About Hikvision NVR
Hikvision NVRs are the central recording hub for your Hikvision IP camera system — receiving, storing, and managing footage from up to 32 cameras with H.265+ compression for efficient long-term storage. Every current Hikvision NVR supports AcuSense smart search, letting you filter playback by human or vehicle target type instead of scrubbing hours of footage manually.
Choose by series and channel count: M-Series (mainstream, cost-effective — ideal for 4–8 camera residential systems) or I-Series (advanced, more processing headroom for simultaneous AI analytics — ideal for 16+ camera commercial deployments). Built-in PoE switches eliminate the need for separate power injectors on most models.
Hikvision NVRs work with all Hikvision IP cameras and HiLook cameras via Hikvision's native protocol. For complete plug-and-play systems with NVR + cameras + HDD pre-installed, see Hikvision CCTV kits. Compare across all brands at all NVRs.

Hikvision NVR vs Dahua NVR vs HiLook NVR — Which to Choose?
Choose Hikvision NVR when you have or plan to buy Hikvision IP cameras — full AcuSense smart search and Hik-Connect ecosystem. Also the right choice if you want HiLook cameras on a premium-tier NVR (full native compatibility). Best installer support network in Australia.
Choose Dahua NVR when you have Dahua cameras (especially TiOC variants — control of siren/strobe requires a Dahua NVR) or when you want WizSense smart search and the DMSS app ecosystem.
Choose HiLook NVR for the lowest entry price within the Hikvision ecosystem. HiLook NVRs are fully compatible with Hikvision cameras — useful when budget matters but you want the option to upgrade cameras to Hikvision later.
Cross-compatibility: ONVIF protocol allows basic interop between brands, but advanced AI features (AcuSense smart search, WizSense classification, TiOC control) require brand-matched NVRs and cameras within the same vendor ecosystem.
Why Choose Hikvision NVR?
AcuSense Smart Search Built In
Find specific events in seconds. AcuSense automatically labels every human and vehicle detection in the timeline, letting you filter NVR playback by target type rather than scrubbing through hours of footage. Combined with AcuSense cameras, false events are filtered before they hit the NVR.
H.265+ Compression — More Days on the Same HDD
H.265+ reduces storage requirements significantly compared to H.264. A 4TB surveillance HDD typically holds approximately 30 days of continuous recording from 4 cameras at 6MP — and 3-5x longer with motion-only recording. Less storage spend, longer event retention.
Built-in PoE Switch — One Cable Per Camera
Most Hikvision NVRs include a built-in PoE switch with enough ports for the rated channel count. Plug each camera directly into the back of the NVR — no separate PoE switch, no power injectors, no electrician. Cleaner install, lower component cost.

Before you buy
What customers ask most before ordering from this range — and how we deliver.
How much storage do I need?
As a rule of thumb, four 8MP cameras recording 24/7 with H.265+ use about 2TB for 2 weeks of footage; switch to motion-only recording and that stretches to 4–6 weeks. Our kits ship with a 2TB, 4TB or 6TB surveillance drive and you can upgrade the drive on the kit page before checkout. Tell us how many days you need to keep and we'll recommend the size.
Can I mix different cameras on one NVR, or add more later?
Yes. You can mix 6MP and 8MP, or ColorVu and AcuSense, on the same NVR as long as the total bandwidth stays within the NVR's rating (we check this for every kit we sell). To add cameras later, just plug them into a spare PoE port on the NVR — no reconfiguration needed. This is why we suggest an 8-channel NVR even if you start with 4 cameras.
How long does delivery take?
Metro delivery usually takes 2–4 business days after dispatch, and regional areas may take longer. You'll receive a tracking number by email as soon as your order leaves the warehouse.
How much is shipping?
Standard shipping is free on all orders over $300 AUD, Australia-wide. Orders under $300 ship at a flat rate of $25, calculated at checkout. Tracking is included on every order.
What warranty do you offer?
All cameras, NVRs and DVRs come with a 3-year back-to-base manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Hard drives and accessories are covered as set out in our Warranty Policy.
What is your return policy?
You have 30 days from the day you receive your order to request a change-of-mind return. Items must be unopened, factory-sealed and in resalable condition. A 15% restocking fee applies and return postage is at your cost. Faulty or incorrectly supplied items are different: we cover the return shipping and refund or replace at no charge. Read the full Return & Refund Policy.
Is your Hikvision, Dahua, HiLook and TP-Link VIGI stock genuine Australian stock?
Yes, 100%. Every Hikvision, Dahua, HiLook and TP-Link VIGI product we sell is a genuine Australian-market model sourced through Australian supply chains — never grey imports. That means factory-sealed units, Australian-region firmware that works with the official apps out of the box, and a full 3-year local warranty.
