256-Channel Recording Capacity
The BN-NVR/256NX/NDAA provides 256 network camera channels for large surveillance deployments. Its maximum recording throughput of 1024Mbps allows the recorder to handle high volumes of network video traffic when properly configured with compatible cameras and network infrastructure.
4K Video Recording
The NVR supports recording resolutions up to 8MP (4K), along with 5MP, 3MP, 2MP (1080P), 1.3MP (960P), and 1MP (720P) resolutions. Bolide specifies recording performance of up to 240 FPS at 8MP, 480 FPS at 4MP, and 960 FPS at 2MP. Actual system performance can vary depending on camera configuration, recording settings, and available network bandwidth.
High-Capacity Storage
The recorder provides 16 internal SATA hard-drive bays, with each drive supporting up to 12TB according to Bolide's current specifications. This provides substantial storage capacity for large multi-camera installations, with the actual usable recording capacity depending on the hard drives installed and the selected recording configuration.
Multi-Display Monitoring
Four HDMI outputs provide flexible video display connectivity. Supported display configurations include 1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 16, 32, 36, and 64-view layouts. Supported output resolutions include up to 3840 × 2160.
Network and Camera Compatibility
The BN-NVR/256NX/NDAA uses a 1000M RJ-45 network interface and supports ONVIF Profile S Version 2.6 for compatible IP camera integration. The recorder does not include built-in PoE ports, so compatible cameras require a separate PoE switch or appropriate network power infrastructure.
