A Smarter Way to Record Your Security Cameras

The Genie WNVR285 is an 8-channel Network Video Recorder (NVR) designed to provide reliable recording and management for IP CCTV security cameras. With support for up to 5MP recording resolution on every channel, it gives you the detail you need to monitor your property with greater clarity.

8 Channels. More Coverage.

With 8 IP video inputs, the WNVR285 can manage up to eight compatible IP camera streams. This makes it suitable for multi-camera CCTV installations where you want several areas monitored from a single recorder.

The recorder supports up to 5MP real-time recording on every channel, helping preserve important image detail across your surveillance system.

High-Quality Video, Efficient Storage

Supporting both H.265 and H.264 video compression, the WNVR285 is designed to efficiently manage recorded video while maintaining image quality.

Its dual-stream technology helps balance recording quality with network bandwidth, making it easier to manage video across local and remote viewing environments.

Designed for Flexible Storage

The WNVR285 features two SATA hard drive bays, supporting drives of up to 6TB per drive, for a maximum supported storage capacity of 12TB.

This provides the flexibility to configure your storage according to the size and recording requirements of your CCTV installation.

Record the Way You Need

Multiple recording modes give you control over how your surveillance footage is captured. The WNVR285 supports manual, scheduled, motion and sensor-based recording through compatible IP camera alarm functions.

View More, From One Screen

The WNVR285 supports simultaneous 8-channel playback, allowing recorded footage from multiple cameras to be reviewed together. Video output is provided through HDMI and VGA, with HDMI supporting output of up to 4K.
