Serage 4 Channel PoE 4K NVR
Summary
The Serage SR8004NP is a 4-channel network video recorder with 4 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) across all channels, the unit delivers high-definition recording with H.265+ compression to minimise storage usage.
Despite its compact form factor, the SR8004NP includes Serage’s full AI analytics suite, covering facial recognition, automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), people counting, crowd density analysis, and pedestrian and vehicle detection. This makes it a capable solution for small businesses, retail units, and residential or light commercial installations where intelligent detection is a requirement.
The SR8004NP is fully NDAA-compliant, confirming its suitability for government, enterprise, and publicly funded projects. Its 300 × 227 × 53mm chassis 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 SR8004NP support?
The SR8004NP supports up to 4 IP cameras simultaneously. All 4 cameras can be connected directly via the unit’s built-in PoE ports, eliminating the need for a separate PoE switch.
What is the maximum recording resolution?
The SR8004NP records at resolutions up to 8MP (4K) across all 4 channels, and is compatible with IP cameras from 720p through to 8MP.
What AI detection features are available?
The SR8004NP 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 SR8004NP NDAA-compliant?
Yes. The SR8004NP 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 SR8004NP 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.
