Prama PT-NRAS2A04-K1 4CH 4K AI Sense NVR 1 SATA 12MP

Small business owners and homeowners looking for Prama PT-NRAS2A04-K1 price India options will find this 4-channel AI Sense network video recorder packs face recognition, human and vehicle classification, and intelligent analytics into a compact chassis with single SATA support up to 10 TB. With 40 Mbps incoming bandwidth, 4K HDMI output, and decoding capacity up to 12 MP per channel, this NVR does not just record — it understands what it is seeing. If you need a 4-channel AI NVR with face recognition for your Delhi NCR shop, home, or small office that cuts false alarms and fits a tight budget, the PT-NRAS2A04-K1 from Prama India offers intelligent surveillance with GST invoice from Thencix Nehru Place.

Most entry-level NVRs in the Indian market are dumb boxes. They record video, play it back, and flood your phone with alerts every time a leaf blows past the camera. By morning you have 30 notifications and you have stopped checking them. The PT-NRAS2A04-K1 solves this with Prama AI Sense — built-in analytics that distinguish humans and vehicles from animals, weather, and shadows across all 4 channels. A shop owner in Karol Bagh draws a virtual line across his storage room entrance and gets alerted only when a person crosses after 9 PM. A homeowner in Noida configures an intrusion zone around the parking area and receives notifications only for human movement, not for cats or plastic bags.

The face recognition engine is the headline feature that separates this from standard 4-channel NVRs costing Rs 500 less. The system supports up to 16 face picture libraries containing 20,000 face images total, with each picture capped at 4 MB. One channel handles human face capture from a camera at the main door. Two channels run face picture comparison alarms in real time. When a registered family member or employee walks through, the system logs entry silently. When a blacklisted individual appears — a terminated domestic helper, a banned delivery agent — the NVR triggers an alarm output to a buzzer or sends an instant mobile alert. For small offices, homes with frequent visitors, and shops that need to screen against known troublemakers, this turns passive recording into active security.

The single SATA interface accepts surveillance-grade hard drives up to 10 TB. At H.265+ compression with typical 4MP 15 fps settings and motion-activated recording, 4 cameras consume approximately 60 to 80 GB per day. A 10 TB drive therefore provides roughly 120 to 160 days of retention before overwrite — far more than the 30-day minimum most Indian insurance policies require. For home users who want months of footage without babysitting the system, this single drive capacity is genuinely liberating.

The 4K HDMI output at 3840 × 2160 drives modern TVs and monitors crisply. The VGA port runs simultaneously at up to 1920 × 1080, so you can plug the HDMI into your living room TV and the VGA into a small monitor in the bedroom or office — both showing the same cameras at their native resolutions. The decoding capacity adjusts based on whether AI Sense is active: with AI on, the NVR decodes one 12 MP stream at 30 fps, one 8 MP at 30 fps, three 4 MP at 30 fps, or six 1080p at 30 fps. With AI off, capacity jumps to one 12 MP, two 8 MP, four 4 MP, or eight 1080p channels.

AI Sense Analytics and Smart Detection for Small-Scale Security

What makes the PT-NRAS2A04-K1 practical is that the analytics run on the NVR itself, not on cloud servers or expensive camera upgrades. All 4 channels support human and vehicle classification with intelligent learning-based motion detection. A Kirana store owner in Chandni Chowk configures the system to alert only when a human enters the cash counter area after closing time. A small factory supervisor in Ghaziabad sets a tripwire across the tool storage entrance and gets notified only for person or vehicle crossings — not for rats, rain, or shifting shadows.

Because the processing happens at the NVR, your existing cameras do not need AI chips inside them. Standard ONVIF-compliant IP cameras from Hikvision, CP Plus, Dahua, and Prama feed basic video into the NVR, and the AI Sense engine does the rest. This protects your existing camera investment while upgrading the entire system to intelligent monitoring. The only requirement is clean enough footage for the analytics to work — 2MP minimum, 4MP recommended, good lighting at the detection zones.

The smart search and playback features save hours during incident investigation. Instead of scrubbing through days of footage, draw a box around the area where the incident occurred, select the time range, and the NVR finds all motion events in that zone automatically. Smart playback skips idle periods and plays only relevant segments. A shop owner reviewing a weekend break-in can find the exact moment of entry in minutes rather than hours.

