Both record cameras up to 32MP with Ultra 265 / H.265 / H.264 compression, support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10 with Disk Group and Redundant Storage across eight independent SATA bays (up to 24 TB each), and include built-in Face Detection, Vehicle Detection (LPR), Temperature Detection and AcuSearch / AcuTrack smart search. Two independent HDMI+VGA output pairs support up to 4K/60Hz, and the local interface is available in 38 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.
- PoE ports — cameras need a separate PoE switch (this recorder has no built-in PoE ports)
- A ninth hard disk or more — this series tops out at 8 SATA bays (up to 192 TB total with eight 24 TB drives)
- Three or more independent monitor feeds — this series provides two independent HDMI+VGA output pairs (4 physical ports, 2 independent video feeds)
- Low-voltage DC 12V power input — this unit runs on AC 100–240V only, no DC power-brick option
- Running Face Recognition/AcuSearch and SIP/UMD analytics at the same time — Smart by NVR Analyzer Mode runs one mixed mode at a time, not both simultaneously

Key Features
Complete list from the official datasheet.
Eight bays, RAID protected. AI finds the moment.
Two real capabilities that define this series: RAID-protected multi-bay storage and onboard AI search.
Room to grow, protected against drive or unit failure
Eight independent, hot-swappable SATA bays each take a disk up to 24 TB — up to 192 TB in one recorder, with Disk Group and Redundant Storage supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 or 10, plus N+1 Hot spare and an optional redundant power supply module, so a failed drive, a failed PSU — or a failed recorder — doesn't stop recording.
Find the moment, not the footage
Built-in Face Detection, Vehicle Detection (LPR) and Temperature Detection on the camera side (up to 16 images/s in total) feed AcuSearch, AcuTrack, Face Snapshot Search and Human Body Search on the recorder — narrow hours of footage down to the exact clip.

Who uses it, where it goes and how to size it
Written for the NVR508-32E-R-IQ and 64E-R-IQ from the official datasheet: 32 or 64 IP channels, 384 or 512 Mbps incoming (200 Mbps with smart analysis on), 8 hot-swap SATA bays up to 24 TB each with RAID 0/1/5/6/10, optional redundant power supply, analysis by the recorder itself, no built-in PoE.
Which size suits which installation
- NVR508-32E-R-IQ: critical sites with up to 32 cameras — Up to 12 Mbps per camera with smart analysis off (384 Mbps ÷ 32), so 4K works on every channel; disks swap while recording and a second power supply can be added, for sites such as bank branches, hospitals or data rooms where downtime is not accepted.
- NVR508-64E-R-IQ: large sites up to 64 cameras — 512 Mbps with smart analysis off gives 8 Mbps per camera with all 64 used, enough for 64 4K cameras on H.265; with recorder analysis on, the 200 Mbps limit means about 3 Mbps per camera, so plan which cameras need analysis.
- Sites with ordinary cameras that need intrusion alarms — The recorder itself runs SIP on up to 8 channels of 2 MP and UMD on up to 16 channels of 2 MP from ordinary cameras, Uniview or third-party, so perimeter alarms can be added without replacing every camera.
- Integrators who want the full redundancy set — Among the 8-bay AI recorders on our site this series adds hot-swap disks and an optional redundant power supply to RAID 0/1/5/6/10 and N+1 hot spare; the NVR508-E-IQ has the same AI but neither of those two.
Where and how to install the recorder
- 19-inch rack, 2U, front access — The case is 443 × 448 × 93 mm and up to 6.5 kg before disks, deeper than the 432 mm NVR508-E-IQ, so check the rack depth. Mount it with the FL-2U rack mount, supported underneath, and keep the front clear: hot-swap disks come out from the front.
- Two power supplies on two feeds — Power is AC 100–240 V, up to 35 W without disks. For redundancy add the PWR-DC12-350A-IN 350 W module and feed the two supplies from different sources, for example one from the UPS and one from a separate mains circuit.
