Product Description
A 4-channel PoE NVR is the recording box that also powers your cameras over the same cable, so this is what you'd buy to run and store footage from up to four IP (network) cameras.
What it actually does: the PXN-2104HS-4P/4K takes IP cameras up to 8MP resolution and records them, while its 4 built-in PoE ports mean each camera gets power and data down one Ethernet cable — no separate PoE switch or power adapter at the camera end.
Before you buy, check these
- Bandwidth: the NVR handles up to 80 Mbps incoming, shared across all four channels — with four 8MP streams running flat out you may need to balance resolution/frame rate to stay inside that ceiling.
- Storage: it takes 1 SATA hard drive, fitted internally — decide on drive size before ordering, as it's not supplied.
- Camera compatibility: it's ONVIF-compliant, meaning it will work with many third-party IP cameras, not just Prolux ones — worth confirming your specific camera model supports ONVIF.
- Monitor output: HDMI and VGA outputs both support up to 4K, useful if you're pairing it with a 4K monitor for detail-critical footage.
Compression is H.265, H.264 or MPEG4, which keeps file sizes down for a given quality — handy when you're working out how many days of footage a drive will hold. Built-in VCA (video content analysis) adds basic intelligent detection for reviewing events rather than scrubbing through hours of footage.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many cameras can I connect without extra equipment?
Four — it has 4 built-in PoE ports that supply power and data directly to compatible IP cameras, so no separate PoE switch is needed.
Will it work with cameras that aren't Prolux brand?
Yes, it's ONVIF-compliant, which means it's compatible with a wide range of third-party IP cameras — just check your camera model supports ONVIF first.
What's the maximum camera resolution it supports?
Up to 8MP per camera, with the NVR's total incoming bandwidth capped at 80 Mbps across all four channels combined.
Does it come with a hard drive for storage?
It supports 1 SATA HDD for local storage, but the drive itself isn't part of the listed specification, so you'll need to fit one.
