TP-Link VIGI NVR4016H 4-bay 16ch NVR
The TP-Link VIGI NVR4016H is a 16-channel network video recorder with four hard-drive bays, 4K HDMI output and H.265+ recording, built for larger homes and small to medium businesses. It is a non-PoE recorder, so cameras are connected through a separate PoE switch or use their own power.
Key points
- Records up to 16 IP cameras with 16-channel live view and synchronous playback
- 4 SATA bays, up to 16TB each, for up to 64TB of total storage
- 4K HDMI1 output plus a second HDMI and VGA; H.265+ compression
- Dual Gigabit LAN for network fault tolerance or extra bandwidth
- No built-in PoE: use a PoE switch (such as the NVR2016H-16P for an all-in-one PoE NVR)
- AI smart alarms from connected cameras; VIGI app and web remote access

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.

06Setup
Installation & setup
-
01
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.
-
02
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.
-
03
Hard drives
Fit one to four surveillance-grade SATA drives (up to 16TB each) before recording; more drives mean longer retention.
-
04
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.

Recommended packages
Add hard drives
Fit surveillance-grade SATA drives such as the 6TB, 8TB or 2TB; the four bays take up to 16TB each.
Want PoE built in?
To power cameras straight from the recorder, choose the all-in-one NVR2016H-16P 16-channel PoE NVR instead.
Pair it with cameras
Record VIGI cameras such as the InSight S485 8MP turret or build a system from a VIGI S385 4-camera kit.
Smaller systems
For fewer cameras, see the NVR1004H-4P (4-channel PoE) or NVR1008H (8-channel PoE) recorders.
