4-Channel NVRs and DVRs
A 4-channel recorder handles up to four cameras — a practical fit for a small house, flat, or single-room shop. This range mixes NVRs (for network/IP cameras) and DVRs (for analogue or HD-over-coax cameras), including hybrid models that accept either.
How to choose
- Recorder type: NVRs (Hikvision HiLook NVR, Tiandy TC-R3104, Prolux PXN-2104HS) suit IP cameras; DVRs (ANNKE D941BB, Dahua XVR5104HS-I3, Prolux PXD-8204-HYK4MP) suit analogue/HD-TVI setups; check which cameras you already own or plan to buy.
- PoE ports: Models like the HiLook NVR-104H-D/4P and Tiandy TC-R3104 include 4 built-in PoE ports, powering cameras through the same cable that carries video — fewer separate power leads to run.
- Resolution support: Ranges from 1080p (Hikvision 4-ch 1080p 1U DVR) up to 8MP/4K (ANNKE D941BB, HIKVISION 8MP eSSD DVR, Prolux PXN-2104HS-4P/4K) — match this to your camera's output.
- Storage: The HIKVISION 8-ch... wait, this is 4-ch — the HIKVISION 4-ch 8MP eSSD DVR uses an internal eSSD rather than a conventional hard drive.
- AI features: Dahua's WizSense and Hikvision's AcuSense models add smarter motion detection to cut false alerts.
Check compatibility between your cameras and recorder type before buying.
4CH — frequently asked questions
What's the difference between an NVR and a DVR?
An NVR records network (IP) cameras, while a DVR records analogue or HD-over-coax cameras; hybrid models in this range accept both.
How many cameras can a 4-channel recorder support?
Up to four cameras, making it suited to a small home or single-room business rather than a larger site.
What does a PoE port do on an NVR?
It lets one cable carry both power and video to a camera, which some models here, like the HiLook NVR-104H-D/4P, include as 4 built-in ports.
Do I need a separate hard drive?
Most DVRs and NVRs need a hard drive fitted, though the HIKVISION 4-ch 8MP eSSD DVR uses a built-in eSSD instead.
