§ 01Overview
What the DS-7616NI-M2/16P is
The Hikvision DS-7616NI-M2/16P is a 16-channel M-Series recorder that comes ready to use with a 4TB surveillance hard drive fitted.
Its sixteen built-in PoE ports power and connect up to sixteen IP cameras over a single network cable each, so a full sixteen-camera system runs from one 1U unit without a separate switch, and it records cameras at resolutions up to 32MP with 256 Mbps of incoming bandwidth.
It carries Australian AcuSense firmware, so paired with Hikvision AcuSense cameras it classifies movement as a person or vehicle and filters out irrelevant motion such as wind-blown trees, rain and shadows.
It records efficiently with Smart H.265+, outputs 8K over HDMI alongside a 1080p VGA feed, and works with the current generation of AcuSense, ColorVu and TandemVu cameras.
Storage comes included: the 4TB drive gives a solid base for a sixteen-camera system, and a second SATA bay is free so you can add another drive as retention needs grow.
The sixteen PoE ports share up to 200 W in total, which suits typical Hikvision cameras; if every camera is a high-draw dual-light or motorised model running its light at night, spread the load or use a separate injector for the heaviest.
It is genuine Australian Hikvision stock with local warranty and support, viewed remotely on the free Hik-Connect app.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DS-7616NI-M2/16P
Sixteen cameras built in
Sixteen PoE ports power and connect a full camera set over single cables, so the system runs from one 1U unit with no separate switch.
AcuSense smart alerts
Australian AcuSense firmware filters motion to people and vehicles with AcuSense cameras, cutting false alerts and speeding up footage searches.
Room to grow
Records up to 32MP and has a free second SATA bay, so it keeps up as you add higher-resolution cameras or more storage.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Medium business systems
Run up to sixteen cameras across entries, floors, car parks and stock areas without adding a network switch.
Larger homes and acreage
Cover the house, sheds, gates and yard with up to sixteen cameras on one recorder, recording from day one.
Sites using AcuSense
Pair with AcuSense cameras for people-and-vehicle filtering across the whole system.
Staged rollouts
Start with a handful of cameras and grow to sixteen channels, adding a second drive as retention needs increase.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What's in the box
One DS-7616NI-M2/16P recorder with a 4TB surveillance hard drive fitted, power adaptor and mouse. Cameras, network cable and a monitor are not included.
Installation requirements
Run Cat5e or Cat6 from the sixteen PoE ports to each camera (within about 100 m), connect the NVR to a monitor by HDMI and to your router for remote access, then add it to Hik-Connect. The 4TB drive is pre-fitted; add a second SATA drive if you want more storage. For high-draw cameras, check the 200 W PoE budget and use a separate injector where needed.
