Original Series NVR

The Ajax Original Series NVR is a streamlined, reliable network video recorder designed to integrate third‑party ONVIF IP cameras into the Ajax video management ecosystem. Available in 8‑channel and 16‑channel models, the Original Series delivers secure, low‑latency video streaming, smooth archive navigation, and dependable performance for residential and commercial environments.

The platform uses JetSparrow encrypted peer‑to‑peer streaming to provide instant live view and responsive archive playback, while Ajax Cloud manages secure signalling and system events. With support for 4K video at 25/30 fps, the NVR is well‑suited for modern high‑resolution surveillance deployments. A single 3.5" SATA HDD up to 16 TB provides long‑term storage capacity in a compact, NDAA‑compliant design.

Installation is fast and predictable with SmartBracket mounting, QR onboarding, and automatic discovery of cameras on the local network. The NVR integrates cleanly into Ajax VMS, enabling unified monitoring, video scenarios, and seamless transitions between events and recorded footage.

How It Works

The Original Series NVR receives video streams from ONVIF‑compatible IP cameras and integrates them into the Ajax VMS environment. JetSparrow technology provides encrypted, low‑latency peer‑to‑peer streaming, ensuring smooth live view and rapid archive navigation.

TLS and mTLS encrypted signalling secure communication between the NVR and Ajax Cloud, while owner‑only access controls protect stored media. Archive browsing is efficient, with calendar search, filtering, and quick export of video clips.

A single SATA HDD bay supports up to 16 TB of storage, making the NVR suitable for long‑term recording in homes, small businesses, and multi‑camera environments.
