TP-Link VIGI NVR1004H-4P | 4K PoE+ Network Video Recorder

The TP-Link VIGI 4 Channel PoE+ Network Video Recorder delivers professional-grade surveillance for small businesses, combining 4K video output with simplified PoE+ camera deployment. This 4-channel NVR supports up to 10TB of continuous recording, making it ideal for retail stores, warehouses, restaurants, and financial institutions that need reliable 24/7 security monitoring.

Key Specifications

4K Clarity from Every Angle

The VIGI NVR1004H-4P captures sharp 4K footage through its 16MP decoding capacity, ensuring you never miss critical details. Whether monitoring customer interactions in a retail space or tracking inventory movement in a warehouse, the 4K HDMI output delivers crystal-clear imagery to your display. With support for resolutions up to 3840×2160 at 30fps, you’ll capture smooth, detailed footage that stands up to scrutiny when reviewing incidents.

Simplified Installation with PoE+ Technology

Four dedicated 10/100Mbps PoE+ ports eliminate the need for separate power adapters and reduce cable clutter. Each port supports up to 30W, providing sufficient power for most IP cameras while transmitting data through a single Ethernet cable. This plug-and-play approach means you can position cameras anywhere within network reach without worrying about nearby power outlets, significantly reducing installation time and costs for your surveillance system.

4-Channel Simultaneous Playback for Faster Review

When incidents occur, time matters. The NVR’s 4-channel simultaneous playback lets you monitor feeds from up to four cameras at once, with adjustable replay speeds and timeline navigation. Instead of switching between camera views, you can watch all angles concurrently, making it significantly faster to locate specific events or verify sequences of actions. This feature proves invaluable during investigations or when reviewing high-traffic periods.

Smart Compression Saves Storage and Bandwidth

Advanced H.264, H.265, and H.265+ video formats compress footage without compromising quality, reducing storage requirements and network load. You’ll store more footage on your 10TB drive while using less bandwidth during transmission, which helps maintain smooth performance even when multiple cameras are recording simultaneously. The efficient compression also reduces monitoring costs over time by extending storage life between upgrades.

ONVIF Compatibility Expands Your Options

ONVIF compliance means the VIGI NVR works seamlessly with cameras from TP-Link and other leading brands. You’re not locked into a single manufacturer’s ecosystem, giving you flexibility to mix and match cameras based on your specific needs or budget. This barrier-free compatibility ensures your surveillance system can grow and adapt as your requirements change, without forcing costly equipment replacements.
