with Ultra 265 / H.265 / H.264 compression, output simultaneously over HDMI and VGA (up to 1920×1080), and accept third-party cameras via ONVIF (Profile S, G, T). One SATA bay takes a hard disk up to 6 TB; the local interface is available in 21 languages including Spanish (Latin America), Portuguese (Brazil) and French.
Is this the right recorder for you?
Plain-language guide for buyers and installers — based only on what this recorder actually does.
Small shops & homesThe 6-ch 106S3 plus six dual-light cameras is a complete starter kit — one disk, one screen, done.
Growing businessesBuy channels you don't use yet: the 110S3/116S3 lets you add cameras later without replacing the recorder.
Remote viewing on phoneP2P protocol built in — the owner checks the shop from a phone app without a fixed IP or network skills.
Local-language interface21 GUI languages including Spanish (Latin America), Portuguese (Brazil) and French — your customer operates it in their own language.
Longer video retentionUltra 265 roughly halves file size versus H.264 — the same 6 TB disk keeps weeks more footage.
Mixed-brand projectsONVIF Profile S/G/T means existing third-party IP cameras keep working — no need to replace the whole site.
Not the right pick if you need…
- PoE ports — cameras need a separate PoE switch (we bundle one at combo price)
- A second hard disk or RAID — this series has a single SATA bay
- Gigabit uplink — the network port is 10/100M (fine for 16 cameras at 64 Mbps total)
- Alarm in/out wiring for sirens or sensors
- Audio input — it has a 3.5mm audio output only (camera-side mics still record)

Who uses it, where it goes and how to set it up
Written for the Uniarch NVR-106S3, NVR-110S3 and NVR-116S3 from the official datasheet: 6, 10 or 16 channels, no built-in PoE, 64 Mbps incoming bandwidth shared by all cameras, recording up to 6 MP, 1 SATA bay up to 6 TB, DC 12 V / 2 A power.
Who it is for
- Shops and homes with 5 or 6 cameras (106S3) — A step above 4-channel kits: 6 channels with live view up to 9 screens and 6-channel synchronous playback. Pair it with a 6-port PoE switch such as the Uniarch SW-2106-LP for 4 cameras, or an 8-PoE-port switch for 6.
- Growing businesses and small sites (110S3 / 116S3) — 10 or 16 channels in the same 190 × 195 × 42 mm box, with a 10- or 16-screen live view. Because cameras come in through a separate switch, the cameras can be spread over a larger site with switches placed near each group.
- Upgrading an existing camera network — Where PoE switches and cameras are already installed, only the recorder changes: ONVIF Profile S, G and T are listed for third-party cameras, and the 21-language interface covers Spanish (Latin America), Portuguese (Brazil) and French.
- Not the right pick for — Plug and play PoE in one box (take the NVR-104S3-P4 / 108S3-P8), 16 high-bitrate cameras (64 Mbps total is 4 Mbps each), 4K cameras (recording stops at 6 MP), a second disk, or alarm in/out wiring.
Where and how to install the recorder
- Recorder, switch and router together — The NVR has a single 10/100 Mbps network port, so all cameras reach it through a PoE switch. Put recorder, switch and router in the same cabinet or shelf, connect the switch to the NVR with a short patch cable and keep every camera cable under 100 m of Cat5e or Cat6 copper.
- Far cameras: a switch near the group — For a gate or warehouse more than 100 m away, place a small PoE switch near those cameras and run one cable or fibre link back to the main switch. Every camera still counts toward the 6, 10 or 16 channels.
- Ventilation and temperature — Working range is -10 °C to 55 °C at ≤ 90% RH non-condensing. Do not stack the PoE switch directly on the recorder: both produce heat, and the disk inside the NVR is the part most sensitive to it.
- Power and UPS — The recorder uses a DC 12 V / 2 A adapter and draws ≤ 7 W without disk; the cameras get their power from the PoE switch. Put both the NVR adapter and the PoE switch on the same UPS, otherwise a power cut stops the cameras even if the recorder keeps running.
- Disk, lock and surge protection — Fit one SATA surveillance-grade drive up to 6 TB before mounting, and keep the recorder in a locked cabinet. Cameras on poles or outside walls need an earthed Ethernet surge protector so a surge does not travel through the switch into the NVR.
Planning table: 106S3, 110S3 or 116S3
All three share the same 64 Mbps incoming bandwidth and the same single 6 TB bay; only the channel count, decoding and screen layouts change. More channels therefore means a lower average bitrate per camera and fewer days on the disk when every channel is used.

| Retention on 6 TB, all channels at 4 Mbps (days) | ≈ 23.1 | ≈ 13.9 | ≈ 8.7 |
- Pick the 106S3 for 5 or 6 cameras: six 4 MP cameras at 4 Mbps keep about 23.1 days on 6 TB.
- Pick the 110S3 for 7 to 10 cameras; at 6.4 Mbps per camera it still has room for 4 MP and 5 MP main streams.
- Pick the 116S3 for 11 to 16 cameras, but keep the average at 4 Mbps or less and expect about 8.7 days on 6 TB at that rate; use Ultra 265 and motion recording to stretch it.
Average bitrate per camera = 64 Mbps ÷ channels. Retention = disk TB × 10^12 ÷ (cameras × bitrate ÷ 8 × 86400 s), continuous recording, no overwrite reserve. 2 Mbps and 4 Mbps are assumed averages for 2 MP and 4 MP cameras in H.265 or Ultra 265. Decoding rows are shortened; the 4×5MP@25 and 4×3MP@25 entries also apply to all three. All other values are from the official datasheet.

