Hikvision HiLook NVR-104MH-C/4P D Series 4 Channel 4K PoE Network Video Recorder with 2TB HDD
The HiLook NVR-104MH-C/4P(D) is a professional 4-channel 4K Network Video Recorder featuring four built-in Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports, intelligent Motion Detection 2.0, H.265+ video compression and high-resolution HDMI output.
Supplied by Civic Electronic with a 2TB surveillance hard drive included, this recorder provides a practical recording solution for residential and small commercial IP CCTV installations.
Developed by HiLook, a Hikvision security equipment brand, the NVR-104MH-C/4P(D) is designed for professional security installers, electricians and system integrators requiring reliable network video recording.
The recorder supports up to four compatible IP security cameras, making it suitable for monitoring homes, small businesses, retail premises, offices and workshops.
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 compatible camera receives power and network data through a single Ethernet cable, simplifying CCTV system installation.
The recorder supports IEEE 802.3af/at PoE standards with a shared PoE power budget of up to 50W.
With support for IP cameras up to 8MP (4K) resolution, the NVR is suitable for high-definition CCTV systems requiring detailed surveillance footage.
The recorder supports popular camera resolutions including 4MP, 5MP, 6MP and 8MP, subject to camera compatibility and available recording bandwidth.
Its 4K HDMI output allows high-resolution monitoring through a compatible display, while the VGA output provides an additional local display connection.
The HDMI and VGA outputs support simultaneous video output, providing flexibility for local surveillance monitoring.
The NVR provides 40 Mbps incoming bandwidth and 80 Mbps outgoing bandwidth, supporting compatible multi-camera recording and network video transmission.
Advanced H.265+ video compression helps reduce surveillance storage requirements when supported by connected cameras.
This package includes a 2TB surveillance hard drive, providing recording storage for the initial CCTV installation.
The recorder includes one internal SATA hard drive interface supporting compatible surveillance HDDs up to 8TB.
Actual recording duration depends on camera count, resolution, frame rate, bitrate, compression settings and recording schedule.
The D Series supports Motion Detection 2.0, including NVR-based human and vehicle classification on one supported channel.
Compatible intelligent cameras can also provide supported camera-side detection events, including motion detection and selected video content analytics.
These intelligent features help installers configure more relevant security alerts and improve the efficiency of reviewing recorded footage.
The recorder supports four-channel synchronous playback, allowing operators to review recorded video from multiple cameras.
Its compact Mini 1U chassis is suitable for secure indoor installation where a space-efficient CCTV recording solution is required.
For Australian security professionals, the HiLook NVR-104MH-C/4P(D) with 2TB HDD offers a convenient combination of four recording channels, four PoE ports, 4K camera support, intelligent motion detection and included surveillance storage.
Important: This package includes one 2TB surveillance hard drive. The recorder supports one internal SATA HDD up to 8TB. IP cameras, network cables and monitors are not included unless specifically stated.
