Hikvision DS-7616NI-M2/16P 16-Channel 1U 8K Network Video Recorder with 16 Built-In PoE Ports
The Hikvision DS-7616NI-M2/16P is a professional 16-channel M-Series 8K Network Video Recorder (NVR) featuring 16 integrated PoE camera ports, ultra-high-definition HDMI output, advanced H.265+ video compression and expandable surveillance storage.
Designed for professional security installers, commercial premises, warehouses, offices and high-performance residential CCTV systems, this Hikvision NVR combines reliable IP camera recording, high network bandwidth and powerful video decoding capabilities in a compact 1U chassis.
The recorder supports up to 16 compatible IP security cameras and includes 16 built-in Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports, allowing compatible cameras to connect directly to the recorder using network cables.
Its integrated PoE interfaces support IEEE 802.3af/at devices and provide a combined 200W PoE power budget for compatible connected cameras.
With 256 Mbps incoming bandwidth and 256 Mbps outgoing bandwidth, the DS-7616NI-M2/16P provides high-capacity recording and network video transmission for professionally configured 16-camera IP surveillance systems.
The recorder supports compatible IP camera recording resolutions up to 32MP, subject to the manufacturer's bandwidth, decoding and camera compatibility requirements. High-resolution 24MP and 32MP camera inputs are subject to specific channel limitations.
For local surveillance monitoring, the DS-7616NI-M2/16P supports 8K HDMI video output at up to 7680 × 4320 at 30Hz, together with 4K HDMI output at up to 3840 × 2160 at 60Hz.
The recorder also provides an independent VGA output supporting Full HD resolution and a CVBS output for compatible analogue video monitoring applications.
Advanced H.265+, H.265, H.264+ and H.264 video compression helps optimise recording storage requirements and network bandwidth when supported by connected cameras.
The recorder includes two internal SATA interfaces, supporting compatible surveillance hard drives with manufacturer-specified capacities of up to 16TB per drive. This provides a maximum supported internal storage capacity of 32TB using two compatible 16TB surveillance hard drives.
Important: This listing is for the network video recorder without a hard drive. Compatible surveillance HDD storage must be purchased and installed separately for local video recording.
The DS-7616NI-M2/16P supports 16-channel synchronous playback, allowing authorised users to review recorded footage from all 16 connected cameras.
Its high-performance video decoding capabilities support multiple high-resolution streams, including up to ten 8MP streams at 30fps, twenty 4MP streams at 30fps or forty 1080p streams at 30fps under the manufacturer's specified decoding configurations. These decoding figures do not increase the recorder's 16-camera input limit.
Additional professional functions include compatible camera-based video content analytics, motion detection, intrusion detection, line-crossing detection, ANPR, people counting, heat maps and point-of-sale integration.
These intelligent functions depend on the capabilities of connected cameras, supported firmware and system configuration. The DS-7616NI-M2/16P is an M-Series recorder and does not provide the dedicated AcuSeek natural-language video search functionality of Hikvision VPro models.
The recorder also supports Hik-Connect remote monitoring, compatible third-party IP camera integration, ONVIF and RTSP connectivity, network security functions, alarm input/output connectivity and USB video backup.
Combining 16 IP camera channels, 16 built-in PoE ports, 200W PoE power, 256 Mbps incoming bandwidth, 8K HDMI output, 4K 60Hz monitoring and up to 32TB internal storage support, the Hikvision DS-7616NI-M2/16P provides a dependable recording solution for professional 16-camera IP CCTV installations.
Three-year recorder warranty applies subject to applicable terms. Surveillance hard drives are sold separately and carry their own warranty.
