The Reolink NVS36 is a high-capacity 36-channel Network Video Recorder (NVR) designed for comprehensive surveillance systems, supporting up to 36 Reolink IP cameras including PoE, plug-in WiFi, and battery-powered models for flexible deployment in homes or businesses.
It handles resolutions up to 16MP for crystal-clear footage, with three HDD bays offering up to 48TB total storage for extended 24/7 continuous recording—lasting approximately 20 days with 36 cameras at 6Mbps.
Features include 8 alarm input channels for sensors and 4 output channels for actions like sirens, plus two-way audio via built-in ports for real-time communication with compatible cameras.
Expandability is enhanced by connecting up to four PoE switches to its LAN ports for broader coverage without latency, and it integrates smart detection like person/vehicle alerts from Reolink cameras for intelligent monitoring. Compatible with Reolink apps and clients for local/remote access, it ensures subscription-free operation with secure local storage.
