High-Capacity NVR for Large Security Systems
The Hikvision DS-96256NXI-S16R is a professional 256-channel network video recorder built for large and demanding surveillance installations. It is suitable for enterprise buildings, industrial sites, transport facilities, infrastructure projects and multi-location security networks.
With support for up to 32MP recording, this Ultra Series NVR can handle high-resolution IP cameras and provide detailed video footage for security monitoring and evidence. Its high channel capacity allows many cameras to be managed from one central recording platform, making it a practical choice for large CCTV deployments.
Advanced AcuSense Surveillance
Hikvision AcuSense technology helps improve alarm management by intelligently identifying human and vehicle activity. This can reduce unnecessary alerts caused by irrelevant movement and make it easier for security teams to focus on important events.
The system is designed for installations where reliable recording, efficient event searching and centralised surveillance management are important.
Large Storage Capacity with RAID
The DS-96256NXI-S16R features 16 HDD bays, providing extensive internal storage for large volumes of surveillance footage. This makes it well suited to systems that require extended video retention.
RAID support provides additional storage management options and can help improve data protection when a suitable RAID configuration is used. The combination of multiple drive bays and RAID capability gives system installers greater flexibility when designing high-capacity surveillance storage.
