Guard Series 16MP UltraHD 32-Channel Network Video Recorder with 4 Hard Drive Bays, 16 PoE Ports, and Intelligent Video Analytics (RQ5-4C32P16B)

The U2-NVRIQ-32 NVR is an excellent option for video surveillance systems with up to 32 security cameras (16 plug-and-play with the integrated PoE switch, and 16 added through the network). Each channel is capable of recording up to 16MP, which means this is a great option for all of your cameras with a resolution of 4K and up. With four hard drive bays capable of recording up to 16TB, you'll have plenty of storage space for all of your surveillance footage.

As part of the IQ NVR series, this recorder comes with an intelligent analyzer for upgraded artificial intelligence capabilities. Unlike standard NVRs, this NVR is capable of processing intelligent events on the NVR side, which means you can connect third party ONVIF cameras to your NVR and still have access to the suite of deep learning AI algorithms. The intelligent analyzer has three functions.

Facial Recognition

Store a library of face snapshots in your NVR and set up alerts anytime the NVR does or doesn't recognize someone from your lists. This is a great way to white list or black list your property, or simply display a monitor to greet employees as they walk into work.

This NVR can have up to 32 channels with facial recognition as long as all 32 channels are native Uniview cameras. You can only connect up to four third party cameras to use with facial recognition, since third party cameras take more processing power.

Smart Intrusion Prevention (SIP) Events

This is the traditional intelligent events that we're used to seeing on Uniview cameras: line crossing, intrusion detection, area entrance, and area exit. The difference is, this now works on the NVR side and not just the camera side. This has two benefits.

Like we've already mentioned, you can connect 3rd party cameras to your Uniview NVR and still have access to these intelligent events. Whether you have an R-Series camera, a Hikvision camera, or anything else that supports the ONVIF protocol, you can now have Uniview's intelligent events working seamlessly across all your cameras. This even works for Uniarch cameras, which don't come with any AI events.

But you can also use this with native Uniview cameras to expand their functionality. Have you ever wished you could enable both intrusion detection and people counting at the same time? With intelligent events working on the camera's side, this isn't possible. You can't have both SIP events and other events active at the same time. At least you couldn't in the past! But with Uniview' IQ NVR, you can enable people crossing or another event on the camera side and still have SIP events working on the NVR side. It's a win-win!

You can enable SIP events on up to eight channels on this NVR.
