Hikvision HiLook NVR-108MH-C/8P 8 Channel 4K PoE Network Video Recorder with 4TB HDD
The HiLook NVR-108MH-C/8P is a professional 8-channel, 8-PoE, 4K Network Video Recorder supplied by Civic Electronic with a 4TB surveillance hard drive included.
Designed for residential and commercial IP CCTV installations, this HiLook D Series NVR combines eight built-in PoE camera ports, intelligent motion detection, H.265+ video compression and high-resolution 4K HDMI output.
Manufactured by HiLook, a Hikvision security equipment brand, the recorder provides reliable centralised recording for compatible IP surveillance cameras.
With eight IP camera channels and eight built-in PoE ports, the NVR allows installers to connect up to eight compatible PoE cameras directly to the recorder.
Unlike eight-channel recorders with only four built-in PoE ports, the NVR-108MH-C/8P provides a dedicated physical PoE connection for every camera channel.
Its integrated PoE interfaces simplify CCTV installation by allowing compatible cameras to receive network data and electrical power through a single Ethernet cable.
The recorder supports IEEE 802.3af/at PoE standards, with a combined power budget of up to 75W across its eight PoE interfaces.
The NVR supports compatible IP security cameras with recording resolutions up to 8MP (4K), including popular 4MP, 5MP, 6MP and 8MP models.
With a maximum 80 Mbps incoming bandwidth, the recorder is designed to handle multiple compatible camera streams within its supported recording capacity.
The 4K HDMI output supports display resolutions up to 3840 × 2160 at 30Hz, providing detailed surveillance monitoring on compatible 4K displays.
A separate VGA interface supports additional local display connectivity, with HDMI and VGA providing simultaneous video output.
The recorder supports H.265+ video compression, helping reduce recording storage requirements when used with compatible cameras.
For immediate recording capability, this product configuration includes a 4TB surveillance hard drive, eliminating the need to purchase a separate HDD for the initial installation.
The NVR features one internal SATA hard drive interface supporting compatible surveillance HDDs up to 8TB.
The included 4TB HDD provides a practical starting point for multi-camera CCTV recording. Actual footage retention depends on camera count, resolution, frame rate, bitrate, compression settings and recording schedule.
The D Series recorder supports Motion Detection 2.0 with human and vehicle classification on up to four channels, helping identify relevant security events and reduce unnecessary motion notifications.
Intelligent human and vehicle classification can help distinguish relevant activity from general movement, improving the efficiency of CCTV event monitoring.
The recorder supports eight-channel synchronous playback, allowing operators to review recorded footage from multiple cameras.
Compatible cameras can record video and supported audio streams, providing additional context when reviewing surveillance incidents.
The NVR includes an RCA audio output and a compatible two-way audio interface for supported external audio configurations.
Its compact 1U-style chassis is designed for secure indoor installation in homes, offices, retail premises, warehouses and other commercial environments.
For professional security installers, electricians and system integrators, the HiLook NVR-108MH-C/8P with 4TB HDD offers a convenient combination of eight recording channels, eight built-in PoE ports, 4K recording support and included surveillance storage.
Important: This product includes one 4TB surveillance hard drive. The recorder supports a maximum of one internal HDD up to 8TB. Cameras, Ethernet cables and monitors are not included unless specifically stated.
Three-year Australian warranty applies to the NVR. The included 4TB hard drive carries a separate one-year warranty, subject to applicable terms.
