This range covers 8-channel recorders: dedicated NVRs (network video recorders, for IP cameras), dedicated DVRs (digital video recorders, for analogue cameras), and hybrid or Penta-brid models that accept a mix of camera types on one recorder.

Channel count sets the maximum number of camera inputs. Most recorders here are 8-channel; the Longse NVR3109S1P8 is 9-channel with 8 PoE (Power over Ethernet) ports, so read the spec sheet rather than assuming from the name alone.

How to choose

Match the recorder to your cameras. IP cameras need an NVR or hybrid unit with enough PoE ports to power them over the network cable — models like the Hikvision 8-ch 8 PoE 8K NVR, the HiLook NVR-108H-D/8P and the HiLook Mini 1U 8 PoE NVR all offer 8 PoE ports.

Analogue cameras need a DVR or hybrid recorder with BNC inputs. The Hikvision 8-ch 5MP and 8-ch 8MP 1U H.265 AcuSense DVRs, the DVR-8CH-HYL8MP hybrid DVR, and the Prolux 4MP AcuSense DVR all fall here.

For mixed systems, Penta-brid and hybrid models such as the Dahua XVR5108H-4KL-X-8P, the PROLUX PXD-5108HS-4K/X1, and the ProLux PXD-5208AN-4KL-X/8P (with PoC, Power over Coax, for analogue cameras) give flexibility if you're combining old and new cameras. Resolution support (4MP, 5MP, 8MP, 4K) should match or exceed your camera's output, and storage capacity (Longse supports up to 8TB) should suit how long you need footage retained.

8CH — frequently asked questions

What does 8CH mean on a recorder?

It refers to the number of camera channels the recorder supports. Most recorders in this range are 8-channel, though the Longse NVR3109S1P8 is actually 9-channel with 8 PoE ports, so check the exact spec rather than the model name alone.

Can I use analogue cameras with recorders in this range?

Yes. Several models here are DVRs or hybrid recorders with BNC inputs for analogue cameras, including the Hikvision 8-ch 5MP and 8MP AcuSense DVRs and the Prolux 4MP AcuSense DVR.
