This 24 Camera 1080P Admiral Series Camera System is Customizable:
You can choose if you want bullet or dome 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 Customize our Security Camera Systems if you want to sub one of the cameras in this package out for a specialty camera, like a PTZ or long range camera.
You can also choose your hard drive size when you add it to the cart. For this twenty-four channel 1080P system, 5TBs of hard drive storage 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 NVR storage calculator to determine how large of a hard drive you would need.
Camera Options
Although you can substitute Admiral line IP cameras and have them work with this system, we have included our two most popular cameras in this customizable system bundle: The Deputy 2.0 v3 turret dome camera and The Warrior 2.0 v3 bullet camera. 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 1080P (2 Million Pixels per frame) and both can be mounted 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 91 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.

Detect someone up to 100 feet
"Detecting" a face means being able to tell that a human face is in the picture.
Recognize someone up to 50 feet
"Recognizing" a face refers to being able to say "I have seen that person before" - even if you don't know or can't place who it is.
Identify someone up to 25 feet
"Identification" refers to being able to make out identifiable marks with enough certainty to make a sketch or claim.

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 110 or 118 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 220-236 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.)

16 POE ports; Processing Power to Record 32 Cameras
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.
Motion Detection, Alerts, and VCA
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
Commercial-Grade Features
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.

Browser Plugin
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 Smartphone and Tablet Apps
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.
VGA Out
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.
HDMI Out
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).

UL Listed and FCC Certified
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.
