HiLook NVR-216MH-K/16P 16-Channel 4K PoE AI Network Video Recorder
The HiLook NVR-216MH-K/16P is a 16-channel network video recorder from HiLook's Pro K-series, with sixteen integrated Power-over-Ethernet ports for plug-and-play connection and power to up to sixteen IP cameras. Its advanced AI capabilities set it apart from entry-level recorders, making it ideal for installations that require intelligent detection and search.
Supporting camera resolutions up to 8MP with H.265+ compression and dual-drive storage, it captures high-detail footage while providing powerful analytics at both device and camera level.
16 Built-In PoE Ports
The recorder provides 16 self-adaptive PoE ports (IEEE 802.3af/at), so each IP camera connects with a single cable carrying both data and power — removing the need for a separate PoE switch and simplifying larger installations.
Advanced Onboard AI
As a Pro K-series recorder, it includes advanced AI analytics including facial recognition, ANPR (licence plate recognition), perimeter protection and human/vehicle detection. It can manage up to 20,000 face pictures across 16 libraries, enabling powerful face search and comparison.
4K Recording and Dual Storage
The NVR supports IP cameras up to 8MP and outputs 4K (3840 × 2160) via HDMI with a simultaneous VGA output. Two SATA bays allow two hard drives for greater storage capacity and recording retention.
Efficient H.265+ Compression
H.265+ compression reduces storage requirements by up to 75% compared with H.264, allowing longer retention across the dual-drive storage.
Flexible Connectivity
The recorder supports ONVIF for third-party camera compatibility and remote access via HiLookVision / Hik-Connect for live view, playback and notifications from anywhere.
