Axis Communications 02403-004 Nvr 8 Channel Poe 2TB

Product Description

The AXIS COMMUNICATIONS 02403-004 is the S2108 Network Video Recorder, an 8-channel NVR with built-in Power over Ethernet (PoE) switching and 2TB of onboard storage. Designed for professional security integrators and IT technicians, this unit combines network switching, camera power delivery, and video recording into a single rackmount appliance. It supports up to 8 IP camera licenses out of the box, eliminating the need for a separate PoE switch in smaller deployments. The 2TB drive provides local video retention without requiring external storage infrastructure.

The S2108 is suited for small to mid-size commercial installations where a compact, all-in-one recording solution is preferred. Typical deployment scenarios include retail, small office, and light industrial environments where a dedicated IT server room may not be available. Security integrators and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers. The built-in PoE ports simplify camera cabling by carrying both data and power over a single run of Cat5e or Cat6 cable.

Key Features

• 8 onboard IP camera licenses included — no additional license purchase required at install
• Integrated PoE switch eliminates the need for a separate network switch for camera connectivity
• 2TB internal storage for local video retention
• All-in-one form factor reduces rack space and simplifies wiring in small commercial installs
• Designed for professional IP camera system deployment by certified security integrators

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM network video recorder compatible with IP cameras operating over standard PoE (802.3af/at) connections. Specific third-party camera compatibility should be verified against the manufacturer documentation prior to installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security systems technician familiar with IP networking and NVR configuration. Power down the unit and disconnect all cables before servicing internal components such as hard drives. Follow local low-voltage wiring codes and any applicable NEC requirements for structured cabling and equipment grounding. Do not exceed the total PoE power budget across all connected camera ports simultaneously.
