Uniview NVR301-04S3-P4 4-Channel NVR with 4 PoE Ports

The Uniview NVR301-04S3-P4 is an Easy Series recorder for 4 IP cameras, with 4 built-in PoE ports sharing a 54W budget. It fits small villas, shops and offices that want a simple CCTV setup without a separate PoE switch.

====

The Uniview NVR301-04S3-P4 is the shortest path from four IP cameras to a working recording system. Its four built-in PoE ports carry video and power over a single network cable per camera, so there is no separate switch to buy and no power adapter at each camera position. It suits a small villa, a shop, a clinic or an office that needs to cover the entrance, the cash counter and the parking area.

Uniview NVR301-04S3-P4 key specs

This recorder belongs to the Uniview Easy Series (also sold under the UNV name), the line aimed at homes and small retail. The numbers that matter:

• 4 IP channels with 64Mbps incoming and 48Mbps outgoing bandwidth.
• Recording at up to 8MP per camera.
• One SATA bay for a hard drive.
• 4K HDMI and 1080p VGA outputs working at the same time.
• Up to 128 remote users.

Four PoE ports with a 54W budget

Each port delivers up to 30W, and the four ports share a 54W total budget under IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at. That covers typical dome and bullet cameras. If you plan to add a PTZ or a camera with strong illuminators, check its power draw so the total stays under 54W. The ports run at 10/100Mbps, which is plenty for a camera stream.

The unit runs from an external 48V DC, 1.35A adapter and draws 9W or less without a hard drive.

Recording, playback and display

Ultra 265, H.265 and H.264 are all supported. The newer codecs shrink file sizes, so the same drive holds more days of footage. On screen you can view one camera full size or all four in a grid, and play back all four channels together when reviewing an incident. Decoding tops out at one 4K stream at 30fps or four 4MP or 5MP streams at 25fps.

Smart detection runs on the camera side: the recorder accepts face detection, SIP perimeter protection and UMD motion events from up to 4 channels, as long as the cameras support them.

Where it fits in Saudi Arabia

• Single-storey villas and apartments: front door, courtyard and car park.
• Grocery stores and small shops: one camera on the till, one on the door.
• Clinics and small offices: reception, corridor and records room.
• Istirahas: gate and outdoor seating, with footage kept on site.

Camera compatibility and remote access

It works with Uniview IP cameras and with third-party cameras that conform to ONVIF Profile S, G and T. P2P and UPnP support make remote viewing easier to set up, and firmware can be updated from the cloud. One RCA audio output lets you listen to cameras with built-in microphones through an external speaker.

NVR301-04S3-P4 or NVR301-08S3-P8?

Both share the same 260 × 240 × 46 mm chassis, and the same 64Mbps bandwidth. The NVR301-08S3-P8 doubles the channels and PoE ports to 8, raises the PoE budget to 75W, supports up to a 9-way split screen and runs on a 52V adapter. Pick the 4-channel model for a fixed four-camera job, and the 8-channel model if you expect to add cameras later.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a PoE switch with the NVR301-04S3-P4?

No. It has 4 built-in PoE ports that power four cameras directly, up to 30W per port and 54W in total.

Does it work with other camera brands?

Yes, with cameras that conform to ONVIF Profile S, G and T. Face detection, SIP and UMD events come from cameras that support those analytics.
