HiLook NVR-104MH-C/4P(D) 4 Channel 4K PoE Network Video Recorder – Latest D Series
The Hikvision HiLook NVR-104MH-C/4P(D) is a professional 4-channel 4K PoE Network Video Recorder designed for reliable residential and small commercial IP CCTV surveillance systems.
Featuring four IP camera recording channels and four built-in PoE ports, this HiLook D Series NVR provides a convenient solution for connecting, powering and recording compatible network security cameras.
Developed by HiLook, a Hikvision security equipment brand, the NVR-104MH-C/4P(D) combines high-definition surveillance recording, efficient video compression, intelligent motion detection and flexible network connectivity.
The recorder supports up to four compatible IP cameras, including supported 4MP, 5MP, 6MP and 8MP models.
Its four integrated PoE interfaces allow compatible cameras to receive power and network data through a single Ethernet cable, reducing installation complexity.
The built-in PoE interfaces support IEEE 802.3af/at standards with a shared power budget of up to 50W.
With support for recording resolutions up to 8MP, the recorder is suitable for compatible 4K surveillance cameras.
The 4K HDMI output supports resolutions up to 3840 × 2160 at 30Hz, providing high-resolution monitoring through a compatible display.
A separate VGA connection provides additional local monitoring flexibility, with simultaneous HDMI and VGA video output.
The NVR supports 40 Mbps incoming bandwidth, allowing recording from multiple compatible IP cameras within the manufacturer's specified bandwidth limits.
With 80 Mbps outgoing bandwidth, the recorder supports compatible network video transmission and remote monitoring applications.
Advanced H.265+ video compression helps reduce surveillance storage requirements compared with less efficient compression formats when supported by connected cameras.
The recorder includes one SATA hard drive interface, supporting a compatible surveillance HDD with a maximum capacity of 8TB.
Installers can select the appropriate surveillance storage capacity according to the number of cameras, recording resolution, bitrate and required retention period.
The D Series revision supports Motion Detection 2.0, including one channel of NVR-based human and vehicle target classification.
This intelligent motion analysis helps identify relevant activity and can reduce unnecessary event notifications caused by unrelated movement.
Compatible intelligent IP cameras can also provide supported camera-side video analytics, including motion detection, line crossing and intrusion detection.
The recorder supports four-channel synchronous playback, allowing operators to review recorded footage from multiple cameras.
Smart search and smart playback functions help locate relevant recordings more efficiently.
The NVR supports compatible HiLook and Hikvision IP cameras, making it suitable for new installations and selected recorder upgrades.
HiLookVision support provides compatible network management and remote monitoring functionality when correctly configured.
The compact Mini 1U chassis is suitable for secure indoor installation in homes, offices, shops and small commercial premises.
For Australian security installers and system integrators, the NVR-104MH-C/4P(D) provides a practical combination of 4-channel recording, 4 PoE ports, 4K camera support, intelligent motion detection and expandable surveillance storage.
Important: This product is supplied without a surveillance hard drive unless an HDD-equipped variant is specifically selected. IP cameras, network cables and monitors are not included.
Three-year Australian warranty on eligible HiLook network video recorders, subject to applicable warranty terms. Surveillance hard drives carry a separate warranty.
