Original Series NVR DC

The Ajax Original Series NVR DC is a low‑voltage network video recorder designed for environments where 9–16 V DC power is required. Available in 8‑channel and 16‑channel models, the NVR DC delivers secure, low‑latency video streaming, smooth archive navigation, and dependable performance while maintaining full compatibility with third‑party ONVIF IP cameras.

JetSparrow encrypted peer‑to‑peer streaming provides 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 and a single 3.5" SATA HDD up to 16 TB, the NVR DC offers long‑term recording capacity in a compact, NDAA‑compliant design.

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

How It Works

The NVR DC receives video streams from ONVIF‑compatible IP cameras and integrates them into the Ajax VMS environment. JetSparrow technology ensures encrypted, low‑latency peer‑to‑peer streaming for 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 DC suitable for long‑term recording in low‑voltage installations such as mobile systems, off‑grid sites, and specialised commercial environments.
