TP-Link VIGI NVR1008H 8 Channel Network Video Recorder

TP-Link VIGI 8 Channel Network Video Recorder (VIGI NVR1008H) - 5 Years Local Warranty

The VIGI NVR1008H records eight IP camera channels at up to 8MP over your existing network. It has no PoE ports, so cameras are powered by a separate PoE switch or their own adapters — which is exactly what you want when the cameras are already cabled to a switch and only the recording and viewing layer is missing.

Eight Channels Without a Built-In PoE Switch

A single RJ-45 10/100 Mbps self-adaptive port connects the recorder to the LAN and all eight cameras reach it over that network. For a site that already runs an Omada or other PoE switch, this separates the two jobs cleanly: the switch powers and aggregates the cameras, the NVR records them. It also means camera placement is not limited by the length of a run back to the recorder.

8MP Input and H.265+ on a 10 TB Drive

Incoming bandwidth is 80 Mbps and outgoing is 60 Mbps. Recording covers 8MP through 5MP, 4MP, 3MP, 1080p, UXGA, 720p, VGA and the CIF family in H.265+, H.265, H.264+ or H.264. One SATA bay takes a drive up to 10 TB. H.265+ is the reason a single drive stretches: it cuts bitrate sharply against H.264 at the same picture quality, so an eight-camera site can still hold a useful retention window.

Eight-Channel Playback and 4K Output

HDMI outputs up to 3840x2160 at 30 Hz and VGA up to 1920x1080 at 60 Hz, running simultaneously. Multi-view display covers 1, 4, 6 and 8 channels. Synchronous playback covers all eight, with decoding published as 2-ch at 8MP, 4-ch at 4MP or 8-ch at 2MP at 25 fps, and 4-ch at 3MP or 2-ch at 5MP at 30 fps. Playback includes instant, regular, tag and event modes with frame stepping, digital zoom, clip export and recording lock.

Smart Detection With Human and Vehicle Classification

General alarms cover motion detection, video tampering, line crossing, intrusion, region entering and exiting, object abandoned and removal, vehicle detection and human detection. Anomaly alarms cover video loss, offline and IP conflict, disk exception and login exception. Any of them can trigger recording, a white-light alarm, the buzzer, a log entry or an audible alarm.

ONVIF, VIGI App and VIGI Security Manager

Management runs from the local GUI, a browser (Chrome 57+, Firefox 52+, Edge 91+), the VIGI app on Android and iOS, or VIGI Security Manager on the desktop. Interoperability is ONVIF and CGI. TP-Link states that the recorder works best with VIGI cameras but is compatible with other brands, and that some features may operate sub-optimally on mixed sites.

Ideal For

Singapore offices, schools, warehouses and retail chains that already run PoE switching and want to add eight channels of recording, plus installers replacing an ageing recorder without re-cabling. Supplied by SourceIT with local Singapore warranty, GST invoice and project pricing on request.
