Record for weeks at a time

This recorder offers high storage capacity and automatically overwrites the oldest footage when full. You can also set it to automatically delete recordings after a specific time period if desired.

Footage is stored locally, independent of any internet connection. This means recordings are continuous, in full quality, and completely under your control – with no monthly fees or reliance on cloud services.

Recording modes:
→ Continuous
→ Scheduled
→ Motion-triggered
→ External alarm trigger
→ Disabled

Compatible with all camera types – wired and wireless

The recorder supports all Bascom cameras, whether wired, wireless, or a combination of both. This gives you the flexibility to build and expand your system exactly the way you want.

Access anytime, anywhere

The recorder is the central hub of your camera system. From here, you can view footage, manage settings, and create backups. You can log in directly on the recorder or access it remotely.

Recording & storage

Storage capacity: 2 TB (2000 GB) ?This provides enough space for several weeks of recordings. The exact duration depends on various factors, such as the number of cameras, the recording type (e.g. continuous or motion-triggered), and the amount of motion throughout the day.

Recording resolution: up to Ultra HD (4K) at 25 fps per camera

Recording options (adjustable per camera):

  • Continuous recording

  • Motion-triggered recording

  • Scheduled recording

  • Record on external alarm

  • Do not record

Pre-record function ?The pre-recording function, activated when 'recording on motion' is enabled, continuously saves the last 10 seconds of footage in a temporary memory. When motion is detected, these images are automatically added to the recording, so that the recording starts before the visible moment of motion. This way, you are always guaranteed a complete picture.

Privacy masking: hide parts of the image with a black block to ensure privacy.

Overwrite mode: automatically overwrites the oldest images when storage capacity is reached.

Deletion policy: can automatically delete images after a preset period.
