The HiLook DVR-216Q-M1/T is a 16-channel Turbo HD digital video recorder that supports five signal types — HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI, CVBS (analogue) and IP — in a single unit. Recording coax cameras up to 5MP with efficient H.265 Pro+ compression and deep-learning Motion Detection 2.0, it is a versatile and affordable recorder for upgrading or expanding analogue CCTV systems.
HiLook DVR-216Q-M1/T 16-Channel 5MP Turbo HD DVR
The HiLook DVR-216Q-M1/T is a 16-channel hybrid digital video recorder from HiLook's Turbo HD range. As a 5-in-1 recorder, it accepts HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI, CVBS and IP camera inputs, making it one of the most flexible options for both new installations and upgrades of existing analogue systems.
It records up to sixteen coax cameras and can additionally connect IP cameras, using efficient H.265 Pro+ compression to keep storage costs low while maintaining clear footage.
5-in-1 Hybrid Recording
The DVR-216Q-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 for a hybrid system. This flexibility protects your existing camera investment when upgrading a recorder.
Up to 5MP Recording
The recorder supports coax camera inputs up to 5MP, capturing more detail than standard 1080p systems. H.265 Pro+ compression significantly reduces bandwidth and storage requirements compared with older H.264 recorders.
Deep-Learning Motion Detection 2.0
Deep-learning Motion Detection 2.0 classifies human and vehicle targets, so notifications are triggered only by people or vehicles rather than by leaves, lights or animals. This greatly reduces false alarms and makes reviewing footage more efficient with quick search by object or event type.
Audio over Coax and Remote Access
The DVR supports Audio over Coax (AoC), capturing audio through the camera's coaxial cable with compatible cameras — no separate audio wiring required. Remote viewing, playback and motion notifications are available anywhere through the Hik-Connect app.
Reliable Storage
A single SATA bay supports a hard drive of up to 10TB (sold separately), with smart search for efficient playback of recorded events.
