The Ernitec Cygnus 4 channel PoE NVR supports up to four IP camera channels with live view and recording at resolutions up to 3840x2160 (12MP). The recorder includes four PoE ports, one RJ45 10/100 Mbps network interface, HDMI and VGA outputs, and a single SATA bay for a hard disk up to 12 TB. The NVR performs intelligent analysis including intrusion detection with accurate identification of vehicles and humans, and supports smart search, playback and cloud firmware upgrades.

Advantages

This NVR provides high-resolution recording and live monitoring for small surveillance installations while supplying power over Ethernet to connected cameras. Built-in smart analysis reduces review time by distinguishing human and vehicle intrusion events. With support for up to 12 TB SATA storage, multiple video outputs and three USB 2.0 ports, the unit is suitable for local archive, playback and peripheral connectivity.

Suitable for

• Small to medium CCTV systems with up to 4 IP cameras
• Office, retail or small warehouse surveillance
• Locations requiring vehicle and human intrusion detection
• Setups that need PoE to power cameras directly from the recorder

How to use

Install the NVR in a dry, ventilated location and connect it to a monitor using HDMI or VGA. Insert a SATA hard drive (up to 12 TB) before initial setup if local recording is required. Connect IP cameras to the four PoE ports to provide both data and power, or connect cameras via the RJ45 network interface if using an external PoE switch. Use the on-screen menu or the manufacturer software to add cameras, configure recording schedules, enable intelligent intrusion detection, and set up network access and cloud upgrade options.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use a compatible surveillance-grade SATA HDD and keep firmware up to date via the cloud upgrade feature. Place the NVR on a stable surface with adequate ventilation and ensure connected cameras are within the PoE power budget. Regularly review smart search results to fine-tune detection zones and reduce false alarms.
