Longse NVR3109S1P8 9CH 4K PoE NVR Recorder 8 Port PoE H.265+ Up to 8TB CCTV

The Longse NVR3109S1P8 is a 9-channel NVR (network video recorder — the box that stores footage from your IP cameras) with 8 built-in PoE ports, meaning each camera runs on a single cable for both power and data. No separate injectors or a PoE switch needed for up to 8 cameras.

Key specs

• 8× independent 100Mbps PoE ports — plug-and-play camera detection, no manual configuration required
• PoE power: 30W per port in AT mode, 15W per port in AF mode
• Total PoE budget: 45W shared across all 8 ports — worth checking against your cameras' combined draw, especially if any run IR illuminators or heaters
• Extended cable mode up to 200m per run, using 45/78 line order — useful where cameras sit further from the recorder than standard 100m Ethernet limits allow
• Records in H.265+ compression, which keeps file sizes down versus older H.264 for the same footage quality
• Supports storage drives up to 8TB

Before you buy

Check your camera count against the 45W total PoE budget — eight cameras drawing near their AT-mode maximum won't all run at full power simultaneously. If you're recording continuously in 4K from multiple channels, a larger drive within the 8TB limit will buy you more retention days.

One practical note from real buyers: on first setup you may be prompted for a password even though none was set — the default is 12345, though this doesn't always work if the unit arrived pre-configured. Setting up recovery email/security questions early avoids a lockout scenario.
