§ 01Overview

What the NVR-216MH-K is

The HiLook NVR-216MH-K/16P is a 16-channel Pro-series network video recorder for larger Australian homes, retail sites and small commercial installs that need plenty of cameras with AI and generous storage. Sixteen built-in PoE ports (up to 200W total) power and connect up to sixteen IP cameras over a single cable each.

As a K-series recorder it runs facial recognition (up to 16 face libraries holding 20,000 faces), perimeter protection, and human and vehicle Motion Detection 2.0 to cut false alarms. ANPR and VCA are available when paired with compatible AI cameras. Per HiLook's design the AI modes are allocated across channels rather than every channel at once.

The datasheet rates recording and decoding up to 12MP (2-ch @ 12MP or 4-ch @ 8MP), covering HiLook's 8MP cameras with headroom. Two SATA bays accept drives up to 16TB each for up to 32TB total, a 4K HDMI output and independent VGA drive two monitors, and H.265+ compression keeps storage down. It is supplied without hard drives, so you size storage to your retention.

§ 04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the NVR-216MH-K

Sixteen PoE ports built in

Connect and power up to sixteen cameras straight from the recorder, with no separate PoE switch for most installs.

Face recognition plus perimeter

The K-series adds facial recognition (16 libraries, 20,000 faces) and perimeter protection on top of human/vehicle detection.

Up to 32TB on two drives

Two SATA bays of up to 16TB each give up to 32TB, so a 16-camera system can keep weeks of footage.

12MP headroom

Decodes up to 12MP, so it handles HiLook's 8MP range now and leaves room as cameras improve.

§ 05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Larger homes and estates

Run up to sixteen PoE cameras across house, sheds and gates with AI alerts and long retention.

Retail and hospitality

Cover floors, entries, stockrooms and car parks with face capture and perimeter rules.

Small commercial sites

Centralise cameras for offices, clinics and workshops on one 4K recorder.

Multi-zone installs