6/10/16 Channel NVR FAQ — NVR-106S3/110S3/116S3
How many IP cameras can each model handle?
The NVR-106S3 takes 6 IP cameras, the NVR-110S3 takes 10 and the NVR-116S3 takes 16, each recording at up to 6MP per channel. Incoming bandwidth is 64 Mbps for all models, and every model plays back all of its channels synchronously on the local monitor.
Does this series include PoE ports?
No — there is one 10/100M RJ45 network interface and no built-in PoE. Cameras connect through your network and are powered by a separate PoE switch or local supplies. The upside is low running cost: the recorder needs only DC 12V/2A and draws under 7W without HDD.
What is the maximum hard drive capacity?
One SATA bay, up to 6 TB per surveillance hard drive. Ultra 265 compression cuts recording size dramatically versus H.264, so the same 6 TB disk keeps footage for weeks longer or records more cameras at higher resolution within the same capacity.
Is it compatible with third-party ONVIF cameras?
Yes — full ONVIF conformance (Profile S, G and T). Existing IP cameras on site keep working, so an integrator can swap in this recorder today and replace cameras brand by brand later. The GUI offers 21 languages, including Latin American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.
What outputs and screen layouts does it offer?
HDMI and VGA outputs both reach 1920×1080 at 60 Hz, plus a 3.5mm audio output. Live view splits scale with the model — up to 16 windows on the NVR-116S3 — and corridor mode layouts (3/4/5/7/9/10/12/16) suit vertical scenes like aisles and gates.
Can several people watch remotely at the same time?
Yes — up to 128 remote users, with 48 Mbps of outgoing bandwidth shared between them. Protocols include P2P, DDNS, HTTP/HTTPS and RTSP, and browser access works with Chrome 45+, Edge 79+, Firefox 52+ and IE10/11 via plugin.
Which PoE switch do I pair with the NVR-110S3, and is its 10/100 Mbps network port enough for all cameras?
Yes: the recorder accepts at most 64 Mbps of camera video in total, which fits inside a 100 Mbps link, so a Fast Ethernet PoE switch is enough. Choose one with enough PoE ports and budget for your cameras, for example the Uniarch SW-2110-LP with 8 PoE ports for up to 8 cameras, plus an uplink port to the NVR. For 10 cameras use two switches or a larger one, and connect the router to the same switch so the NVR reaches the internet through it.
Can the NVR-116S3 record sixteen 4 MP cameras, and how many days will that keep?
Yes, if each main stream averages 4 Mbps or less, because 16 × 4 Mbps uses the full 64 Mbps incoming bandwidth; H.265 or Ultra 265 makes this realistic for 4 MP. On a 6 TB disk that is about 8.7 days of continuous recording, or about 17.4 days at 2 Mbps. Live view decodes 4 × 4MP@25 at full resolution, so the 16-screen view uses the cameras' sub-streams.
I need 30 days of recording with 10 cameras on the NVR-110S3. Is one 6 TB disk enough?
Only at a low average bitrate: 6 TB for 30 days and 10 cameras works out to about 1.85 Mbps per camera in continuous recording. That is possible for 2 MP cameras in Ultra 265, or for 4 MP cameras if quiet cameras record on motion only. There is just one SATA bay, so a larger disk is not an option above 6 TB; if 30 days at higher quality is a must, a 2-bay recorder is the better fit.
Which cameras should go on channels 1 to 4 of the NVR-116S3?
The ones that need smart alerts. The datasheet limits intrusion, line-crossing, enter-area and leave-area events from the camera to 4 channels in total, channels 1 to 4, as alarms only without image. Add your gate, door and fence cameras first so they take channels 1 to 4, and use normal motion recording for the rest. The detection runs in the camera, so those four must be cameras that support these functions.
Can I add Uniarch Uho Wi-Fi cameras to the NVR-106S3?
Check with us first. The NVR has no Wi-Fi and its datasheet does not list Uho cameras; Uho models are designed for the phone app with their own microSD card. A Wi-Fi camera on the same router would reach the recorder over the network like any IP camera, and would use one of the 6 channels, but whether a given Uho model can be added depends on the model. Send us the exact model before ordering; for reliable 24/7 recording a wired PoE camera is the safer choice.
Do I need a fixed IP address or port forwarding to watch the NVR-110S3 on my phone?
No. P2P is in the datasheet protocol list, so the recorder can be added to the phone app by scanning its code, without a fixed IP or router configuration. DDNS and UPnP are also listed if an installer prefers direct access. The practical limit is the site's internet upload speed, not the recorder (outgoing bandwidth is 48 Mbps), so phones normally watch the sub-stream remotely.
