The Digital Watchdog DW-COVA1632T is a 16-channel network video recorder built for installers who want a self-contained, PoE-included box that comes online connected to myDW out of the gate. 32TB of storage, 16 dedicated PoE ports, and 192Mbps of recording throughput cover most small-to-mid commercial sites without separate switches or licensing math.
Every COVA NVR includes a 12-month myDW Cloud Video Services subscription, so the dealer can monitor health, share clips, and bounce in and out of the system remotely without standing up VMS infrastructure. Cameras up to 16MP (8K) record at full 30fps per channel, and on-board IdentiSee AI search lets the operator filter back through hours of footage by object type.
- 16 channels, 16 PoE ports (802.3at), 150W total PoE budget ā pulls cabling and power off the camera install
- 32TB of usable HDD across 2 SATA bays, no RAID overhead
- 192Mbps recording throughput, up to 16MP (8K) per channel at 30fps
