Geovision GV-RNVR3240-N Network Video Recorder

Geovision GV-RNVR3240-N Network Video Recorder

Overview

The Geovision GV-RNVR3240-N is a PoE-powered network video recorder engineered to centralize recording for multi-camera IP surveillance deployments. It accepts ONVIF-compliant camera streams up to 8MP resolution and compresses video using H.265 and H.264 codecs, reducing storage and bandwidth overhead in installations where efficient network utilization is non-negotiable. The recorder operates via standard 802.3af PoE, eliminating the need for dedicated AC power infrastructure—a practical advantage for distributed or retrofit deployments where power runs are already constrained. This unit is designed for security integrators and IT managers building multi-site or centralized recording systems where flexible codec support and straightforward IP integration matter.

Compatibility

The GV-RNVR3240-N operates within standard ONVIF-compliant IP surveillance ecosystems. It integrates with any ONVIF Profile S or Profile T-compliant IP camera, including current-generation Geovision camera lines, Axis, Hikvision, Hanwha, and third-party ONVIF-enabled models. As a network-attached recorder, it functions as a dedicated NVR node—no proprietary DVR protocols required. It supports multi-camera aggregation, centralizing recording, playback, and export functions for comprehensive site monitoring across diverse camera manufacturers.

Installation Notes

Wire the recorder to a PoE-enabled network switch or injector capable of delivering 802.3af power (minimum 13W per port recommended to account for cable loss and headroom). Connect via Gigabit Ethernet for stable multi-stream throughput. The unit is designed for stationary indoor mounting in network closets or control rooms. Ensure adequate ventilation and UPS backup on the PoE switch if uptime is critical—loss of network power stops recording immediately.
