PC-less, All-in-one Private Surveillance Solution Synology Network Video Recorder NVR216 makes surveillance monitoring and playback simple. After the initial set up, users can simply connect an HDMI monitor and keyboard/mouse to setup their Surveillance Station without the need for a PC. Synology NVR216 supports video recording of up to 4 or 9 network cameras when each camera is configured at 720p/30FPS within a network. Without requiring any costly computer, NVR216 is a compact all-in-one solution for monitoring live feeds, changing IP camera settings, and even browsing stored video footage.
User Friendly Interface and Wide-ranging Compatibility Thanks to the versatile features of Surveillance Station, NVR216 is suitable for retail stores or small scale deployment. NVR216 has a total of three USB ports with one of the USB ports being USB 3.0. Users can connect a mouse, or keyboard to easily navigate between different camera streams and use the audio input port to connect a microphone and communicate via two-way audio enabled cameras. In the event of power failure, NVR216 supports Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to ensure continuous power supply and can safely power down before the UPS battery runs out.
24/7 Security Solution for Everyone, Everywhere Synology Surveillance Station offers a centralized interface to manage and monitor IP cameras in your shop, office, or home. In addition to its intuitive setup and hassle-free user experience, Surveillance Station features an optimized Live View panel with on-screen operations, smart analytics tools such as motion detection, and an alert system that sends instant notifications through DS cam, SMS, and E-mail when any suspicious behavior is detected.
Expandable Recording Storage for Growing Needs NVR216 comes with one eSATA port, allowing connection to Synology Expansion Unit DX2131 to expand the storage from 2 to 4 drives. With DX213 connected, users are able to create a RAID 5 volume to further enlarge the usable space and safely protect valuable video footage.
Wallet-Friendly & Energy-Efficient NVR216 is engineered with energy efficiency in mind. It is extremely quiet and requires only 14.14W when paired with 9 channels of camera streaming and continuous recording. It only consumes as little power as one energy saving light bulb. As a PC-less surveillance solution, NVR216 economizes on both equipment and energy costs in the long-run. All Synology products are produced with RoHS compliant parts and packed with recyclable packing materials. Synology acknowledges the responsibility as a global citizen to continually work to reduce the environmental impact of every product produced.

Synology NVR216 (4CH) NVR Server RAM / Card upgrade options
VisualStation for Synology NVR Server
Paired with NVR216 (4CH) Synology NVR server, VisualStation VS360HD, a video decoder, allows you to create an amazingly compact monitoring and playback station for your local teams —without a computer. VS360HD includes HDMI and VGA output to decode and display up to 36 video feeds. More Info
Hi Span, Can the 4CH be upgraded to support more cameras by purchasing additional licenses in the future? Thanks, Ricky
Hi Ricky,
The NVR 4CH can only handle 4 channels and same with the NVR 9CH can only handle 9 channels. If you are looking for more IP cameras I would highly recommend the Qnap TS-253A Compered with the Synology, the QNAP comes with four channels and can go up to x40. It has 4GB of Ram, HDMI port and x2 LAN ports that can be aggregated. Over all the QNAP can be used as a traditional NAS where the Synology is a dedicated NVR system. I have added a compare page for you to look over. If you have any question please do not hesitate to contact me.
Please, can you explain the difference between NVR216 and NVR215j ? Thanks a lot
Hi Fabio,
NVR is a NAS that is dedicated to survalance and comes with either 4-9CH licences. There is no such thing as a NVR215j - You might be looking at the DS215J If you are looking for a cost effective NAS then i would suggest the 215J - But if you want a survailance machine then the NVR would be the unit for you.
Regarding ordering, you can purchase your NAS unit with drives on our website (with installation and testing included at no additional charge), however if you send me an email with your requirements, your name, contact number and address, I can arrange better prices than those available online.
Thank you for contacting SPAN.COM and I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,

I have heard that this unit arrives as the Synology NVR216 4CH and the Synology NVR216 9CH, is that true? and What are the main differences between them? RAM? CPU? Are they both Surveillance NAS?
That is True. The NVR216 arrives in 2 Versions. Tehy are the The Synology NVR216 (4CH) and the Synology NVR (9CH). The only difference between them is the number of channels they are configured to with each camera configured to 720p or 30FPS. They both utilize a 1GHZ dual Core CPU which is an Embedded NVR SoC chip (Surveillance specialised). Additionally they both arrive with 1GB DR RAM which cannot be upgraded. Both are 2 bay units and arrive with teh following ports - USB 3.0 x 1 for an external drive backup, USB 2.0 x 2 for External Drive support as well as connecting a keyboard and Mouse for a standalone Surveillance device, eSATA x 1 for the DX213 expansion NAS, HDMI x 1 to connect a visual device such as a HDTV and 3.5mm audio jack x 2 (input/output) for Audio NVR support.
Once again, to summarize the only difference,
The Synology NVR216 4CH is configured to support upto 4 channels with each camera configured to 720p 30FPS
The Synology NVR216 9CH is configured to support upto 9 channels with each camera at 720p 30FPS
I hope that helped and I recommend pre-ordering this item with us to ensure you recieve your unit in the first shipment arriving with us shortly.

When will this unit be released? How many channels will it support? Is it a HDMI NAS? Thank you. Ben
Thank you for your question.The unit is available in 4 and 9 Channel configurations. It has a HDMI port, however this is predominantly used for Surveillance station and not for typical NAS access and media display as you would find in a number of the QNAP NAS models (such as the QNAP TS-253A and the QNAP TS-253 PRO). We recommend this NAS for a standalone Surveillance station. Thank you.
