Product Description
The ProLux PXD-5208AN-4KL-X/8P is an 8-channel penta-brid DVR built for installers mixing analogue and IP cameras on one job — retrofits, phased upgrades, or sites where camera types vary by area.
It accepts HDCVI, HDTVI, AHD, CVBS and IP inputs simultaneously, so existing coax cabling can stay in place while new IP cameras go in elsewhere. IP channels record at up to 8MP.
Why installers spec this unit
- PoC (Power over Coax) — power and video share one coaxial run, cutting cable runs and containment on retrofit jobs
- H.265+/H.265 dual-stream compression — smaller storage footprint and lower network load, useful where HDD capacity or bandwidth is limited
- Smart Search and Intelligent Video System — speeds up event review on multi-camera sites
- HDMI and VGA outputs — local monitor or control-room display, plus remote network viewing
Bandwidth and PoC capacity (mode-dependent)
| Mode | IP channels | Bandwidth | Output power | PoC cameras |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 12 | 48Mbps | 48W | 8 Lite / 4 Pro |
| Extended | 24 | 96Mbps | 96W | 16 Lite / 8 Pro |
Note: the two figures quoted throughout (e.g. 12/24 channels, 48/96Mbps) reflect these two operating modes rather than a single fixed spec — check which mode applies before finalising a design.
Suited to retail units, small warehouses, offices and residential blocks where a single recorder needs to bridge legacy analogue cameras with newer IP additions, without a full rip-and-replace.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this DVR run analogue and IP cameras at the same time?
Yes. It supports HDCVI, HDTVI, AHD and CVBS analogue inputs alongside IP cameras in hybrid mode, so existing coax-based cameras and new IP cameras can share one recorder.
What is the maximum IP camera resolution supported?
Accepts IP cameras at up to 8MP for each channel.
Does it support PoC cameras, and how many?
Yes. Depending on mode, it supports up to 8 or 16 Lite series PoC cameras, or 4 or 8 Pro series PoC cameras, powered and fed video over a single coaxial cable per camera.
What outputs are available for monitoring?
The recorder provides HDMI and VGA outputs for local monitoring, plus remote viewing and management over the network.
