Serage 16 Channel PoE 4K NVR
Summary
The Serage SR8016NP is a 16-channel network video recorder with 16 integrated 802.3at/af PoE ports, enabling direct plug-and-play connection of IP cameras without the need for a separate PoE switch. Supporting resolutions up to 8MP (4K), the unit delivers high-definition recording across all channels with efficient H.265+ compression to minimise storage demands.
AI-driven video analytics are built into the SR8016NP, providing support for facial recognition, automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), people counting, crowd density monitoring, and pedestrian and vehicle detection. These capabilities make the recorder a practical choice for retail, commercial, and public-space applications where intelligent detection is a core requirement alongside continuous recording.
The SR8016NP is NDAA-compliant, confirming its suitability for government, enterprise, and publicly funded projects. Its compact 300 × 302 × 54mm form factor is designed for shelf or rack mounting, and remote access is provided via the Serage AI mobile application for iOS, Android, and Windows, with real-time push notifications for motion and alarm events.

FAQs
How many cameras can the SR8016NP support?
The SR8016NP supports up to 16 IP cameras simultaneously. All 16 cameras can be connected directly via the unit’s built-in PoE ports, eliminating the need for a separate PoE switch in most installations.
What is the maximum recording resolution?
The SR8016NP records at resolutions up to 8MP (4K) across all 16 channels, and is compatible with Serage and third-party IP cameras from 720p through to 8MP.
What AI detection features are available?
The SR8016NP supports facial recognition, automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), people counting, crowd density monitoring, and pedestrian and vehicle detection. Some AI functions require a compatible AI-capable camera to be connected.
Is the SR8016NP NDAA-compliant?
Yes. The SR8016NP is fully compliant with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), confirming it is safe for use by government agencies, enterprises, and organisations receiving federal funding.
How much storage does the SR8016NP support?
The unit has a single SATA hard drive bay supporting drives of up to 10TB. The HDD is not included and must be purchased separately.
Can I view the recorder remotely?
Yes. Remote viewing is available via the Serage AI mobile application, which supports iOS, Android, and Windows. Real-time push notifications can be configured for motion detection and alarm events. Web browser access is also supported across major browsers.
What video outputs does the SR8016NP have?
The recorder provides one HDMI output and one VGA output, both supporting resolutions up to 3840×2160 (4K) via EDID negotiation.
What compression formats are supported?
The SR8016NP supports H.265, H.265+, H.264, and H.264+ compression. H.265+ offers the most efficient storage usage, helping to significantly reduce hard drive consumption compared to older compression standards.
Is rack mounting supported?
The SR8016NP is designed for shelf or rack mounting, though a rack mount shelf or shelving unit is required separately. Its compact 300 × 302 × 54mm chassis makes it well suited to space-constrained installations.
