§ 01Overview
What the NVR-216MH-C-16P is
The HiLook NVR-216MH-C-16P is a value 16-channel network video recorder with sixteen built-in PoE ports, aimed at homes and small businesses that want a larger camera count without a separate switch. Each PoE port powers and connects an IP camera over one network cable, and the recorder accepts cameras up to 8MP with 160 Mbps of incoming bandwidth.
It outputs 4K over HDMI alongside a 1080p VGA feed, records efficiently with H.265+, and includes HiLook's Motion Detection 2.0, which classifies movement as a person or vehicle on up to four channels to reduce false motion alerts. Two things are worth knowing before you buy: the recorder is supplied without a hard drive, so add a surveillance drive (up to 8TB per bay, two bays) to record; and the total PoE power budget is 150 W across all sixteen ports, which is ample for typical cameras but can be tight if every camera is a high-draw model running infrared at night — spread heavy loads or use a separate injector for the highest-power cameras.
You watch live and play back from anywhere with the free Hik-Connect app.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the NVR-216MH-C-16P
4K recording on a budget
Records up to 8MP and outputs 4K over HDMI, with H.265+ to keep storage and bandwidth down — a lot of capability for a value NVR.
Smarter motion alerts
Motion Detection 2.0 classifies people and vehicles on up to four channels, so key areas raise fewer false alarms.
Size your own storage
Two SATA bays up to 8TB each let you fit exactly the storage your system needs rather than paying for a drive you may outgrow.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Larger homes and acreage
Cover the house, sheds, gates and yard with up to sixteen cameras on a single recorder.
Small to medium business
Run a full set of cameras over entries, floors and car parks without adding a network switch.
Multi-building sites
Bring sixteen cameras across nearby buildings back to one recorder over PoE cabling.
Staged rollouts
Start with a few cameras and grow to sixteen channels over time, adding storage as the system expands.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What's in the box
One NVR-216MH-C-16P recorder, power supply and mouse. A hard drive, cameras, network cable and a monitor are not included — add at least one surveillance drive before use.
Installation requirements
Fit one or two surveillance-grade SATA drives (up to 8TB each), run Cat5e or Cat6 from the 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. For high-draw cameras, check the 150 W PoE budget and use an injector where needed.
§ 08Questions
Frequently asked about the NVR-216MH-C-16P
Q.01
Does the NVR-216MH-C-16P come with a hard drive?
No. The recorder is supplied without a hard drive so you can size storage to your system. It has two SATA bays that each take a surveillance-grade drive up to 8TB, so add at least one drive before you expect it to record.
Q.02
How many cameras can it run?
It is a 16-channel recorder with 16 built-in PoE ports, so it powers and connects up to sixteen IP cameras directly over one cable each, with no separate switch needed.
Q.03
Will the 150 W PoE budget power sixteen cameras?
The 150 W total is shared across all sixteen ports, which is fine for typical HiLook cameras at around 5 to 9 W each. It can be tight if every camera is a high-draw model running infrared or white-light at full power at night. For those, spread the load or power the highest-draw cameras from a separate PoE injector.
Q.04
What camera resolution does it support?
It records IP cameras up to 8MP (4K) and outputs to a monitor at up to 4K over HDMI, with a simultaneous 1080p VGA output for a second screen.
Q.05
Can it tell people and vehicles apart?
Yes, within limits. It includes HiLook's Motion Detection 2.0, which classifies movement as a person or vehicle on up to four channels to cut false alerts. For human and vehicle analytics on every channel, use AcuSense cameras that do the classification themselves.
Q.06
How many cameras can I view and play back at once in high resolution?
While all sixteen channels record, the recorder's decoding is shared: roughly one channel at 8MP, three at 4MP or six at 1080p for simultaneous high-resolution live view or playback. Lower-resolution sub-streams let you see all sixteen tiles at once, and you can play back any single channel in full quality.
Q.07
Can I view it on my phone?
Yes. Connect the NVR to your router and add it to the free Hik-Connect app to watch live and play back recordings from your phone or tablet, at home or away.
Q.08
Which cameras work with it?
It is designed for HiLook and Hikvision IP cameras for full plug-and-play. It also supports ONVIF, so many third-party IP cameras will connect, though some features may be limited.
Buying from Smarket
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.

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.
Do you offer installation?
We can connect you with licensed installers in Sydney and Melbourne. Installation typically starts from around $200 per camera depending on cable runs and site conditions. Email sales@smarket.com.au with your address and camera count for a quote.
