Power over Ethernet (PoE) Simplicity

Camius’ 8 and 16 Channel NVR recorders come equipped with built-in Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports, utilizing RJ-45 connections. These ports serve a dual purpose: they provide power to IP PoE cameras and record video data through a single CAT5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable, eliminating clutter and reducing installation complexity. Remarkably, this system can transmit data up to an impressive 328 feet, ensuring seamless surveillance even over considerable distances.

Plug-and-Play Installation for Hassle-Free Setup

One of the standout features of Camius NVR security systems is their plug-and-play installation setup. Designed with user-friendliness in mind, this feature ensures that even those without technical expertise can set up and operate the system with ease. Say goodbye to the headaches of complex configurations and embrace a straightforward, efficient process.

How to add IP cameras to PoE NVR

Once you connect the Camius PoE cameras to the Camius PoE ports, the camera will begin playing instantly. If you have Camius NVRs equipped with built-in PoE, simply plug the Camius wired PoE IP cameras into any PoE port, and they will automatically appear on the right side of the Start Wizard. A green status indicates a successful connection, while a grey status may indicate a password or network parameters mismatch.

Recording Schedules and Motion Detection Zones

You adjust each IP camera’s motion detection zone and sensitivity level to reduce false alerts. For setup instructions, see how to configure motion detection zones on a Camius NVR.

4K Ultrahigh Definition Output and Gigabit WAN Port

When it comes to video quality, Camius leaves no room for compromise. The NVRs support 4K Ultrahigh Definition output, ensuring crystal-clear images and videos. Additionally, the inclusion of a Gigabit WAN port guarantees maximum bandwidth, enabling the transmission of high-quality content with minimal latency. These cutting-edge features contribute to an immersive and detailed surveillance experience.

Expandable Capabilities with 32 Channel NVR

Camius offers the 32 Channel NVR for large-scale security demands, which scales up to accommodate even the most extensive surveillance setups. This advanced NVR allows you to add, view, manage, and record up to 32 HD IP cameras simultaneously. Moreover, the recorder provides an impressive storage capacity, accommodating up to 8 SATA hard drives and an external hard drive option. With Camius, you can rest assured that your surveillance system can store months’ worth of valuable footage.

Remote Access

In today’s fast-paced world, remote access to your security system is a must. Camius addresses this need by providing the Camius View App and advanced Video Management Software (VMS).

Camius NVR systems use an on-screen menu controlled by a mouse or the front panel buttons with no separate PC required for daily operation. The startup wizard runs at first boot and covers every setup step from camera detection to motion zone configuration. The Camius View App mirrors the same simple interface on iOS and Android for remote viewing and alert management.

No. Camius NVR systems record to a local hard drive inside the recorder with no monthly storage fees. The Camius View App, and desktop VMS software connect to your NVR over your home or business network at no extra cost. Manage your NVR using a web browser. You own the system and the footage. No cloud account required for local recording or playback.

Camius NVR systems support 8, 16, or 32 cameras depending on the model you choose. The 8-channel NVR connects up to 8 IP cameras. The 16-channel NVR connects up to 16 IP cameras. The 32-channel NVR connects up to 32 IP cameras. Each IP camera connects over a single CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable through the built-in PoE ports on the recorder.

Camius PoE NVR systems support cable runs up to 328 feet (100 meters) per camera using CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable, which is the maximum distance defined by the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard (Source: IEEE 802.3af). Cable runs longer than 328 feet require a PoE extender or a PoE switch placed between the camera and the recorder. One cable carries both power and video data per camera with no separate power adapter needed.

Camius NVR systems detect people, vehicles, perimeter intrusions, line crossings, and abnormal sounds such as breaking glass or a triggered alarm. The system sends an alert to your phone for each event type you enable per camera. You set detection rules per camera so each alert ties to a confirmed event on your property, not general motion from animals or wind. For setup instructions, see how to activate motion detection on a Camius NVR.

An NVR records video from IP cameras that connect over Ethernet cables. A DVR records video from analog cameras that connect over coaxial BNC cables. Camius NVR systems use PoE Ethernet connections and record in 4K with AI detection. Camius DVR systems support analog BNC cameras and also accept IP cameras on hybrid models for properties that mix older and newer cameras. See Camius DVR Security Camera Systems for a full comparison.
