Description

The BHR-4116C hybrid recorder is a professional surveillance solution that integrates seamlessly into any existing security architecture, featuring 16 channels for Analog HD cameras up to 5 MP TVI or 1080p AHD & CVI, and 8 channels for IP cameras up to 4MP. Recordings are compressed using H.264. Two hard drives of up to 8TB each (16TB total) can be installed. The iSmartVideo app (for Android and iOS) connects to the recorder via P2P, providing access to stored recordings and live camera feeds.

A user-friendly CMS allows for the interconnection and control of multiple recorders via Mac and PC, while the web client enables the recorder to be operated over the internet without the need to install additional software. The SMARTsearch feature finds relevant events in the recordings quickly and efficiently by searching for incidents exclusively within a user-defined area. Small and medium-sized businesses benefit from this comprehensive and future-proof surveillance solution.

16 Analog HD channels

Up to 16 Analog HD cameras can be connected, capturing even the finest details such as faces and license plates with resolutions of up to 2592 x 1944p (TVI) or 1920 x 1080p (AHD/CVI).

8 IP channels

Additionally, 8 IP cameras with up to 4 MP each can be connected to the recorder via Ethernet to capture the environment in cinema quality over the network at up to 2592 x 1520 pixels.

Up to 16 TB of storage

Two internal hard drives with a capacity of up to 16TB can be installed. This storage capacity handles even the most demanding tasks while keeping maintenance requirements to a minimum.

4K HDMI port

With the built-in 4K HDMI port, you can also use the BHR-4116C with high-resolution 4K monitors and TVs. Thanks to the high resolution, you can keep an eye on even more live feeds simultaneously.

5MP resolution - So nothing remains hidden from you

The BHR-4116C is capable of recording video in 5MP resolution on all 16 channels simultaneously and playing it back over the network. With this high resolution, you can zoom into the smallest details and identify fine details even in large crowds.

RAID2 – Maximum data security

Safety in numbers: RAID2 mirrors files from one hard drive to the second hard drive in your recorder. This means all files are available on both drives simultaneously, ensuring you are on the safe side in the event of a hardware defect.

RAID is the ultimate protection for your sensitive files and the best safeguard against data loss. Even the best hard drive can eventually malfunction, especially in professional environments where the workload is high and time is limited. With RAID2, you are on the safe side because you always have a second backup copy available. An indispensable function for both professionals and private users.

Motion detection

Save storage space by letting the cameras record only when motion is detected. The integrated software detects motion and automatically starts a recording.

Internet connection without port forwarding and router configuration

The P2P (peer-to-peer) function allows you to access all network-enabled cameras and recorders from Balter without needing to forward ports or use paid DynDNS providers. Simply scan a QR code on the device or enter the P2P number manually into the app or CMS, and you will have access to your video surveillance system in seconds.

Full oversight, even on the go

It has never been easier to keep an eye on your property. With the Balter iSmartVideo app, you have the full power of your surveillance cameras at your fingertips while on the move and can browse all videos saved on your recorder’s hard drive and play them back on your iOS and Android devices. Simply scan the QR code attached to your recorder… and you’re done. You don't need to make any further settings; you can immediately use the full performance of your recorder, even while traveling.

Audio support

Thanks to 16 audio inputs, a microphone can be connected for each camera. This adds a new dimension to events and preserves important information that would be lost in purely visual recordings.

Alarm inputs and outputs – the nexus of your security concept

Thanks to 16 alarm inputs and 1 alarm output, your BHR-4116C acts as the control center for your personal security system, reliably managing external devices such as sirens, barriers, and external motion detectors.

H.264

This common compression algorithm saves even detailed imagery in a resource-efficient manner while still offering more than satisfactory image quality.

SMARTsearch

Intelligent searching saves time and prevents false alarms. Search recordings for incidents within an area you define. Motion outside this area (for example, public roads) is ignored.

PTZ camera support

Thanks to the RS-485 interface and Coaxitron support, both Analog HD (TVI, AHD, CVI) and IP cameras with pan/tilt/zoom functionality can be controlled.

Email and push notifications – Notifies you automatically of incidents

Receive notifications even when you are away if your system detects an event. With the email function, you can receive an immediate email including an image of the incident on your smartphone if desired, allowing you to take further steps immediately if necessary.

Cloud support – Seamless integration with your Dropbox

Effortlessly incorporate your Balter recorder into your cloud concept. Simply connect it to your Dropbox so that the recorder uploads images to your Dropbox at regular intervals and in the event of an alarm. At a glance, you can stay up to date on what is happening on your premises without even having to watch a video.

The professional solution

What used to be reserved for significantly more expensive systems is included for free with the Balter recorder. With the Balter CMS, you can control your entire surveillance system conveniently from your Windows PC or Mac. All functions available to you directly on the device can be easily operated from your computer. You can even interconnect multiple recorders into one system, making you excellently prepared for the future.

Web client - Control your surveillance system from any PC

Control your Balter recorder from any PC with internet access without installing additional software. Simply access your recorder over the internet to control connected cameras and search through recordings. This gives you full access to your security system even while on vacation or at work.
