Speco Technologies H24WHRLN24TB 24-Channel Wall Mount Hybrid Recorder
Overview
The H24WHRLN24TB is a wall-mounted hybrid recorder that consolidates mixed-signal video surveillance onto a single platform. It supports 24 channels split across three input types: 8 dedicated TVI channels, 8 hybrid channels (selectable TVI or IP per channel), and 8 IP channels. The 24TB integrated storage handles continuous or event-driven recording across all inputs, eliminating the need for separate analog and IP recorder infrastructure in retrofit or expansion scenarios. This form factor is built for control rooms and NOCs where rack or floor space is constrained but recording density matters—wall mounting keeps the unit within arms reach for local troubleshooting while keeping the recording backbone off the critical path.
Compatibility
The H24WHRLN24TB works with TVI (HD over coaxial cable) camera systems and IP-based cameras running ONVIF-compatible protocols. Integrators deploying hybrid surveillance networks—common in facilities transitioning from analog to IP or scaling incrementally—can run legacy TVI cameras alongside new IP deployments without parallel recorders. The unit does not specify hard-wired device family compatibility (e.g., specific brand models), but rather accepts any TVI camera meeting HD-TVI transport standards and any ONVIF IP source. Confirm camera codec support (H.265, H.264, MJPEG) with your VMS or management software before deployment. NDAA-compliant sourcing ensures federal procurement eligibility for sensitive-site installations.
Installation Notes
Wall mounting requires structural fasteners rated for the recorder's weight and vibration isolation best practices. Verify power supply capacity before installation—hybrid recorders typically draw 200–400W depending on drive activity and network load. Ensure adequate ventilation clearance around the unit to prevent thermal throttling during continuous recording. Coaxial runs to TVI inputs should observe standard cabling distances (up to 500 meters with passive baluns depending on bandwidth and cable quality). IP channels require network connectivity; plan switch PoE budget and bandwidth allocation before commissioning. Confirm storage retention calculations based on your channel mix, frame rate, and codec choices—24TB capacity varies significantly with H.265 vs. H.264 across 24 channels.
