01Overview

What the VIGI NVR4016H is

The TP-Link VIGI NVR4016H is a 16-channel network video recorder aimed at sites that have outgrown a small 4- or 8-channel NVR. It records up to 16 IP cameras with 16-channel live view and 16-channel synchronous playback, and outputs 4K through its HDMI1 port (3840 x 2160 at 30Hz), with a second HDMI and a VGA port for a second screen. Note that HDMI2 and VGA cannot run at the same time: if both are connected, HDMI2 takes priority.

Storage is its strong point. Four SATA bays each take a hard drive up to 16TB, for up to 64TB in total, and H.265+ compression stretches that capacity into months of continuous footage. The recorder takes incoming and outgoing streams at up to 320 Mbps, decodes up to 10 channels at 3MP or 16 at 1080p (25fps), and works with the same VIGI smart alarms as the cameras, including motion, line-crossing, intrusion and human or vehicle detection. Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports support network fault tolerance or port aggregation for extra bandwidth.

Importantly, the NVR4016H does not have built-in PoE ports, so it does not power cameras directly. You connect cameras through a separate PoE switch (or use cameras with their own power), which suits sites with structured cabling or a central comms rack. If you would rather power cameras straight from the recorder, the VIGI NVR2016H-16P is an all-in-one 16-channel PoE NVR. The NVR4016H runs on mains AC, ships with mounting brackets, mouse and cabling, and is managed locally or remotely through the VIGI app and web interface. It is normally installed by a security or IT technician.

04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the VIGI NVR4016H

Room for 16 cameras

A 16-channel recorder with up to 64TB across four bays suits a growing site that needs more than a small 4- or 8-channel NVR.

Long retention

Four large drives and H.265+ compression store months of continuous 4K footage for review and evidence.

Fits a structured network

With dual Gigabit LAN and no built-in PoE, it drops neatly into a site that already has a PoE switch and comms rack.

Backed locally

Supplied by an authorised dealer with a 3-year warranty and Australia-wide support.

05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Medium business sites

Record 16 cameras across a shop, office or warehouse, with long retention on four large drives.

Larger homes and acreage

Cover a big property with many cameras and weeks of continuous footage on one recorder.

Multi-area premises

Bring cameras from several buildings or zones back to one 16-channel recorder over the network.

Structured-cabling installs

Suits sites with a central rack and a PoE switch already feeding the cameras.

06Setup

Installation & setup

  1. What it is

    A 16-channel, 4-bay network video recorder with 4K HDMI and H.265+. It is non-PoE, so it does not power cameras directly.

  2. Powering cameras

    Connect cameras through a separate PoE switch, or use cameras with their own power. For an all-in-one PoE recorder, see the NVR2016H-16P instead.

  3. Hard drives

    Fit one to four surveillance-grade SATA drives (up to 16TB each) before recording; more drives mean longer retention.

  4. Setup

    Mount the recorder in a rack or on a shelf, connect it to the network and a 4K monitor, and add cameras in the web interface or VIGI app. It is normally installed by a security or IT technician.

08Questions

Frequently asked about the VIGI NVR4016H

Q.01

Does the NVR4016H have built-in PoE ports?

No. It is a non-PoE recorder, so it does not power cameras directly. Connect cameras through a separate PoE switch, or use cameras with their own power supply.
Q.02

How many cameras and how much storage does it support?

It records up to 16 IP cameras and has four SATA bays, each taking a drive up to 16TB, for up to 64TB of total storage.
Q.03

Is a hard drive included?

No, drives are bought separately. Fit one to four surveillance-grade SATA drives; more drives and larger capacities give longer recording retention.
Q.04

Can I get 4K output on a monitor?

Yes. The HDMI1 port outputs up to 3840 x 2160 at 30Hz. There is also a second HDMI and a VGA port, though HDMI2 and VGA cannot be used at the same time.
Q.05

What if I want PoE built into the recorder?

Choose the VIGI NVR2016H-16P instead. It is an all-in-one 16-channel NVR with built-in PoE ports that power and connect the cameras directly.
Q.06

Does it support smart detection alarms?

Yes. With compatible VIGI cameras it supports motion, line-crossing, intrusion, region, loitering and human or vehicle detection alarms.
Q.07

Can I view footage remotely?

Yes. It works with the TP-Link VIGI app for iOS and Android and a web interface for live view, playback and alerts from anywhere with internet.
Q.08

What cameras does it work with?

It works with VIGI IP cameras and, as an ONVIF Profile S recorder, with many third-party ONVIF cameras over the network through a PoE switch.
