Analysis of Techage's 2025 8CH POE NVR Changes & Impacts

by ChenJanice 30 Nov 2024 0 Comments

With the continuous development of technology, security surveillance equipment is also constantly being updated to meet the ever-growing security needs. Techage has always been committed to providing users with the most advanced and reliable surveillance solutions. After a period of testing, we have confirmed the launch of the new 8CH POE NVR in 2025. Next, we will delve into these changes and explore their specific impacts on customers.

Major Changes in the New 8CH POE NVR

Cancellation of USB Interface on the Front Panel of the Integrated Board

In the new 8CH POE NVR, Techage has decided to cancel the USB interface on the front panel of the integrated board. This change may surprise some users, but it is actually based on comprehensive considerations for product stability and security. While the presence of a front panel USB interface provides great convenience to users, it also increases the risk of illegal access and virus intrusion into the device. By canceling this interface, users can focus more on using safer connection methods, such as network transmission, to ensure the integrity and security of surveillance data.
Of course, for users who need frequent data exchange, this change may bring some inconvenience. However, Techage has also taken this into account and provided a more stable and efficient network interface in the new device to meet users' diverse needs.

Isolation and Non-Adjustability of POE Port and External Network Port on the Integrated Board

Another noteworthy change is that the POE port and external network port on the integrated board of the new 8CH POE NVR are set to be isolated and non-adjustable. In older devices, users could adjust the status of these two ports by plugging or unplugging a shorting bar to achieve flexible configurations of non-isolation or isolation. However, in the new device, Techage has decided to adopt a default isolation setting and eliminated the possibility for users to make adjustments.

Behind this change is Techage's deep concern for product stability and network security. Recently, we have noticed that some customers' POE NVR devices have been subjected to network attacks, resulting in issues such as device disconnection and repeated updates, which have severely affected the normal operation of the surveillance system. After in-depth analysis, we found that these problems were related to improper configuration of device ports. Therefore, in the new device, we have decided to adopt a stricter port isolation strategy to reduce the risk of attacks on the device.
By canceling the front panel USB interface and setting the isolation and non-adjustability of the POE port and external network port, Techage's new 8CH POE NVR has taken a solid step forward in enhancing product security and stability. Although these changes may bring some short-term adaptation challenges, they undoubtedly provide stronger safeguards for users' long-term interests.

The Pros and Cons of Product Changes

Pros:

  • Enhanced Stability: The new design improves the overall stability of the device.
  • Reduced Damage Risks: The integration of the POE motherboard and the NVR motherboard can also reduce damage caused by static electricity and lightning strikes.

Cons:

  • Impact on Computer Client (VMS) Access to Cameras: For loyal customers who prefer to use a computer client (VMS) to access cameras separately through the external network port of the NVR, this change may bring inconvenience. Due to the isolation of the POE port and external network port, customers cannot directly access cameras connected to the POE port through the external network port. This means that customers need to reconfigure the access method or choose other camera and NVR combinations that support network access.
  • Impact on Direct Drag-and-Drop Operations in Windows: Some customers are accustomed to directly dragging cameras in a window for configuration or viewing. However, in the new 8CH POE NVR, due to port isolation restrictions, this operation may no longer be feasible. Customers need to adapt to new configuration methods, such as adding, configuring, and viewing cameras through the software interface.
  • Impact on APP Remote Camera Addition Operations: For customers who wish to remotely add cameras connected to the POE port via an APP, this change also poses a challenge. In older devices, customers could achieve this by unplugging shorting bars or disabling virtual network adapters. But in the new device, due to the isolated and non-adjustable port settings, this operation is no longer feasible. Customers need to find other methods to remotely add and configure cameras, such as through the NVR's Web interface or dedicated configuration tools.

Summary and Suggestions

While the port isolation setting in Techage's new 8CH POE NVR enhances device security and stability, it also brings some operational inconvenience to customers. To mitigate these impacts, we recommend that customers:
  • Adapt to New Configuration Methods: Customers need to gradually adapt to the new way of adding, configuring, and viewing cameras through the software interface.
  • Seek Technical Support: For customers unfamiliar with the new configuration methods, they can contact Techage's technical support team for assistance and guidance.
  • Stay Updated: Techage will continuously introduce new features and updates to optimize the user experience. Customers can follow Techage's official website or social media channels to stay informed about the latest news and updates on the product.

In conclusion, although the port isolation setting in Techage's new 8CH POE NVR brings some challenges, it is a necessary change to enhance product security and stability. We believe that with the support and understanding of customers, Techage will continue to provide more reliable and secure surveillance solutions.

Friendly Reminder: The new 8CH POE NVR version number is H728025J. During the version transition period, we will not be able to provide shipping services for specified versions. The version you actually receive will prevail. Thank you for your understanding.
