See full description

  • Type

    NVR

    Recorder that uses IP cameras and network connection for video recording and management.

  • Number of Channels

    The maximum number of cameras that can be connected to and managed by the recorder

  • Resolution

    4K

    The highest resolution available on the market (also known as 8 Megapixels). It offers 4 times more detail than Full HD. This is cinematic quality that allows for maximum possible zoom to recognize critical details, even from a great distance.

  • Incoming Bandwidth

    This is the actual processing power of the recorder. It determines how much "load" (data) it can handle simultaneously from all cameras. A high number is necessary for many channels at high 4K resolution.


    • Example 1: You have 4 cameras of 5MP (each requiring ~8 Mbps). A total of ~32 Mbps is required. An NVR with 80 Mbps Incoming Bandwidth is more than enough.
    • Example 2: You have 16 cameras of 4K (each requiring ~12 Mbps). A total of ~192 Mbps is required. An NVR with 160 Mbps is not enough and will "lose" cameras or reduce their quality. Here, you need an NVR with at least 256 Mbps.

    160

  • HDD Slots

    The number of internal hard drives (SATA) that can be installed simultaneously in the recorder.

  • Maximum Capacity per Disk

    The maximum size (in TB - Terabytes) of the hard drive that the device "recognizes" and supports in each slot.

  • Ports

    VGA

    An analog video output. Used to connect the recorder to older computer monitors.

    HDMI

    The digital output for video and audio. It is the standard way to connect the recorder to a modern TV or monitor (PC) and view your cameras in high resolution.

    Alarm Input

    Physical ports (terminals) that allow external sensors (e.g., door magnetic contact, radar) to send a "command" to the recorder (e.g., "The door just opened, start recording or send a notification").

    Alarm Output

    Physical ports (terminals) that allow the recorder to give a "command" to external devices. For example, "As soon as I detect a person, activate an external siren or turn on the lights."

    USB

    Its main use is to connect a mouse for menu navigation and settings. Additionally, it is used to connect a USB stick (flash drive) in order to export (take a backup of) specific video clips that interest you.

  • Video Compression

    H.265

    Advanced codec with approximately 50% better compression than H.264 for the same quality. Ideal for 4K and 8K content, supports HDR and UHD, significantly reducing the required bandwidth.

    • The standard supports approximately 30–35 days of continuous recording on a 2TB hard drive

    (The values and durations are indicative and based on standard settings. Actual performance may vary depending on resolution, frame rate, scene motion, and hardware.)

Description

Description

Compression & Flexibility

The Hikvision DS-7616NI-I2 recorder supports H.265+ compression, which is an advanced technology that effectively reduces storage space and costs by up to 75%. It also supports full channel recording at resolutions up to 12MP. ANR technology enhances storage reliability when the network is disconnected. It can also connect with third-party network cameras, which is very useful for expanding the security system.

Playback & Smart Features

It features independent HDMI and VGA outputs that can provide HDMI video output at resolutions up to 4K (3840 x 2160). It supports up to 2 SATA interfaces for HDD connection and 16-channel playback at resolutions up to 1080p. Smart search is also supported for efficient video playback and smart playback to enhance playback efficiency. Multiple VCA (Video Content Analytics) events are supported, as well as VCA search for detecting fire/ship/temperature/temperature difference that triggers video files. The device is compatible with Hik-Connect for easy network management and features a Gigabit Ethernet network interface.

    At this price, there is no 12 MP recorder with 16 ports.

    The manufacturer states up to a 10 TB hard drive and records up to 8 MP camera

    Purchased in September 2020 for 280€. I added 2 hard drives of 4GB each (+200€/WD Purple - it can take up to 2x6GB but the 6GB ones are economically unaffordable) and so far I haven't had any issues. I already had the DS-7608NI-K2, two years without any problems, and I noticed a big difference in capabilities and ease of use (although they look identical). I should note that all the cameras it works with are from HIKVISION. The capabilities of the cooperating cameras also play a role in exhausting the capabilities of the NVR, in order to assess the responsiveness of the recorder, which (connected cameras) are relatively simple, relatively affordable, and therefore I don't have an opinion on evaluating a significant part of the recorder's capabilities. The noise is not non-existent but (subjectively) tolerable and necessary due to the hard drive, it's not something you would have in your bedroom. In absolute silence conditions, the noise will be bothersome, but not in the usual mobility conditions of a residence. It should also be noted that the hard drives do not work simultaneously - increasing the noise, that is - one works until it fills up and the other is in sleep mode
