Risco VUpoint 16 Channel NVR - Non-POE with 1 HDD Bay - White
Key Features
- 16 channel network video recorder designed for Risco VUpoint video verification.
- Video verification via iRISCO app with push notifications, images and 30 second alarm event clips (when used within the VUpoint ecosystem).
- Integrated via Risco Cloud so detectors and cameras can trigger recording together.
- Local recording to internal hard drive plus cloud storage support for event evidence (system dependent).
- Recording compression: H.264 and H.265.
- HDMI and VGA display outputs for local monitor viewing.
- Peer-to-peer setup support for simpler installation without router configuration (feature dependent).
Specifications
What's In The Box

- Manufacturer documentation does not list the full pack contents in the provided text, so included accessories cannot be confirmed.
Suitable Uses
- Risco alarm sites using VUpoint video verification where operators want alarm events tied directly to video clips in the iRISCO app.
- Small to medium commercial and industrial sites needing up to 16 IP camera channels without integrated POE switching.
- Installations where cameras are powered via separate POE switch, injectors, or local power rather than from the recorder.
- Jobs needing HDMI or VGA local display for onsite viewing and playback.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Does this NVR power cameras over Ethernet?
No. This model is a non-POE recorder (0 POE ports), so cameras need power via a separate POE switch, POE injector, or local power supply depending on the camera. - How many cameras can I connect?
It supports up to 16 IP camera channels, subject to network design and camera settings. - Can it record and also send alarm video to my phone?
In the VUpoint ecosystem, alarm events can trigger clips and push notifications to the iRISCO app via the cloud, while recordings are also stored locally on the recorder (system setup dependent).
Additional Information
- Non-POE recorders are commonly chosen when a site already has a quality POE switch and structured cabling, or when cameras are spread across multiple network cabinets.
- When sizing storage, remember the recorder supports up to 10 TB via a single SATA III bay, so retention time depends heavily on camera resolution, frame rate, motion settings and compression (H.264 vs H.265).
- For smoother playback on higher resolution cameras, installers typically keep total bitrate within the recorder limits (80 Mbps stated) and avoid pushing every channel to maximum settings at the same time.
- If video verification is a key requirement, ensure the alarm and video devices are configured as a single integrated system rather than as two separate standalone apps.
