You can choose if you want bullet network cameras or dome network cameras or half and half. If you don't know what to pick, please see our Bullet vs Dome cameras guide.
When you add this system to the cart, it will break up into individual cameras and recorder, so that you can further customize it, if you so choose. Please see our guide on how to create a custom cctv system if you want to sub one of the cameras in this package out for a specialty camera, like a PTZ cameras or long range network camera.
You can also choose your hard drive size when you add it to the cart. For this twenty channel 4MP Admiral Series system, a 4TB hard drive will usually last around 7 days on continuous H.265 recording and 4-8x longer (4 to 8 weeks) when recording on motion. If you want a custom recording length, you can use our surveillance video storage calculator to determine how large of a hard drive you would need.
Although you can substitute any Admiral line SCW cameras and have them work with this system, we have included our two most popular cameras in this customizable system bundle: The Deputy 4.0 and The Warrior 4.0. The main difference between the two cameras that come in this system bundle are the viewing angle and how far you can ID a face. Both of the cameras in this system record at 4MP (4 Million Pixels per frame - about twice the quality of your 1080P HD TV) and both can be mounting indoors or outdoors, on the wall or on the ceiling/overhang.

The Warrior is our most popular camera model. It is tied with the Deputy in terms of how easy it is to install and position, since neither camera requires you to remove any part of the camera to screw it into the wall/ceiling/soffit. This makes it ideal for outdoor use as you don't have a tendency to trap moisture in the lens, as is common with dome cameras, where you have to remove the outer glass dome to mount them. The 83 degree lens is great balance between covering a large area and identifying faces and license plates. Although you can use this camera inside or out, the most common use of the Warrior models (the camera comes in 2MP, 4MP, or 8MP) is to cover the side of buildings or large sections of yards.

True Wide Dynamic Range
The Deputy is our second most popular camera model. It is tied with the Warrior in terms of how easy it is to install and position, since neither camera requires you to remove any part of the camera to screw it into the wall/ceiling/soffit. This makes it ideal for outdoor use as you don't have a tendency to trap moisture in the lens, as is common with dome cameras, where you have to remove the outer glass dome to mount them. The 101 degree lens is best used to cover an entire room at once (by installing it in a corner) or to cover a wide area of a smaller yard, as wider lenses always decrease how far away you can identify a person of license plate. Although you can use this camera inside or out, the most common uses of the Deputy models (the camera comes in 2MP, 4MP, or 4K variants) are to install the camera in the corner of a room or to cover front doors and porches outdoors. Two Deputies are often installed back to back to make a ~200 degree view, such as in the middle of a wall. (This two camera solution has less of that dizzying "fisheye" look that is common with 180 degree cameras and is also usually cheaper.)