- Cool room: 50 °C limit, 40 °C for large disks — This series is rated -10 °C to 50 °C, 5 °C lower than the NVR508-E-R without AI, and 24 TB disks need a room at or below 40 °C. With eight drives, use an air-conditioned equipment room or a ventilated rack and keep front and rear vents free.
- Gigabit camera network — There are no PoE ports. Cameras go to PoE switches (each copper run within 100 m) with gigabit uplinks to one of the two gigabit RJ45 ports. Spread 64 cameras over several access switches so no single uplink carries the full 512 Mbps plus other traffic.
- Disks, RAID and alarm wiring — Fit eight identical 3.5-inch SATA surveillance-grade drives, build RAID 6 or RAID 5 before recording (creating an array erases the disks) and keep one spare drive on site for hot swap. Wire door contacts, sirens and lights to the 16 alarm inputs and 10 alarm outputs; use USB 3.0 or eSATA for exports.
Planning table: channels, bandwidth, disks and retention
Both share the 2U hot-swap case, eight bays with RAID 0/1/5/6/10, the optional redundant PSU, 32 MP recording, the same top decoding and the 200 Mbps limit with smart analysis on. The 64E-R-IQ doubles the channels and raises the smart-off input from 384 to 512 Mbps; the RAID level decides how much of the 192 TB is usable.
| NVR508-32E-R-IQ | NVR508-64E-R-IQ | |
|---|---|---|
| IP camera channels | 32 | 64 |
| Incoming bandwidth (Smart Off / Smart On) | 384 / 200 Mbps | 512 / 200 Mbps |
| Bandwidth per camera, all channels used (Smart Off / Smart On) | 12 / 6.25 Mbps | 8 / 3.125 Mbps |
| 4K cameras at 8 Mbps (Smart Off / Smart On) | 32 / 25 | 64 / 25 |
| Hard disks | 8 × SATA hot-swap, ≤ 24 TB each (192 TB) | 8 × SATA hot-swap, ≤ 24 TB each (192 TB) |
| Usable on 8 × 24 TB: RAID 5 / RAID 6 / RAID 10 | 168 / 144 / 96 TB | 168 / 144 / 96 TB |
| Power supply | AC 100–240 V + optional PWR-DC12-350A-IN | AC 100–240 V + optional PWR-DC12-350A-IN |
| Largest split screen (HDMI1/VGA1 / HDMI2/VGA2) | 32 / 16 | 64 / 16 |
| Days in RAID 5 (168 TB), all channels at 4 Mbps | 121.5 | 60.8 * |
| Days in RAID 6 (144 TB), all channels at 4 Mbps | 104.2 | 52.1 * |
- Pick the 32E-R-IQ for up to 32 cameras, including all-4K sites (32 × 8 = 256 Mbps fits 384 Mbps with smart analysis off), when the recorder must keep running through a disk or PSU failure.
- Pick the 64E-R-IQ for 33–64 cameras; turn recorder analysis on only if the total camera bitrate stays under 200 Mbps, otherwise let Uniview smart cameras do the analytics.
- If you do not need hot swap or a redundant PSU, the NVR508-32E-IQ / 64E-IQ gives the same channels and AI in a lighter case; if you need 128 channels, look at the NVR508-128E-R.
Retention assumes continuous 24-hour recording at 4 Mbps per camera (a typical H.265 main stream for a 4 MP camera): days = TB × 10^12 ÷ (cameras × 4,000,000 ÷ 8 × 86,400). Usable space on eight equal 24 TB disks: RAID 5 = 7 disks (168 TB), RAID 6 = 6 disks (144 TB), RAID 10 = 4 disks (96 TB). * 64 cameras at 4 Mbps = 256 Mbps, which fits 512 Mbps with smart analysis off but not the 200 Mbps limit with it on. 8 Mbps per 4K camera is a typical H.265 value; 24 TB disks require a room at or below 40 °C.
