Product Description
The Prolux PXD-8208-HYK4MP is an 8-channel DVR (digital video recorder) for medium-sized CCTV systems, taking one hard drive in a compact 260-style case.
What it actually does
It accepts five signal types adaptively — HDTVI, AHD, CVI, CVBS and IP — so it works with a mix of older analogue-style cameras and newer network cameras without needing separate hardware. Up to 12 network cameras can be connected in total, which matters if you're planning a mainly-IP setup rather than a wired analogue one.
Video is compressed using H.265 pro+, a codec that keeps file sizes down so your hard drive lasts longer before footage needs overwriting. Recording tops out at 1080p at 15 fps — fine for identifying people and general activity, but worth knowing if you want silky-smooth motion capture, such as for fast-moving vehicles.

Before you buy
Check whether your existing cameras are analogue or IP, since that determines how many of the available channels you can actually use, and remember the DVR itself doesn't include a hard drive.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many cameras can this DVR support in total?
It has 8 channels for wired analogue-style inputs, and up to 12 network cameras can be connected — the source doesn't state these are additional to the 8 wired channels, so check total capacity before planning a mixed system.
Does it work with my existing analogue cameras?
Yes — it accepts HDTVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS signals adaptively, alongside IP cameras, so it can suit a mixed or transitioning camera setup.
Does it come with a hard drive?
No, the specs list consumption and weight 'without HDD', meaning you'll need to fit your own hard drive into the single available bay.
