IPRO NVR JAPAN WJ-NU301KG PANASONIC 16-ch 16-POE VIDEO RECORDER NDAA National Defense Authorization Act NDAA compliant

i-PRO NVR JAPAN WJ-NU301KG | PANASONIC 16-Channel 16-PoE+ Network Video Recorder | NDAA Compliant CCTV NVR Singapore

The i-PRO WJ-NU301KG is a professional 16-channel H.265 Network Video Recorder with 16 built-in PoE+ camera ports, designed for enterprise, commercial, infrastructure and high-security CCTV installations.

For customers familiar with Panasonic CCTV, i-PRO carries the professional surveillance heritage of Panasonic’s former security business. Today, the correct current brand is i-PRO, while “Panasonic NVR” and “Panasonic CCTV” remain useful legacy search terms.

The WJ-NU301KG is particularly suitable for projects requiring NDAA compliance, Intel CPU architecture, FIPS 140-2 Level 3 security, RAID 1 storage protection, 4K display, ONVIF interoperability and integrated PoE+.

Key Specifications

16-Channel Professional CCTV NVR

The WJ-NU301KG supports:

16 Network Cameras

This makes it suitable for surveillance applications such as:

Government Facilities • Commercial Buildings • Factories • Warehouses • Offices • Schools • Data Centres • Transportation • Infrastructure • High-Security Facilities

The recorder supports H.265 video compression and a wide range of camera resolutions, including 3840 × 2160 4K UHD.

Built-in 16-Port PoE+

One of the major advantages of the WJ-NU301KG is its integrated:

16 × PoE+ Camera Ports

A basic system can therefore be:

16 × i-PRO IP Cameras

↓

CAT6

↓

WJ-NU301KG 16-Port PoE+

↓

HDD Recording

↓

4K Monitor / Network / Remote Monitoring

For many installations, this removes the requirement for a separate 16-port PoE switch.

233W PoE Budget

The 16 camera ports provide a combined maximum PoE budget of:

233W

with up to:

30W per individual port

This is useful when the CCTV installation contains cameras with higher power requirements than basic fixed cameras.

However:

16 Ports × 30W does not mean 480W simultaneously.

The total connected camera load must remain within the recorder’s 233W overall PoE budget.

Up to 48TB CCTV Storage

The WJ-NU301KG supports:

2 × 3.5-inch SATA HDD

with current specifications allowing up to:

48TB Total Storage

This provides substantial recording capacity for a compact 16-channel surveillance recorder.

Actual recording retention depends on:

Camera Quantity × Resolution × FPS × Bitrate × H.265 Compression × Recording Schedule

For projects requiring 30, 60, 90 or more days of retention, storage should be calculated according to the actual camera configuration.

RAID 1 Storage Protection

The WJ-NU301KG supports:

RAID 1

When two suitable HDDs are configured as RAID 1:

HDD 1

↕

HDD 2 – Mirrored

the same recording data is maintained across both drives.

This provides greater disk-failure resilience than a single-HDD configuration.

RAID 1 does reduce usable storage capacity because the second drive is used for mirroring.

NDAA Compliant CCTV NVR

A significant feature of the WJ-NU301KG is:

NDAA COMPLIANT

In the security industry, NDAA commonly refers to procurement restrictions associated with the U.S. National Defense Authorization Act, particularly Section 889 requirements affecting certain telecommunications and video-surveillance equipment.

For government, defence-related, enterprise and security-sensitive projects where the tender specifies NDAA-compliant CCTV equipment, the WJ-NU301KG provides a suitable NVR platform for consideration.

Important distinction

NDAA compliant does not mean U.S. Department of Defense approved.

NDAA compliance also does not automatically satisfy every Singapore government, defence or critical-infrastructure tender.

Individual projects may additionally specify:

Cybersecurity Standards • Country of Origin • VAPT Requirements • Encryption • Approved Brands • Network Hardening • Security Certifications • Supply-Chain Requirements

Intel CPU

The WJ-NU301KG is specified as an:

NDAA-Compliant NVR with Intel CPU

This is particularly relevant for customers who need greater visibility into the hardware architecture of their surveillance equipment.

For security-sensitive tenders, component origin and cybersecurity architecture may be considered alongside conventional CCTV specifications such as resolution and storage.

FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Security

Another major feature is the integrated:

FIPS 140-2 LEVEL 3 CERTIFIED SECURE ELEMENT

The recorder also provides security functions including:

SSL/TLS

User Authentication

Host Authentication

Alteration Detection

GlobalSign Certificate

Programmable User Levels

Camera-Level Access Permissions

This makes the WJ-NU301KG particularly attractive where CCTV is treated as part of the organisation’s cybersecurity infrastructure rather than as an isolated video recorder.

4K UHD HDMI Display

The main HDMI output supports:

3840 × 2160 4K UHD

while the secondary HDMI output supports up to Full HD.

A control-room configuration could therefore use:

Main 4K Security Monitor

Secondary Full-HD Monitor

This provides greater flexibility for professional security monitoring.

H.265 Recording

The WJ-NU301KG supports:

H.265 / H.264 / JPEG

H.265 provides more efficient video compression than older H.264 configurations under comparable conditions.

This can help reduce:

Storage Requirements

and

Network Bandwidth

while maintaining appropriate surveillance image quality.

ONVIF Camera Compatibility

The recorder supports:

i-PRO Network Cameras

and compatible:

ONVIF-Conformant Cameras / Encoders

This is useful when upgrading an existing CCTV installation where all cameras do not necessarily need to be replaced immediately.

However, ONVIF interoperability does not guarantee every proprietary function.

Features such as:

AI Analytics • Metadata • Audio • PTZ • Alarm Events • Advanced Search

should be checked against the exact third-party camera model and firmware before project confirmation.

RTSP Support

The recorder supports RTSP as part of its network protocol architecture.

This can be valuable for professional CCTV integration with compatible:

IP Cameras

Video Management Systems

Monitoring Platforms

Security Management Systems

Third-Party Applications

Compatibility testing is recommended for project-specific integrations.

Remote Monitoring

The NU series supports remote monitoring for compatible PC and mobile environments.

A typical architecture is:

i-PRO Cameras

↓

WJ-NU301KG

↓

Internet / Network

↓

Remote Monitoring

↓

PC / Mobile Device

User permissions can be configured to control which cameras and functions individual operators can access.

Up to 32 Users

The WJ-NU301KG supports:

Up to 32 Registered Users

with up to:

16 Simultaneous Users

and 3 programmable user levels.

This is useful for enterprise environments where access should be separated between:

Administrator

Security Manager

Security Officer

Remote User

Different users can be assigned different camera viewing and control permissions.

i-PRO Japan Brand

i-PRO Co., Ltd. is a Japanese company headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.

However, the phrase “NVR JAPAN” should not automatically be interpreted as “Made in Japan.”

Manufacturing origin can differ according to the exact product/model variant and production source. For tenders requiring a specific Country of Origin (COO), verify the unit label and obtain the applicable manufacturer’s or supplier’s COO documentation.

This distinction is important:

Japanese Brand ≠ Automatically Made in Japan

Using “i-PRO Japan Professional CCTV Brand” is therefore safer and more accurate SEO wording than making an unsupported country-of-manufacture claim.

Panasonic CCTV Heritage

Many customers still recognise the equipment under keywords such as:

Panasonic CCTV

Panasonic IP Camera

Panasonic NVR

Panasonic Network Video Recorder

i-PRO’s surveillance business has historical roots in Panasonic’s professional security operations.

For current product quotations, specifications and tenders, however, the manufacturer/brand should be identified according to the current product documentation:

i-PRO

This provides both accurate branding and continuity for customers replacing older Panasonic CCTV systems.

Upgrade Older Panasonic CCTV Systems

Older Panasonic surveillance installations may still contain serviceable:

IP Cameras

CAT6 Cabling

Network Infrastructure

Monitors

Server Racks

Depending on compatibility, a system upgrade may not require replacing every component.

SGCCTV can assess:

Existing Panasonic Cameras → Network Compatibility → ONVIF → New i-PRO NVR → Storage Requirements

before determining the appropriate replacement strategy.

NVR Repair & HDD Replacement

An NVR recording problem does not necessarily mean the complete recorder must be replaced.

Common problems include:

HDD Failure

RAID Degraded

No Recording

Camera Offline

PoE Port Failure

No HDMI Display

Network Failure

NVR Cannot Boot

Power Supply Fault

Storage Full

Incorrect Camera Password

Firmware / Compatibility Issues

Professional troubleshooting should check the complete path:

CAMERA → CAT6 → PoE → NVR → HDD → NETWORK → MONITOR

before replacing equipment.

