D-Link DNR-F4108-08P 8-Channel H.265 Network Video Recorder with PoE and 12MP Recording
The D-Link DNR-F4108-08P is an advanced 8-channel Network Video Recorder (NVR) designed for professional surveillance applications in small, medium, and large enterprises. With 8 built-in PoE ports, this NVR simplifies camera installation by delivering power and data over a single Ethernet cable. It supports H.265 and H.264 video compression and can record ultra-high-quality 12MP footage, offering 50% more pixels than 4K video for crystal-clear surveillance. The DNR-F4108-08P provides up to 12TB storage capacity (HDD not included), real-time monitoring via HDMI or VGA outputs, and remote access through a web browser or mobile app.

Professional Surveillance Solution
Built on a powerful embedded system, the DNR-F4108-08P can record video from network cameras on local or remote sites onto dedicated HDD storage without requiring a PC. The NVR supports real-time monitoring and playback via dual HDMI or VGA ports, and can continue recording while simultaneously allowing live view and playback video searches. User-defined scheduled recording, continuous recording with automatic overwriting, and motion-triggered event recording ensure your surveillance system runs reliably 24/7.
Intuitive Management and Control
D-Link's intuitive GUI interface simplifies viewing live and recorded video. The camera status page displays connection and recording status along with frame rate and bit rate information for each camera. Smart search features including specific face and vehicle search capabilities combined with calendar filters allow administrators to quickly find the footage they need. PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) controls are accessible directly from the interface, and multiple display layouts let you organise camera feeds for optimal monitoring.
Flexible Recording Options
The DNR-F4108-08P offers a highly configurable scheduling system with continuous recording, scheduled recording, and event-based recording modes. Each camera can be set to record independently at preset intervals. The intuitive interface makes it easy to configure compression format, resolution, bit rate, and frame rate for all connected cameras to balance storage requirements with image quality.
Complete Network Functionality
The NVR takes advantage of existing network architecture with support for PPPoE services, DHCP addressing, and Dynamic DNS for systems without a fixed IP address. This allows the NVR to be accessed remotely from the Internet using an easy-to-remember domain name. NTP (Network Time Protocol) ensures accurate time stamps essential for forensic evidence. Administrators can filter external connections by IP address to enhance security, and recorded data is stored in a secure database with backup options to local PC hard disks.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) Convenience
With 8 integrated PoE ports, the DNR-F4108-08P eliminates the need for separate power supplies for each camera. Simply connect compatible IP cameras using standard Ethernet cables to provide both power and data connectivity. This single-cable deployment reduces installation complexity, drilling requirements, and cabling costs while making surveillance setup simpler, safer, and more cost-effective.
DCMS+ Management Software
The included D-Link DCMS+ Software provides a versatile solution for managing multiple Network Video Recorders and cameras. Rich functions include real-time surveillance, PTZ control, camera parameter configuration, smart footage search and playback, video downloading, alarm management, AI-based facial detection and recognition, people counting, thermal monitoring, and more. The system supports all essential security functions with easy installation and convenient operation.
