Oculur XNR16-2 16 Channel Network Video Recorder, H.264+ NVR up to 12TB Storage Support

A good set for a medium security system. The NVR helps to keep installation cost low. The power over Ethernet only requires the laying of a single cable per camera. It makes for a way easier to manage cable system. Even though it is just glanced over single cable installation makes maintenance easier. Singling out a fault is less time consuming and replacement cables can be placed faster. Sixteen camera support makes it suitable for a medium sized security system. The one complaint is the storage space, 6 TB feels like you’ll be looking for a new hard drive pretty soon and the old one will be labeled and placed into a drawer.

I have had the XNR for a few months now and it is working great. One thing I don’t like the audio recording. It feels like there is some background static. I didn’t come across this problem with my previous recorder. Other than that a good investment.

Works like a charm but is too big in size. The good thing about the recorder that it won’t give you any reason to complain. The amount of space the recorder covers makes it hard to place it in the shelf I have. Going for a compact recorder meant losing camera ports.

What more can I ask for. The recorder works great with high quality cameras and the PoE switch removes the need for power cables. The worst part of power cables is having to give up power sockets. Not to mention it makes for a less secure system. Two thumbs up.

I don’t like the interaction feel of the device. I feel it lacks that comfort while using the operation buttons on the face. Every time I press the menu or play button it feels like a little too much force will make the recorder slide backwards. Hasn’t happened yet but the anticipation is there.

Besides two let downs all is good. I don’t like the fact that there are two HDD slots. A single slot can do the same job. The other would be the small storage space. Filling up one terabyte of storage is not an easy task but having a large storage lets you worry about something else. Out of the sixteen camera ports we have twelve in operation. The quality of cable we had installed did hinder with the operation. The camera furthest from the camera needed replacement even though there were no signs of damage. Keep that in mind while setting up.