Suitable for High-Security CCTV Projects

The WJ-NU301KG offers a strong combination of:

16CH + 16 PoE+ + 233W + 48TB + RAID 1 + 4K + NDAA + FIPS 140-2 Level 3

This positions it above many basic commercial NVRs where cybersecurity, recording resilience and procurement requirements are important considerations.

• IPRO NVR JAPAN WJ-NU301KG PANASONIC 16-ch 16-POE VIDEO RECORDER NDAA National Defense Authorization Act NDAA compliant

The i-PRO WJ-NU301KG Network Video Recorder is a professional 16-channel H.265 NVR with built-in 16-port PoE+ switch, designed for enterprise, commercial, infrastructure and high-security IP surveillance systems.

Formerly associated with the Panasonic security-camera business, i-PRO is now the surveillance brand and manufacturer. For current projects and SEO, it is better to identify the product primarily as i-PRO WJ-NU301KG, while “Panasonic CCTV / Panasonic NVR” can remain as a legacy search term.

A key advantage of the WJ-NU301KG is its security architecture. The recorder is specified as NDAA compliant, uses an Intel CPU, incorporates a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified Secure Element, supports encrypted communications, and is designed for professional installations where cybersecurity and system integrity are important.

Key Specifications

16-Channel Professional NVR

The WJ-NU301KG supports:

Up to 16 IP Cameras

making it suitable for surveillance systems in:

Commercial Buildings • Offices • Factories • Warehouses • Data Centres • Schools • Infrastructure • Transportation • Government Projects • High-Security Facilities

The recorder supports multiple image formats and resolutions, including 4K UHD 3840 × 2160.

Built-in 16-Port PoE+ Switch

One major advantage is the integrated:

16 × PoE+ Camera Ports

This eliminates the need for a separate PoE switch in many installations.

A straightforward architecture can be:

i-PRO IP Cameras × 16

↓

CAT6

↓

WJ-NU301KG Built-in PoE+

↓

Internal Recording

↓

HDMI Monitor / Network / Remote Monitoring

The recorder has a total PoE budget of up to 233W, with up to 30W available per individual port.

The total power consumption of all connected cameras should still be calculated during system design.

Up to 48TB CCTV Storage

The current WJ-NU301KG specification supports:

2 × 3.5-inch SATA HDD

with a maximum total capacity of:

48TB

This provides substantial recording capacity for a compact 16-channel NVR.

Older documentation may show lower maximum HDD capacities, so the recorder firmware, HDD compatibility list and supported drive sizes should be checked when upgrading an existing unit.

RAID 1 Recording Protection

The WJ-NU301KG supports:

RAID 1

With two suitable HDDs configured for RAID 1, surveillance data is mirrored across the drives.

For example:

HDD 1 ↔ HDD 2

If one drive fails, the mirrored architecture provides additional resilience compared with a single-disk recording configuration.

RAID should not be confused with a complete backup strategy, but it is valuable for surveillance applications where recording availability is important.

H.265 High-Efficiency Recording

The recorder supports:

H.265 / H.264 / JPEG

H.265 can significantly improve storage efficiency compared with older video-compression architectures, depending on camera configuration and scene conditions.

For CCTV projects requiring longer retention periods, storage should be calculated based on:

Number of Cameras × Resolution × FPS × Bitrate × Recording Hours × Retention Days

rather than selecting HDD capacity only by camera quantity.

4K HDMI CCTV Monitoring

The main HDMI output supports:

3840 × 2160 4K UHD

with additional Full HD display options.

The recorder also provides a secondary HDMI monitor output supporting up to Full HD.

This is useful where a security control room requires separate main and secondary monitoring displays.

NDAA Compliant NVR

A major selling point of the WJ-NU301KG is:

NDAA COMPLIANT

NDAA commonly refers in this CCTV context to procurement restrictions arising from the U.S. National Defense Authorization Act, particularly Section 889 requirements affecting certain telecommunications and video-surveillance equipment.

For projects that specify NDAA-compliant surveillance equipment, product selection therefore needs to consider not only camera resolution and recording performance but also the manufacturer, components and procurement requirements.

The WJ-NU301KG is specifically identified as an NDAA-compliant NVR with an Intel CPU.

Important

NDAA compliant does not mean “approved by the U.S. Department of Defense” or automatically approved for every government/security project.

A tender may contain additional cybersecurity, country-of-origin, certification, encryption, interoperability and agency-specific requirements.

FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Secure Element

The WJ-NU301KG incorporates a:

FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Certified Secure Element

This is an important distinction for cybersecurity-conscious surveillance projects.

