Welcome to Comsys NZ's NVR and DVR collection, featuring the latest network and digital video recorders for your security and surveillance needs. Browse our range of high-quality recording systems from leading brands including Synology, QNAP, Ubiquiti and Lilin. Whether you need a compact 2-bay NVR for home security or an enterprise-grade system with multiple drive bays for business surveillance, we stock genuine, brand new units with full manufacturer warranty. All orders over $500 qualify for free delivery across Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and all of New Zealand.
When shopping for an NVR (Network Video Recorder) or DVR (Digital Video Recorder), several key specifications will help you find the perfect match for your security setup. First, consider the channel count – this determines how many cameras you can connect to your system. Our range includes options from 2-channel systems for small homes to 16+ channels for larger properties or businesses.
Storage capacity is another crucial factor. Look at the number of drive bays (ranging from 2 to 16 in our collection) and maximum supported capacity. Many models like the Synology DVA1622 and QNAP options allow you to install your own hard drives for flexible storage configuration. Also check for features like RAID support for data redundancy, particularly important for business surveillance.
Finally, consider additional features that might benefit your setup. Some models offer AI-powered analytics for smart detection, PoE (Power over Ethernet) ports to simplify camera installation, or 4K recording capabilities for crystal-clear footage. Ubiquiti's UniFi Protect systems integrate seamlessly with other UniFi networking gear, while Synology and QNAP options can often double as NAS devices. For business customers opening a trade account with us, you'll receive volume pricing on larger surveillance deployments.
NVRs (Network Video Recorders) work with IP cameras over a network connection, offering higher resolution and more flexibility. DVRs (Digital Video Recorders) connect directly to analog cameras via coaxial cables. Most modern systems are NVRs for better quality and easier installation.
Most NVR/DVR units we sell are barebone systems requiring separate hard drive purchases. We recommend surveillance-grade HDDs specifically designed for 24/7 recording. Add both the recorder and appropriate drives to your cart for a complete system.
This depends on the NVR's channel count. Our range includes 2-channel systems for small setups up to 16+ channels for larger installations. Some systems require camera licenses for each connected device beyond the included count.
We supply hardware only but can recommend certified installation partners across New Zealand. Our technical support team can help with product selection and compatibility questions before you buy.
Yes, most modern NVRs offer mobile apps and web interfaces for remote viewing from anywhere. Brands like Synology, QNAP and Ubiquiti provide dedicated apps for iOS and Android to monitor your cameras on the go.
