Ajax Superior NVR H2DAI16PAC (16-ch) - 16-Channel AI-Enabled NVR with 16× PoE

Ajax Superior NVR H2DAI16PAC (16-ch)

Ajax Superior NVR H2DAI16PAC is a professional 16-channel IP network video recorder that combines high-quality video surveillance, AI-powered video analytics, built-in PoE and the Ajax security system ecosystem.

The NVR supports up to 16 IP cameras and records video at up to 12 MP resolution. The built-in 16 PoE ports let you connect and power up to 16 cameras directly from the NVR, reducing the need for additional PoE switches and cabling. The IEEE 802.3af/at PoE standards deliver up to 25 W per port, with a total PoE budget of up to 200 W.

AI-powered video analytics

Superior NVR H2DAI16PAC supports AI-based object detection. The system can distinguish people, vehicles and animals/pets, and also detect motion and line crossing.

This helps reduce false alarms and makes video surveillance more practical – the operator can focus on the events that really matter. AI analytics can also be used with third-party cameras, provided they support the required ONVIF/RTSP functionality.

16 IP cameras in one system

The NVR supports up to 16 video channels and is compatible with both Ajax cameras and IP cameras from other manufacturers.

For integrating third-party devices, ONVIF Profile S/T/M and RTSP are supported. This means the NVR can also be used when upgrading an existing video system, without having to replace all cameras at once.

16 PoE ports – connect a camera with a single cable

The built-in 16 × PoE ports deliver both data and power to the camera over the same Ethernet cable.

PoE power:

• up to 25 W per port
• up to 200 W total PoE budget
• IEEE 802.3af/at
• 16 × PoE ports

This simplifies installation and is particularly well suited to small and medium-sized sites where the network infrastructure needs to be kept as compact as possible.

Up to 48 TB of storage

The NVR has two SATA III drive bays, each supporting an HDD of up to 24 TB. The maximum total capacity can therefore be up to 48 TB.

The drives support hot-swap, allowing you to service the storage and replace drives without interrupting the operation of the whole system. HDDs are not included in the standard package.

H.265 and H.264 video compression

The NVR supports H.265 and H.264 video codecs and Ajax JetSparrow technology. More efficient video compression helps reduce storage and network bandwidth requirements while maintaining high video quality.

4K HDMI output

The built-in HDMI output supports resolutions up to 3840 × 2160 pixels (4K UHD).

The NVR can be connected directly to a monitor or display for on-site live viewing, playback of recordings and system management.

Ajax VMS and remote management

The NVR is part of the Ajax video system and can be managed via the Ajax apps. The integrated video management system lets you view live video, recordings and events, and use video analytics features.

The Ajax system also lets you link video surveillance with security system events. For example, an alarm from an Ajax detector can bring up the video feed from the corresponding camera, allowing the operator to quickly verify the event visually.

A professional solution for 24/7 video surveillance

The NVR is designed for continuous professional use and is suitable, for example, for:

• video surveillance of private houses and residential complexes
• office buildings
• shops and retail spaces
• warehouses and logistics centres
• industrial sites
• car parks
• commercial properties
• upgrading existing CCTV systems

Rack-mount capability and a 1U height allow the device to be installed in a server cabinet or security system control room.