After powering the NVR, a single power plug can also power 32 cameras.
This Admiral Pro has 16 SCWEasyConnect ports built into its case. This NVR can record an additional 16 cameras when those cameras are connected to a POE switch on the same network. This NVR can record up to 32 cameras.
Here's a wiring diagram for how you would connect cameras 17-32:
Up to 16 cameras can be connected via the ADMP32P16's POE ports (subnetted and more secure). The other cameras are connected via a POE switch on your network. If you are concerned about cybersecurity, the IMP32 is a better choice as it is more secure because it subnets all the cameras. For more info, please see our Best Practices for preventing IOT Security Camera Hacks guide.
This Admiral NVR is a motion detection NVR. Feel free to read more about these features by clicking on the link, but here's a quick synopsis:
Alerts and Notifications:
Get email alerts with snapshot images of motion detection alerts or VCA events
Set a schedule to get emails only on the hours of the day you want.
Get Push Notifications to the SCW Go Application for Android and iPhone.
Automatically upload snapshot images via FTP
Recording:
Create your own customizable record schedule, including recording based on the day of the week, hours of the day, or even choose not to record for periods of time. Set constant recording during business hours and only motion during closed hours.
Motion, VCA, or 24/7 Recording - Record based on motion detection, VCA (video content analysis), or set the system to record 24/7. You can even record based on alarm inputs!
Motion Detection You Can Use in Court - If your system is set to record based on motion or VCA events, you can have a 60-second pre-event buffer to grab footage prior to the detection. You can also set the system to record up to ten minutes after an incident is detected. Motion detection footage does not "time out" and stop recording mid-scene. Motion Clips cannot be deleted by employees or other users.
Customizable Motion Detection Recording through VCA events:
VCA features vary by camera model, and can include:
Intrusion Detection - Monitor areas with precision, define zones, set time thresholds, and sensitivity.
Line-Crossing - Create virtual lines to detect people or objects crossing doors, entrances, and more.
People Counting - Determine how many people are entering and exiting. Keep and review daily logs.
Audio Detection - Listens for rises or falls in volume, and sudden loud noises.
Vandal Detection - Get alerts based on tampering detection, defocusing, or any dramatic scene changes.
Analysis:
Smart Search - Quickly review footage by filtering by motion detected in specific areas of the screen, by the face captured, by an intrusion into certain areas, or by line-crossing
People Counting Statistics - view traffic stats on your NVR or download a CSV file
The Admiral Pro 32 Channel NVR is part of our commercial-grade NVR line. Feel free to read more about these features and what commercial-grade means to us, but here's a quick synopsis, as to how it relates to NVRs:
Surveillance-Rated Hard Drive - NVRs need Surveillance-Rated Hard Drives, as PC drives will overheat and fail.
Store 40% more data with H.265 video compression or switch back to H.264, if you need H.264 third-party integration support.
Passes vibration and surge testing up to 6,000 volts - SCW NVRs can withstand vibration and surges up to 6,000 volts.
Cybersecurity Protections - hackers can't easily see SCW cameras because they run on a special, isolated network created by the NVR. (For more information and a history of some of the larger cybersecurity attacks that have affected the industry, please see our guide on best practices for preventing IOT hacks.)
4K at 30 FPS Capable - Sufficient Bitrate (processing power) to Record Smooth Video
Easy 1 Click Firmware Update Process - Maintenance made easy.
750-Foot POE Extended Transmission: the old 300-foot limitations are a thing of the past.
No Recording Delay - Even when recording on motion.
ONVIF compliant - this NVR complies with the open-industry standard ONVIF for both Profile S (video & audio streaming) and Profile Q POE ports (you can plug-and-play with other Profile Q compliant cameras).
NAS backup - this NVR can extend its storage or mirror its contents onto a second location on a NAS (networked attached storage) device
The Admiral Pro 32 Channel NVR comes with a 3-year warranty. This warranty can also be upgraded to 5 years. We recommend doing so for commercial clients.
Our Windows/Mac application is a full-featured, easy to use, desktop video management software. You can combine multiple Admiral or Imperial systems, even at multiple locations, and seamlessly view, control, and manage them as if they were one system. Just about anything you can do on your NVR you can do on our free SCW ViewStation.
SCW View Station is both Mac and PC compatible and is 100% free.
Although you can edit most settings and live stream a camera feed in any of the major browsers, to take full advantage of our software features you will need to install our browser plugin or viewstation software.
Our browser plugin supports Internet Explorer, and Chrome, Edge, and Firefox (in Windows).
SCWGo is available for both Android and iPhone/iPad.
You download these apps from your phone's app store. Just look for the SCWGo app.
This recording device has VGA Out.
You can plug this recording device into any VGA enabled monitor.
Q: Do I have to use a monitor?
A: No, you can use either a monitor or a TV, as explained below. But, you don't actually have to use either. You can manage nearly all your settings remotely via our PC or Mac apps or via the web-interface. Quite a few of our customers hide their recorders or put them in a safe with a cable pass-through, to prevent them from potential theft. This is a perfectly fine solution. You will probably want to plug a monitor in to make your initial setup easier.
This recording device has HDMI Out.
You can plug this recording device into any HDMI enabled television. This means that you don't need to purchase a monitor unless you want to; you can connect a monitor with either HDMI or VGA cable.
Q: What if I plug in both the HDMI and VGA? Can I watch on two screens?
A: HDMI #1 and VGA the video is mirrored. On HDMI 2 it displays a separate view. This gives you 3 total screens, but two will display a mirror image (VGA/HDMI1).

This product is UL Listed and FCC certified
UL is a safety consulting and certification company headquartered in Northbrook, Illinois, and provides safety-related certification, validation, testing, inspection, and auditing of SCW products.
The Federal Communications Commission has certified that the electromagnetic interference from the device is under limits approved by the FCC.
Not Sanctioned. On Oct 7th, 2019, the US government placed sanctions on major providers in the industry for human rights abuses. Some or all Honeywell, Hikvision, Dahua, Lorex, Swann, LTS, Annke, Alibi, Laview, WBox, Interlogix, Flir, Bosch, ICRealtime, QSee, Panasonic, ADT, Indigo Vision, Montavue, and many more security products are included. SCW's Admiral and Imperial line equipment is not sanctioned.
These sanctions prevent these companies from using US technology or standards in future software or firmware releases and from using US patents in future hardware models. This means that they are going to face a situation where they either don't update firmware for cybersecurity concerns or lose ONVIF compliance or features when their firmware is updated. For these reasons, we recommend staying away from these brands.
For more information and full documentation, please see our article on NDAA and US Sanctions of Hikvision, Dahua, and their OEM brands.
