QNAP Viostor VS-8024U-RP Network Video Recorder with 24 channels and up to 16TB storage, rack mount

This product has now been discontinued and replaced by the QNAP VioStor VS-8124U-RP PRO+.

The QNAP VS-8024U-RP VioStor NVR (Network Video Recorder) is a rack-mountable recording and monitoring solution for up to 24 IP cameras, providing up to 16TB of storage. Expansion is easy - additional QNAP servers can be connected locally or via the Internet, providing monitoring and playback for up to 120 cameras.

Designed for continuous operation with no down time, the QNAP VS-8024U-RP has 8 hot-swappable drive bays. Hard drives can be replaced during operation. A redundant power supply will kick in if the primary supply fails. Advanced RAID configurations ensure your data is safe from hard drive failure and RAID level and capacity can be upgraded without data loss.

The QNAP VS-8024U-RP is an energy-efficient NVR solution. It uses only a quarter of the power required by an equivalent PC-based NVR solution and with its embedded Linux system it is less vulnerable to viruses and malware attacks. QNAP NVR servers are compatible with a wide variety of IP cameras from leading manufacturers.
