Hikvision DS-7616NI-Q2/16P – 16-Channel 1U 16 PoE 4K Network Video Recorder
The Hikvision DS-7616NI-Q2/16P is a 16-channel 1U NVR designed for mid-sized installations that need a larger camera count in one enclosure. Specifically, it accepts up to 16 IP camera inputs, and its 16 built-in PoE ports power connected cameras directly, so no separate switch is needed. As a result, installers wire an entire 16-camera system through the recorder alone.
In addition, the recorder supports H.265+/H.265/H.264+/H.264 compression, which keeps storage use efficient across a large channel count. Meanwhile, two SATA interfaces accept drives up to 8 TB each, giving up to 16 TB of total capacity for extended recording. Furthermore, built-in Motion Detection 2.0 and VCA support flag human and vehicle movement across 4 channels, which in turn reduces false alerts. On top of that, the HDMI output reaches 4K resolution, so a single monitor delivers sharp local playback, while simultaneous VGA output supports a second display option.

Who This NVR Suits Best
- Mid-sized commercial premises – 16 PoE channels cover a full retail floor, warehouse, or office building without adding a second recorder.
- Gated estates with extensive perimeters – Motion Detection 2.0 and VCA events reduce false alerts across multiple boundary and gate cameras.
- Sites needing long-term retention – dual 8 TB SATA bays give up to 16 TB of on-device storage, suiting businesses that must keep footage for weeks or months.
