HiLook DVR-216G-M1/T 16-Channel 1080p Lite Turbo HD DVR

The HiLook DVR-216G-M1/T is a 16-channel hybrid digital video recorder from HiLook's Turbo HD 1080p Lite range. As a 5-in-1 recorder, it accepts HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI, CVBS and IP camera inputs, making it a flexible and cost-effective option for new installations and for upgrading existing analogue systems.

It records up to sixteen cameras at 1080p Lite and can additionally connect IP cameras, using efficient H.265 compression to keep bandwidth and storage requirements low.

5-in-1 Hybrid Recording

The DVR-216G-M1/T adaptively accepts five signal types — HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI, CVBS and IP — so it works with almost any analogue or Turbo HD camera and can also add network cameras. This flexibility protects your existing camera investment when upgrading a recorder.

1080p Lite Recording

The recorder records all channels at 1080p Lite resolution (15 fps), providing clear Full HD-class footage suited to general residential and commercial monitoring, while keeping storage requirements modest.

Deep-Learning Motion Detection 2.0

Deep-learning Motion Detection 2.0 classifies human and vehicle targets on all analogue channels, so notifications are triggered only by people or vehicles rather than by leaves, lights or animals. This greatly reduces false alarms and supports quick search by object or event type.

Remote Access and Storage

Remote viewing, playback and motion notifications are available anywhere through the Hik-Connect app. A single SATA bay supports a hard drive (sold separately) with smart search for efficient playback.
