Summary
The Serage SR5004D is a hybrid digital video recorder (DVR) built for installers who need to mix analogue and IP cameras on a single job without compromising on channel count or image quality.
View full overview Show less
Because it accepts TVI, AHD, CVI and standard analogue cameras alongside two IP channels, you can quote for mixed camera estates, extend an existing coax-based system with IP cameras, or migrate a site gradually without ripping out cabling. That flexibility widens the jobs you can take on and cuts the time spent specifying separate recorders for separate camera types.
Recording tops out at 4K with H.265 compression to keep storage demands down, and onboard AI analytics – perimeter intrusion detection (PID), line crossing detection (LCD) and human and vehicle detection (PD&VD) – add a layer of smart alerting without needing a separate video management system (VMS). The unit is also NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) compliant, which matters if you’re bidding for government or enterprise contracts with procurement restrictions.
Features
- Hybrid camera support – mix TVI, AHD, CVI, analogue and IP cameras on one recorder
- Up to 6 total channels – 4 analogue plus 2 IP for flexible system sizing
- Onboard AI analytics – perimeter intrusion, line crossing and human/vehicle detection without extra hardware
- 4ch synchronous playback – review multiple channels together for faster incident review
- Web-based management and CMS – manage the recorder remotely from a browser
- Mobile app support – iOS and Android apps with P2P for quick remote access setup
- 4 alarm in / 1 out – integrate with external sensors and alarm devices
- 1 SATA HDD bay, up to 8TB – covers most retention requirements on a single drive
- Fanless construction – quiet operation suited to offices and residential installs
- Dual USB 2.0 ports – one front, one rear, for mouse control and backup/upgrade
FAQ
Can I mix analogue and IP cameras on the same recorder?
Yes, the SR5004D supports TVI, AHD, CVI and standard analogue cameras across its 4 BNC inputs, plus 2 additional IP channels, giving up to 6 camera channels in total. Note that dropping one analogue channel frees up 6Mbps of bandwidth for extra digital channel capacity, so plan your channel mix against the 48Mbps total budget before quoting.
What resolution can I expect per channel?
Analogue channels record at up to 8MP at 7fps, or lower resolutions at higher frame rates (for example 1080P at 25/30fps depending on PAL/NTSC), while a single IP channel can preview at up to 4K 30fps. Match camera choice to the frame rate you actually need for the site, since higher resolution analogue channels record at reduced frame rates.
How much storage will it take, and does it come with a hard disk?
The unit features a single SATA HDD bay supporting drives up to 8TB. Hard drives are specified and supplied separately, allowing you to match the storage capacity to your client’s specific retention requirements.
Is remote viewing supported, and how do I set it up?
Yes, the SR5004D works with the Serage mobile app on iOS and Android via P2P, so you don’t need to manually configure port forwarding for basic remote access. For browser-based access, it supports IE10/11, Safari, Firefox, Chrome and Edge.
Is this suitable for a government or enterprise install with procurement restrictions?
The SR5004D is listed as NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) compliant, which is relevant for public sector or enterprise tenders with restricted vendor lists. Confirm the specific compliance requirements of the tender against this before submitting a quote.
What happens if I forget the admin password on site?
The unit has a password reset function alongside a physical factory reset button (hold for 10 seconds) on the rear panel, giving you a fallback if a client’s credentials go missing.