Compact Design and Storage Scaling for Home and Small Office

The 320 × 240 × 48 mm chassis is compact enough to hide inside a TV cabinet, slide under a desk, or mount on a wall. At under 1 kg without the hard drive, it is lighter than most laptops. The 12 VDC 1.5A power adapter is included, and power consumption stays under 10 watts without the HDD — roughly Rs 50 to 80 per month in electricity for 24/7 operation, less than a daily cup of chai.

The H.265+ codec reduces storage and bandwidth consumption by up to 75 percent compared to standard H.264. For homes running on Jio Fiber or Airtel Xstream 100 Mbps plans shared with Netflix and Zoom, this efficiency means 4 cameras stream smoothly without choking the network. For storage, a 4 TB drive at H.265+ provides the same retention as a 6 TB drive at H.264 — real savings on hardware costs.

Network protocols include TCP/IP, DHCP, IPv4, IPv6, DNS, DDNS, NTP, RTSP, SADP, SMTP, SNMP, NFS, iSCSI, UPnP, HTTP, and HTTPS. The 128 remote connection slots support multi-user access — enough for family members, security guards, and facility managers to log in simultaneously from different locations. TLS encryption on video streams adds a layer of security for remote access over public internet.

Who Actually Buys This and Why

1. Kirana Store and Small Retail Security in Karol Bagh and Chandni Chowk
Mount the NVR behind the billing counter and run 2 to 4 IP cameras across the shop floor, entrance, and storage room. The AI human and vehicle classification filters out false alerts from passing traffic and stray animals — you get notified only when someone actually enters your shop after hours. The face recognition library stores known troublemakers and banned vendors; when they appear at the entrance, the buzzer sounds before they reach the counter. The 4K HDMI output plugs into an affordable 32-inch TV for live monitoring. H.265+ compression keeps a 2 TB drive recording for 25 to 30 days. The compact chassis hides inside the cash drawer cabinet. At roughly Rs 5,000 to 7,000, the NVR costs less than two months of manned security.

2. Home and Apartment Security in Noida and Ghaziabad
Install in the living room or bedroom closet with cameras at the main door, balcony, parking area, and lobby. The 4-channel capacity covers a standard 3BHK or independent floor without waste. The face recognition library stores family members, domestic help, and approved visitors. When the maid arrives, the system logs her entry time for attendance verification. When an unknown face appears repeatedly at the gate, you get an alert to investigate. The P2P cloud setup works over Jio Fiber or Airtel Xstream broadband, letting you check live feeds from work or while traveling without static IP configuration. The simultaneous HDMI/VGA output drives a TV in the living room and a monitor in the bedroom. The under-1-kg weight and 12 VDC power mean the unit runs safely on home inverter backup during outages.

3. Small Office and Startup Surveillance in Nehru Place and Connaught Place
Deploy in the admin cabin with cameras covering reception, the main work area, and the server corner. The AI human and vehicle detection filters out false alarms from cleaning staff and delivery personnel, triggering only on unauthorized entry after hours. The face recognition feature logs employee attendance at the main door, replacing manual registers. The smart playback lets managers find incidents in minutes rather than scrubbing through hours of footage. The 10 TB SATA support means you rarely worry about drive swaps — set it up and forget it for months. The 128-user account system creates separate logins for co-founders, office managers, and security staff. For Delhi NCR startups, the total cost of NVR plus 4 cameras often comes under Rs 20,000 — a fraction of managed security services.

4. Small Clinic and Healthcare Facility Monitoring in South Delhi and Dwarka
Position in the reception or doctor’s cabin with cameras covering the waiting area, entrance, pharmacy counter, and parking. The compact size fits into medical office furniture without dominating the space. The face recognition library stores regular patients and staff for quick identification. Patient privacy is partially addressed by motion-activated recording in sensitive areas, with continuous recording only in public spaces. The 4K output lets reception staff verify patient arrivals from a distance. For clinics handling cash payments, the cash desk camera provides audit footage for billing disputes. The AI classification filters out alerts from pets and delivery workers, keeping notifications relevant. Pair with a gigabit PoE switch to power cameras and reduce cable clutter in small spaces.