The recorder’s security architecture also includes functions such as:

User Authentication

Host Authentication

SSL/TLS

Alteration Detection

GlobalSign Certificate

User Access Levels

Camera-Level Access Restrictions

These capabilities make the NU series particularly relevant where surveillance cybersecurity forms part of the project specification.

ONVIF Camera Compatibility

The WJ-NU301KG is designed primarily around i-PRO cameras but also supports compatible ONVIF-conformant network cameras and encoders.

This can be useful when upgrading an existing surveillance system.

For example:

Existing Compatible ONVIF Cameras

↓

WJ-NU301KG

↓

Gradual Migration to i-PRO Cameras

However, ONVIF compatibility does not guarantee that every proprietary camera feature will work.

Functions such as advanced analytics, metadata, alarm events, audio and PTZ behaviour should be verified using the exact camera model and firmware.

RTSP Integration

The NU-series architecture also supports RTSP, providing additional interoperability possibilities for professional IP-video systems.

This can be useful where the CCTV system needs to interface with compatible:

VMS Platforms

Monitoring Systems

Third-Party IP Cameras

Security Management Systems

Compatibility should always be tested against the actual project architecture.

Remote Monitoring

The WJ-NU301KG supports remote monitoring through i-PRO’s remote-monitoring architecture.

Authorised users can access compatible NU/NX recorders remotely through PC or mobile environments without relying solely on traditional router port-forwarding configurations.

This is useful for organisations managing several surveillance locations.

MP4 CCTV Evidence Export

Recorded footage can be copied to USB storage in:

Original Format / MP4

MP4 export is particularly useful when surveillance footage needs to be provided for incident review using a commonly supported multimedia format.

The recorder supports searching and playback functions including:

Date/Time Search

Timeline Playback

VMD Search

Thumbnail Search

Fast Forward / Reverse

Previous / Next Recording

Digital Zoom

User & Access Management

The recorder supports up to:

32 Registered Users

with up to:

16 Simultaneous Users

and three programmable user levels.

Camera access can also be restricted according to the user’s privileges.

This is important for enterprise installations where different departments may require different CCTV permissions.

For example:

Security Manager → Full Access

Security Officer → Live + Playback

Other User → Selected Cameras Only

CCTV Cybersecurity

Modern IP surveillance equipment is part of the organisation’s IT infrastructure.

An NVR should therefore not be treated simply as a video recorder.

A professional installation should consider:

Firmware Management

Strong Password Policy

User Permissions

Network Segmentation

HTTPS / SSL/TLS

NTP Time Synchronisation

Firewall Rules

Remote Access Control

Audit Logs

Physical Security

For government, critical infrastructure and enterprise projects, these considerations can be as important as image quality.

i-PRO vs Panasonic CCTV

Customers may still search for:

Panasonic CCTV

Panasonic NVR

Panasonic Security Camera

because Panasonic has a long history in professional video surveillance.

For current projects, however, the appropriate branding is:

i-PRO

Therefore, a suitable description is:

“i-PRO professional security surveillance solutions, originating from Panasonic’s security-system business heritage.”

This is more accurate than presenting a current WJ-NU301KG simply as a Panasonic-branded NVR.

NVR Repair & HDD Replacement Singapore

An NVR that has stopped recording does not necessarily require complete replacement.

Common problems include:

HDD Failure

HDD Bad Sectors

Recording Failure

PoE Camera Offline

No HDMI Display

Network Failure

NVR Cannot Boot

Power Supply Failure

RAID Degraded

Camera Authentication Failure

Storage Full

Firmware Issues

The complete system should be diagnosed:

CAMERA → CAT6 → PoE PORT → NVR → HDD → NETWORK → DISPLAY

before deciding which component requires replacement.

Upgrade Existing Panasonic / i-PRO CCTV

Older Panasonic surveillance installations may still have serviceable cameras and cabling.

Depending on compatibility, a migration project may retain some existing infrastructure while replacing:

Old NVR

Failed HDD

Legacy Cameras

Network Switches

Monitoring Workstations

This can reduce unnecessary replacement costs while allowing the surveillance system to transition toward a current i-PRO platform.

Suitable for Professional Security Projects

The WJ-NU301KG is particularly attractive for projects requiring a combination of:

16CH + PoE+ + 4K + RAID 1 + NDAA + FIPS Security + ONVIF

This makes it suitable for professional applications where a consumer-grade NVR may not satisfy the project’s cybersecurity, reliability or interoperability requirements.
