HiLook NVR-104MH-K/4P 4 Channel 4K AI Network Video Recorder with 4 PoE Ports – K Series

Hikvision HiLook NVR-104MH-K/4P 4 Channel 4K AI Network Video Recorder with 4 PoE Ports

The HiLook NVR-104MH-K/4P is a professional 4-channel, 4-PoE, 1U K Series AcuSense 4K Network Video Recorder designed for intelligent IP CCTV surveillance systems.

Developed by HiLook, a Hikvision security equipment brand, this advanced NVR combines high-resolution network video recording, intelligent security analytics, integrated PoE connectivity and expandable surveillance storage.

The recorder supports up to four compatible IP security cameras, making it suitable for residential, retail, office and small commercial CCTV installations.

With four built-in PoE ports for its four recording channels, compatible PoE cameras can connect directly to the recorder without requiring a separate PoE switch.

Each connected compatible camera can receive electrical power and network data through a single Ethernet cable, simplifying professional CCTV installation.

The integrated PoE interfaces support IEEE 802.3af/at standards, with a shared power budget of up to 50W.

The NVR supports recording resolutions up to 12MP, providing flexibility for compatible 4MP, 5MP, 6MP, 8MP and higher-resolution IP cameras.

Its 4K HDMI output supports display resolutions up to 3840 × 2160 at 30Hz, allowing detailed local monitoring through a compatible 4K display.

The recorder also provides a VGA output, with simultaneous HDMI and VGA display capability.

With 40 Mbps incoming bandwidth, the recorder supports multi-camera recording when the combined video bitrates remain within its supported capacity.

An 80 Mbps outgoing bandwidth specification supports compatible network video transmission and remote monitoring configurations.

Advanced H.265+ video compression helps reduce storage consumption and bandwidth requirements when used with compatible cameras.

The NVR includes one internal SATA hard drive interface, supporting a compatible surveillance hard drive with a maximum capacity of 16TB.

This allows installers to select suitable recording storage according to camera resolution, recording schedules, compression settings and required footage retention periods.

The NVR-104MH-K/4P incorporates intelligent AcuSense analytics, including supported human and vehicle recognition, perimeter protection and facial analysis functions.

Its NVR-based perimeter protection supports analysis of one compatible video channel at the manufacturer's specified 4MP processing capacity.

Human and vehicle classification can help reduce unnecessary security alerts by distinguishing relevant targets from unrelated environmental movement.

The recorder also supports selected facial detection and face picture comparison functions for compatible security applications.

Facial analytics and perimeter protection use the recorder's AI processing resources, so their availability and simultaneous operation depend on the selected configuration.

The recorder supports Motion Detection 2.0 integration with compatible intelligent cameras, providing additional tools for identifying relevant security events.

Its smart search and smart playback capabilities help operators locate and review selected recorded events more efficiently.

The NVR supports four-channel synchronous playback, allowing recorded footage from multiple cameras to be reviewed through the playback interface.

Compatibility with ONVIF Profiles S and G supports integration with suitable third-party IP cameras.

A dedicated network interface allows connection to compatible local networks for authorised remote viewing, configuration and system management.

The compact 1U-style chassis is suitable for secure indoor installation where a space-efficient surveillance recorder is required.

For professional security installers, electricians and system integrators, the HiLook NVR-104MH-K/4P offers a combination of four recording channels, four built-in PoE ports, 4K monitoring, intelligent analytics and expandable HDD storage.

Important: This listing is for the NVR without an included surveillance hard drive unless a specific Shopify variant states otherwise. The recorder supports one compatible SATA HDD up to 16TB. Cameras, cables and monitors are sold separately.

Three-year Australian NVR warranty applies subject to applicable terms. Any separately purchased HDD carries its own applicable warranty.
