12MP 12-Channel PoE Surveillance System

The Reolink RLK8-1200B4-A is a 12-channel network video recorder kit supplied with a pre-installed 2TB hard drive. It supports up to 12 IP cameras while providing eight built-in PoE ports for direct wired connections. The system records at 12MP resolution and is intended for residential or small-business premises requiring continuous multi-camera coverage with simplified cabling.

Sustained 24/7 Recording Performance

The NVR compresses incoming streams using H.265 or H.264 codecs and writes footage continuously at up to 20 frames per second per channel. Local AI processing enables smart detection and perimeter protection without cloud dependency, while AI video search allows keyword filtering of stored clips directly on the recorder or via the companion app. The 2TB drive capacity determines total retention time across all active channels.

PoE Interface and Display Limits

Each of the eight PoE ports delivers power and data over a single RJ-45 cable at 10/100 Mbps, restricting per-camera bandwidth to that rate. Video output is available through HDMI at resolutions up to 3840×2160 and through VGA up to 1920×1080. Live-view and playback grids can combine multiple streams up to a maximum decoded resolution of 7680×2160, constraining the number of simultaneous high-resolution feeds.

Questions about this item

How much power does the NVR draw when recording 24/7?

The NVR includes one 2TB drive and powers up to eight cameras through its PoE ports, so total draw depends on how many cameras are connected.

Do I need a separate PoE switch or injector to run the cameras?

No, the NVR has eight built-in PoE ports that deliver power and data over a single Ethernet cable per camera.

Can I keep using my older ONVIF cameras with this 12-channel NVR?

Yes, the NVR supports ONVIF and accepts up to twelve IP cameras, eight of them wired to the PoE ports.
