It’s a smart solution for businesses that want a powerful system without the headache of complex installation.
How the 16-Channel NVR Records and Stores Your Footage
Each Camius 5MP PoE camera captures clear 2K video at 2880×1620 resolution and 30 frames per second. The built-in microphone records sound, and the 3.6mm lens provides a wide 91° diagonal view. These cameras offer up to 100 feet of night vision and come in a durable metal housing built for tough outdoor conditions.
H.265 Compression Cuts Storage Use by Up to 50 Percent
Camius 16 Channel NVR 8 camera system uses advanced video compression formats—H.264, H.265, and H.265+—to keep video quality high while reducing file size. With up to 320 Mbps recording bandwidth, you get smooth ultra and super HD video during live view and playback. This means more days of footage stored on your hard drive without needing extra space or losing important video clips
16-Channel NVR with 320 Mbps Bandwidth and 4K HDMI Output
Camius 4K 16 channel NVR camera system is built for businesses that need reliable, high-quality video and audio.

You can match the display resolution during setup, and the NVR will auto-adjust to your monitor for a clear and stable video view every time.
Customizable Camera Image Settings and Detection Zones
Camius 2K IP cameras have highly customizable image settings, which you can control directly in the NVR. You can select the best IR settings, including the IR cut mode, IR cut delay, IR LED way, and even the level of IR LED lights (low beam light). In addition, you can also control the camera’s view using the Lens Flip, Angle Flip, selecting Corridor mode, enabling WDR (wide dynamic range), and even more. You can save default settings by clicking on the ‘Default‘ tab.
Camius 5MP IP cameras provide a 91-degree view.
AI Detection Features for These 8 Outdoor Security Cameras
Camius PoE cameras can record super HD 2K videos, which contain 2.5 times more pixels than an HD 1080p security camera. In contrast to the 1920 × 1080 resolution, which has just over 2,000,000 pixels, this PoE security camera system can record at 2880 x 1620 pixels. The additional pixels the security camera captures provide more detailed images when zoomed in.

Frequently Asked Questions About This 8-Camera Outdoor Surveillance System
What is a PoE Camera System?
A PoE (Power over Ethernet) camera system uses a single Ethernet cable to deliver both power and data to security cameras. Unlike older systems that require separate cables for power and video, PoE makes installation simpler and faster by reducing wiring and equipment. Camius PoE camera systems connect directly to a Network Video Recorder (NVR), allowing easy setup and reliable monitoring. This technology helps homes and businesses save time and costs while maintaining a clean, efficient security setup.
What is an NVR Security System?
An NVR (Network Video Recorder) security system uses digital IP cameras that process and encode video directly at the camera before sending it to the recorder. Unlike DVR systems that rely on analog cameras and coaxial cables, NVRs work with Internet Protocol (IP) cameras, which can be connected via Ethernet cables or wirelessly. This setup allows for higher video quality, easier installation, and flexible placement of cameras. Camius NVR security systems offer reliable, scalable solutions with remote viewing and advanced features, making them ideal for modern homes and businesses.
What is a 16 Channel Camera System?
A 16-channel camera system lets you connect and monitor up to 16 security cameras simultaneously. This setup provides full coverage for large homes, businesses, or properties, keeping every entrance and corner under surveillance 24/7. Systems like those from Camius work with or without an internet connection, offering reliable local recording, AI detection that includes human, vehicle, sound, perimeter intrusion, and license plate detection. If you connect the NVR to your router with the Internet, then you can also have free remote access, so you can watch live or recorded video anytime, anywhere. It’s a flexible and powerful security solution for comprehensive protection.
Can I Expand This System Beyond 8 Cameras?
Yes, this system expands to 16 cameras without replacing the NVR. The IPVAULT2320PR is a 16-channel NVR with 16 built-in PoE ports. This package ships with 8 cameras connected and 8 ports open. You add any compatible Camius PoE IP camera to an open port at any time. The NVR auto-assigns an IP address to each new camera and starts recording immediately. Storage is expandable up to 42TB to support the additional cameras and longer recording retention.
Does This Outdoor Surveillance System Require a Monthly Fee?
No, this system has no monthly fees of any kind. All video is stored locally on the NVR’s hard drive. AI detection, push notifications, remote access through the Camius View app, and the free VMS software for Windows and Mac are all included at no ongoing cost. There is no cloud subscription required. Optional cloud backup to your own Dropbox or Google Drive account is supported if you choose to use it, but it is not required for the system to function.
What AI Detection Does This 8-Camera System Support?
This system supports six AI detection modes: human and vehicle detection, perimeter intrusion detection, line crossing detection, cross counting, license plate detection, and sound detection. Each mode is configurable per camera with custom detection zones so alerts focus on specific areas such as a driveway, entrance, or loading dock. When a detection event occurs, the NVR tags the recording and sends a push notification to the Camius View app or an email alert. These modes reduce false alerts caused by wind, shadows, and animals.
How Long Does a 16-Channel NVR with 4TB Store Footage?
Recording duration depends on three variables: the number of cameras recording simultaneously, the resolution and frame rate selected, and whether you use continuous or motion-triggered recording. At 5MP 2K resolution with H.265 compression across 8 cameras in continuous recording mode, a 4TB drive stores approximately 20 to 30 days of footage. Switching to motion-triggered recording extends that duration significantly because the drive only writes when movement is detected. The NVR includes a built-in storage calculator in its settings menu where you enter your camera count, resolution, and recording mode to get an exact estimate for your configuration. Upgrading to 8TB or 16TB storage doubles or quadruples that retention time.
