Ajax NVR H series, featuring HDMI output for local video monitoring

Ajax expands its video surveillance lineup with the new NVR H series. These network video recorders deliver a highly flexible, professional video monitoring experience — either via the Ajax cloud interface or on-site using the built-in Video Management System (VMS).

NVR HAC with HDMI output and embedded VMS

The Ajax NVR H series integrates Ajax video devices alongside compatible third-party IP cameras into a single ecosystem. The line features two versions: NVR HAC (8-channel) and NVR HAC (16-channel), supporting up to 8 and 16 camera channels respectively. Each model is available in both black and white variants.

The NVR H devices are engineered for on-site video monitoring. With an HDMI output and internal VMS, they enable direct live and archived video playback on a connected display — without the need for a PC or laptop. This makes the NVR H series an ideal solution for small and medium-sized businesses, homes, offices, and other installations where local monitoring is essential. Combined with cloud-based access via the Ajax app, this ecosystem offers full flexibility: local viewing, remote access, or a hybrid model for total situational awareness.

For example, hotel staff can monitor entire floors from existing displays and respond swiftly to events, while homeowners can view footage straight on their TV using an NVR HAC device.

In settings where internet connectivity is unreliable, or where autonomous 24/7 operation and strict local storage compliance are required, the NVR H series provides a reliable, self-contained solution.

Integrated Video Management System (VMS)

The NVR HAC includes a fully-featured VMS that runs directly on the device. No external PC or dedicated software required. Users can view live streams or archives on a connected monitor using a mouse and keyboard, logging in with either a cloud account or a local account depending on usage preferences.

The intuitive interface allows operators to monitor multiple feeds simultaneously via customizable “video wall” layouts that can automatically rotate between camera views for comprehensive oversight. Whether overseeing a corporate floor or monitoring a residential entrance, users can rearrange camera groups in seconds, maintaining focus on key activity.

The system enables operators to navigate the archive efficiently with filter options, calendar view, or instant jump to relevant events using integrated motion detection cues.

Built-in Motion Detection

NVR HAC units are equipped with advanced motion-detection algorithms for real-time analysis of camera streams. Users can define custom detection zones to trigger recording only when meaningful movement occurs. This reduces irrelevant footage, conserves drive space, and accelerates archive searches.

Privacy as a Priority

Ajax video devices are engineered for stringent privacy controls. End users maintain full governance over live feeds, archived footage, and settings via the Ajax apps. Even professional installers can access NVR settings only temporarily and with authorization. Cloud accounts are secured with biometric or password login, two-factor authentication, and session monitoring.

Data transmissions are protected by JetSparrow technology — a proprietary protocol by Ajax that combines peer-to-peer architecture with TLS encryption and intelligent routing algorithms. Videofeed delivery stays stable even under challenging network conditions. Additionally, all system data is stored in the European Union and these devices meet U.S. Government NDAA compliance — the components are sourced exclusively from vetted manufacturers.

Integration with ONVIF & RTSP Systems

Ajax NVR devices support ONVIF Profiles S, T, and M³ as well as RTSP streaming, enabling seamless integration with third-party systems or legacy installations. Even non-Ajax IP cameras connected to an NVR HAC benefit from Ajax event ecosystem — recording triggers, centralized management, and secure access via Ajax apps.

Key to the Ajax Ecosystem

The NVR HAC range enables third-party IP cameras to operate within the Ajax ecosystem, responding to system alarms and participating in automation scenarios. For instance, when motion detection triggers an alarm from an Ajax detector, connected IP cameras can start recording and provide instant visual verification. Additionally, actions like siren activation or alert notifications are triggered through the same ecosystem workflow.

Alarm and event notifications in Ajax apps can immediately redirect users to the relevant footage, enabling rapid incident response. Everything is configured and controlled directly within the Ajax ecosystem applications.

Robust Hardware for Professional Surveillance

The NVR HAC units are built for demanding security applications. They feature HDMI output for direct monitor connection, dual USB ports for mouse, keyboard or storage devices, and support for a 3.5″ SATA hard drive with up to 16 TB of capacity — ideal for large video archives. An active cooling system ensures reliable operation even under heavy load.

The front panel features coloured LED indicators that display system status, including power, internet connection, Ajax Cloud link, and HDD activity. Brightness is adjustable via the Ajax app, enabling discreet use in dark environments.

Seamless Experience: From Installation to Daily Operation

True to Ajax’s legacy of simplicity and reliability, the NVR HAC line offers fast setup, broad system control, efficient archive search, and easy maintenance. Installers add devices with a QR code, operators configure video walls and alerts via the app, and users receive updates over the cloud. All without sacrificing security or performance.

• Quick Setup. With the Ajax app, installation takes only minutes and uses familiar workflows for PRO installers.
• Comprehensive Control. Live view, event logs, archive navigation and device management all accessed via Ajax apps or the built-in VMS.
• Smooth Archive Handling. Archive timestamps, filters and calendar view accelerate post-incident review and export to USB drives directly from the NVR.
• Effortless Maintenance. Real-time device status shown in the app, over-the-air updates and dedicated technical support keep systems healthy and secure.

The expanding Ajax video range underscores the brand’s focus on immediate response, user privacy and ecosystem synergy. The NVR HAC models complement the cloud-connected Ajax environment with local video management and no internet dependency — making them a versatile choice for homes and businesses alike.
