Choose a four-, eight-, or 16-channel NVR based on the number of cameras in the installation, while allowing for any planned additions. Because each NVR supports only its designated channel count and has a corresponding number of built-in Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports, select a channel count that meets the camera count and PoE power requirements.

Compare the NVR’s channel count and built-in Power over Ethernet (PoE) budget with the number of cameras and their power requirements, then confirm support for the cameras’ resolution, including models up to 12MP. Review the included hard drive capacity, expansion options, and expected recording needs, since available configurations support designated channel counts and storage capacities up to 10TB.

ONVIF conformance helps Control4 ClareVision NVRs work with a broader selection of compatible network cameras, giving integrators more flexibility when designing or upgrading a surveillance system. Confirm the camera’s supported ONVIF features and the NVR’s designated channel count before installation, since conformance does not mean that every camera feature will be available.

Deployments require the latest Clare Vision Pro app, as these NVRs do not support the current Clare Vision app. Ovr C support provides remote access for device reboots, firmware updates, health monitoring, and Web Connect access to the local NVR interface.
