8 Channel DVR — Right-Sized for Small to Mid-Size Facilities

An 8 channel digital video recorder covers a complete small business or single-floor facility — typically 4 to 8 cameras covering entrances, POS counters, stockrooms, parking, and rear exits. 2M Technology offers two 8-channel digital video recorder models:

  • 2MT-4008 — Standard 8-channel digital video recorder for HD-TVI/AHD/CVI analog cameras. 1080p, single SATA bay (up to 8TB), H.264. Best for straightforward 8-camera installs.
  • 2MT-4088 — H.265+ 8-channel digital video recorder. Same form factor as the 4008 but H.265+ compression extends retention by up to 4× at the same storage capacity. Best when longer recording history is required.

At 1080p H.265, 8 cameras use approximately 160GB/day — a 4TB drive gives roughly 25 days of continuous recording. Upgrade to H.265+ to extend that to 60+ days on the same 4TB drive.
