Integrated PoE+ Connectivity

The DW-VG4164T16P features 16 integrated PoE+ ports, allowing compatible IP cameras to connect directly to the recorder. The 802.3at PoE+ ports support up to 30W per port, with a total PoE power budget of 160W according to the current manufacturer specifications.

This integrated design can simplify camera installation by combining network connectivity and power delivery within the NVR.

4K Video Recording

The VMAX IP G4 supports IP cameras with resolutions up to 4K (3840 x 2160). The 16-channel system supports up to 480 fps recording at supported configurations, with a maximum network throughput of 160 Mbps.

H.264 and H.265 compression support provides compatibility with a wide range of IP surveillance cameras while helping manage network and storage requirements.

Recording & Playback

The NVR offers several recording modes for different surveillance requirements, including continuous, scheduled, motion detection, sensor-triggered, emergency, and pre/post-alarm recording.

Recorded footage can be searched using timeline, calendar, event, thumbnail, and smart motion search functions. Playback speeds range from 1x through higher-speed options up to 99x, depending on the playback configuration.

Remote Monitoring & Management

The VMAX IP G4 platform supports remote access and management through compatible Digital Watchdog software and applications. The system can be integrated into larger surveillance environments using C3 Central Management Software, while supported mobile applications provide remote access to compatible systems.

Digital Watchdog's PathFinder technology supports remote connectivity without requiring traditional port forwarding, while CCIP system encryption uses TLS-based communication for supported camera and recorder configurations.

Storage & Expansion

This specific DW-VG4164T16P configuration includes a 4TB internal hard drive. The recorder has two SATA hard-drive bays and the VMAX IP G4 platform supports storage configurations up to 32TB, depending on the selected model.

Note: Storage capacity and configuration can affect recording retention time. Actual retention depends on the number of cameras, resolution, frame rate, compression settings, recording schedule, and other system settings.
