TP-Link VIGI NVR1004H-4P 4 Channel PoE+ Network Video Recorder

TP-Link VIGI 4 Channel PoE+ Network Video Recorder (VIGI NVR1004H-4P) - 5 Years Local Warranty

The VIGI NVR1004H-4P is a four-channel recorder with four PoE+ ports built in, so each camera needs one cable for both data and power. It accepts inputs up to 8MP, records in H.265+, takes a single SATA drive up to 10 TB, and runs the VIGI smart-detection event set on its own hardware without any licence or subscription.

Four PoE+ Ports With a 53 W Budget

Ports 1 to 4 are RJ-45 10/100 Mbps self-adaptive interfaces compliant with 802.3at/af. TP-Link publishes 53 W available across all PoE+ ports with a maximum of 30 W on any single port, which comfortably carries four standard VIGI bullet or turret cameras and leaves room for one higher-draw unit. A separate RJ-45 10/100 Mbps port connects the recorder to your LAN.

8MP Input, H.265+ Recording, 80 Mbps In

Incoming bandwidth is 80 Mbps and outgoing is 60 Mbps. Recording resolutions run from 8MP down through 5MP, 4MP, 3MP, 1080p, UXGA, 720p, VGA and the CIF family, encoded in H.265+, H.265, H.264+ or H.264. H.265+ is what makes a single 10 TB drive go a long way: it cuts the bitrate substantially against H.264 for the same picture, so a four-camera site can hold weeks rather than days.

Smart Detection Handled on the Recorder

The alarm set covers motion detection, video tampering, scene change, line crossing, intrusion, region entering and exiting, loitering, object abandoned and removal, vehicle detection, human detection, abnormal sound detection and smart frame. Anomaly alarms cover video loss, offline and IP conflict, disk exception and login exception. Any of these can trigger recording, a white-light alarm, the buzzer, a log entry or an audible alarm — useful because human and vehicle classification cuts down the false alerts that motion-only systems generate outdoors.

4K Output and Four-Channel Playback

HDMI outputs up to 3840x2160 at 30 Hz, with VGA up to 1920x1080 at 60 Hz, and the two run simultaneously so a wall display and a local monitor can both be driven. Multi-view display is 1 or 4 channels. Synchronous playback covers all four channels, with a decoding capability TP-Link publishes as 2-ch at 8MP or 4-ch at 4MP. Playback controls include instant, regular, tag and event playback, frame stepping, digital zoom, clip export and recording lock.

ONVIF, VIGI App and VIGI Security Manager

Management runs from the local GUI, a web browser (Chrome 57+, Firefox 52+, Edge 91+), the VIGI app on Android and iOS, or the VIGI Security Manager desktop application. Interoperability is via ONVIF and CGI, so third-party cameras can be added — though TP-Link notes plainly that some features may operate sub-optimally and recommends VIGI cameras for best performance.

Ideal For

Singapore shophouses, clinics, small retail units, warehouses and offices running four cameras, and installers who want PoE switching, recording and analytics in one box with no per-camera licence. Supplied by SourceIT with local Singapore warranty, GST invoice and project pricing on request.
