Description

The DIGITAL WATCHDOG DW-BJCX16T-LX is a network video recorder (NVR) from the Blackjack CX series, built for professional IP camera surveillance installations. It ships with 16 TB of onboard storage and supports up to 24 camera channels simultaneously. The unit integrates 16 Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports, allowing cameras to receive data and power over a single run of network cable without separate power supplies. Security integrators and low-voltage technicians deploy this recorder in commercial and multi-zone residential applications where centralized recording, high channel density, and direct PoE camera connectivity are required.

The DW-BJCX16T-LX is suited for commercial security installations that demand high storage capacity and multi-channel recording in a single appliance. The 16 built-in PoE ports streamline camera deployment by eliminating the need for external PoE switches on those feeds. The remaining eight channels can accommodate additional IP cameras through standard network connections, extending coverage across larger facilities such as retail environments, warehouses, office campuses, and multi-tenant buildings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security systems technician in accordance with local codes and NEC Article 725 for low-voltage wiring. Power down the unit before making any rear-panel connections. PoE port loading should be calculated against the unit total PoE power budget before adding cameras. Network configuration, IP addressing, and storage formatting should be completed before placing the recorder into service.
