Ultra HD 4K & 8MP Decoding

Supports up to 8MP resolution recording with local 4K HDMI video display output, ensuring sharp details during both live monitoring and playback.

Smart H.265+ Data Efficiency

Uses smart compression algorithms to reduce file sizes substantially while retaining video quality, extending total hard drive recording days.

Dual SATA Storage Bays

Equipped with 2 SATA hard disk interfaces supporting up to 8TB capacity per drive (up to 16TB total) for long-term surveillance archiving.

High-Throughput 160 Mbps Bandwidth

Robust 160 Mbps incoming and 80 Mbps outgoing network throughput guarantees fluid multi-channel high-definition video streams without delay.

Mobile Control via HiLookVision

Connect effortlessly with the HiLookVision mobile app or PC client software for easy live viewing, instant event notifications, and video searches.

Buyer Decision Tips

Calculating Hard Drive Requirements: For a 16-camera setup running continuously at 4MP to 8MP, equipping both SATA bays with high-capacity surveillance HDDs (e.g., 2x 4TB or 2x 8TB Western Digital Purple / Seagate SkyHawk) is recommended for adequate retention.
PoE Power Budget Management: The NVR supplies up to 150W total PoE power across its 16 ports. Ensure connected IP cameras fit within this total power envelope, especially when using models with active white lights or heating elements.
Camera Compatibility: Optimised for HiLook IP cameras and fully compatible with standard ONVIF protocol cameras, enabling flexible integration into existing network surveillance setups.
Display Connectivity: Utilize the HDMI output port connected to a 4K monitor or TV to take full advantage of native high-resolution live monitoring.

Choosing the Right Model

Choose this model if…

  • You require a cost-effective 16-channel NVR with 16 integrated PoE ports.
  • You plan to use up to 8MP (4K) IP cameras for high-definition video surveillance.
  • You need dual SATA drive bays to support extended recording retention (up to 16TB).
  • You want easy plug-and-play PoE cabling without extra external network switches.
  • You want remote smartphone live viewing via HiLookVision software.

Choose a different model if…

  • You need a smaller 4 or 8-channel system. Consider the HiLook NVR-104MH-C/4P or NVR-108MH-C/8P NVR models.
  • You need advanced AI analytics built directly into the NVR. Select a Hikvision AcuSense NVR (e.g. DS-7616NXI-K2/16P).
  • You require 4 or more SATA HDD bays. Look at a 4-SATA rack-mount Hikvision NVR series.
