IMPROVED DESIGN, FASTER DATA TRANSFER: This Reolink NVR can be connected to microphone/speaker devices to listen and talk to the people you see on the monitor via Reolink cameras with two-way conversation function. This requires RCA male to female converters (not included). The USB 3.0 port helps you back up important recordings from your HDD to your portable hard drive.
FULL INTEGRATION WITH SMART REOLINK CAMERAS: The RLN36 NVR can integrate the person/vehicle detection and playback of Reolink IP cameras to build an intelligent system. By adding more Reolink cameras with optical zoom, auto tracking, 2-way conversation and motion controlled headlights, you can build a state-of-the-art surveillance system for your home.
EXPAND YOUR SYSTEM WITH POE SWITCHES: By connecting up to four PoE switches to the NVR's LAN ports, you can expand your system for wider coverage and higher performance. By splitting 36 cameras into 4 PoE switches and then connecting the PoE switches to the RLN36 for integrated management, your 4K surveillance system can be accessed without latency with or without the Internet.
3 HDD bays, business grade memory: The RLN36 network video recorder has 3 hard drive bays, each of which supports up to 16TB HDD (no HDD included).
