SKU: VIGI NVR2016H-16P
Description
The TP-Link VIGI NVR2016H-16P is a 16-channel network video recorder with sixteen built-in PoE+ ports, so each VIGI IP camera connects and is powered over a single network cable straight to the recorder — no separate switch or injectors needed for a 16-camera system. It records up to 8MP (4K) footage with H.265+ compression, outputs 4K over HDMI plus a second VGA screen, and takes two surveillance hard drives of up to 16TB each for 24/7 continuous recording. A hard drive is not included, so you can size storage to the job.

§ 01Overview
What the VIGI NVR2016H-16P is
The TP-Link VIGI NVR2016H-16P is a 16-channel PoE+ network video recorder aimed at small businesses — groceries, warehouses, restaurants and offices — that want to run up to sixteen IP cameras from one tidy box.
Its standout feature is the sixteen built-in PoE+ ports: each VIGI camera connects and draws power over a single Ethernet cable straight into the recorder, with up to 30 W available per port, so there is no separate PoE switch or injector to buy and wire.
On the recording side it handles cameras up to 8MP (4K) and uses H.265+ compression to stretch storage and bandwidth a long way without losing detail.
It outputs 4K over HDMI and can drive a second screen over VGA, either showing the same view or working independently so one screen runs live view while the other handles playback or configuration.
ONVIF Profile S/T support means it also works with many third-party cameras, and the VIGI app, Security Manager and web interface give you remote live view, playback and alerts from a phone or computer.
Storage is two SATA bays, each taking a surveillance-grade hard drive of up to 16TB, for up to 32TB total and weeks of 24/7 footage from a full set of cameras.
The drive is not included — fit WD Purple or Seagate SkyHawk surveillance drives sized to your camera count, resolution and how long you need to keep recordings; a desktop or SSD drive is not recommended for continuous recording.
Smart events such as intrusion and are driven by the connected VIGI cameras and surfaced and recorded by the NVR.
It is genuine stock with a local 3-year warranty and support.

Two SATA bays take up to 16TB each, for up to 32TB of 24/7 surveillance recording.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Small businesses
Groceries, cafes, restaurants and shops can run a full set of entrance, floor and till cameras from one box.
Warehouses and yards
Sixteen PoE channels suit loading docks, storage rows and perimeter cameras across a single site.

§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What's in the box
One VIGI NVR2016H-16P recorder, a power adapter, HDD power and data cables, mounting brackets, screws, a mouse and a quick installation guide. Hard drives, network cables, cameras and a monitor are supplied separately.
Installation requirements
Fit one or two surveillance-grade SATA drives, connect a monitor over HDMI or VGA, and run a network cable from each VIGI camera into the NVR's PoE+ ports. Cameras are discovered automatically; set the recording schedule and test each channel and night view before relying on the system.
§ 07Questions
Frequently asked about the VIGI NVR2016H-16P
Q.01
Does this NVR come with a hard drive?
No. The NVR2016H-16P is supplied without a hard drive. It has two SATA bays that each take a surveillance-grade drive of up to 16TB, for up to 32TB total. Fit a WD Purple or Seagate SkyHawk drive sized to your camera count and how long you want to keep footage.
Q.02
Do I need a separate PoE switch for the cameras?
No. This recorder has sixteen built-in PoE+ ports, so each VIGI camera is powered and connected over a single network cable straight to the NVR. That is the main advantage of this model over the non-PoE NVR4032H and NVR4064H, which do need an external PoE switch.
Q.03
How many cameras and what resolution does it support?
It records up to sixteen channels and supports cameras up to 8MP (4K). H.265+ compression keeps the storage and bandwidth needed for sixteen high-resolution streams manageable, and you can mix camera resolutions across the channels.
Q.04
What hard drive should I use, and how big?
Use surveillance-grade 3.5-inch drives such as WD Purple or Seagate SkyHawk, which are built for 24/7 recording. Size depends on cameras and retention: as a guide, sixteen 4MP cameras recording continuously fill storage quickly, so many sites fit two large drives toward the 32TB maximum.
Q.05
Can I view it remotely and use third-party cameras?
Yes. The VIGI app, Security Manager and web interface give remote live view, playback and alerts. The NVR supports ONVIF Profile S/T, so alongside VIGI cameras it works with many ONVIF-compliant third-party cameras.
Q.06
Does it support two monitors at once?
Yes. It outputs 4K over HDMI and also has a VGA output. The two can run independently, so one screen can show live view while the other handles playback or configuration, or they can mirror the same view.
Q.07
Is this recorder NDAA compliant?
Yes. TP-Link VIGI is NDAA compliant, which suits government, education and other sites with approved-hardware requirements. The recorder is genuine stock supplied with a local 3-year warranty and support.

§ 09Bundles
Recommended packages
Add surveillance hard drives
This recorder ships without a drive - fit a 6TB, 8TB or 10TB drive sized to your camera count and retention.
Add VIGI cameras
Connect full-colour turret cameras such as the VIGI C445, or higher-resolution models, straight to the PoE+ ports.
Need fewer channels?
For smaller sites the 4-channel NVR1004H-4P and 8-channel NVR1008H recorders cover four and eight cameras.
Need more channels without PoE?
For 32 or 64 cameras with a separate PoE switch, compare the NVR4032H and NVR4064H.
