HiLook NVR-216MH-C/16P(D) 16 Channel 4K PoE NVR — 16 PoE Ports, Human & Vehicle Detection, 2 Bays to 8TB Each (No HDD Included)
AUD $305.00 inc GST
The HiLook NVR-216MH-C/16P 16 channel NVR is a 4K network video recorder from HiLook’s Value NVR range, with sixteen built-in PoE ports, 8MP recording and human & vehicle detection — connect each camera straight to the back of the unit and the switch, injectors and camera-end power supplies all disappear from the parts list.
📡 16 Built-In PoE Ports — one Cat6 run carries power and video to each camera, so there is no separate switch, injector or power supply to buy, mount or fault-find.
📷 8MP Recording on Every Channel — record all sixteen cameras at up to 8MP, so faces, plates and clothing detail survive the zoom when you actually need them.
🧠 Human & Vehicle Detection — Motion Detection 2.0 classifies people and vehicles on your highest-priority approaches, so the alerts you get are ones you act on.
🖥️ 4K HDMI Plus VGA Together — run a 4K wall screen and a second monitor at the same time, so someone can watch live while you review yesterday.
💾 Two Drive Bays, Your Choice of Storage — fit one or two surveillance-rated drives, with H.265+ compression making every terabyte hold more footage.
🌐 Gigabit Network Uplink — a 10/100/1000 Mbps LAN port keeps remote viewing and playback smooth even while sixteen cameras are recording.
🎙️ Two-Way Audio — talk and listen through a connected camera or speaker from the recorder itself.
🏆 Authorised Australian Product — the HiLook NVR-216MH-C/16P 16 channel NVR is covered by manufacturer warranty and supported locally by Comms Direct.

The HiLook NVR-216MH-C/16P 16 channel NVR is the recorder you size a site around when eight channels stops being enough. Sixteen built-in PoE ports power and connect sixteen cameras over a single Cat6 run each, 160 Mbps of incoming bandwidth keeps every stream recording at up to 8MP, and a 1U chassis slides into the comms cabinet you already own. Plug the cameras in, and the HiLook NVR-216MH-C/16P 16 channel NVR finds them, powers them and starts recording.
It belongs to HiLook’s Value NVR range — Hikvision’s value brand — which is exactly why it earns its keep on real sites: you get 4K output, Motion Detection 2.0 human and vehicle analysis and dual drive bays at a price that fits a sixteen-camera site.
16 Built-In PoE Ports — One Cable Per Camera, Power and Video Together
Every camera patches straight into the rear panel: one Cat6 run carries power and video both ways, with a total PoE budget of 150 W across the sixteen IEEE 802.3 af/at ports. The recorder is the switch and the power supply in one box, so every camera is powered from the cabinet and the whole system runs from a single power point — which is precisely what plug-and-play should mean on a sixteen-camera install.
HiLook NVR-216MH-C/16P 16 Channel NVR — 4K Output With 8MP Recording on Every Channel
All sixteen channels record at up to 8MP, and the HiLook NVR-216MH-C/16P 16 channel NVR pushes a true 4K picture out over HDMI, so what your cameras capture is what your screen shows. With 160 Mbps of incoming bandwidth — double its 8-channel sibling — there is headroom for a full loadout of high-resolution cameras plus audio, and 16-channel synchronous playback means you can scrub every camera at once when you are piecing together how an incident unfolded.
Human & Vehicle Detection — Go Straight to the Clip That Matters
Motion Detection 2.0 runs human and vehicle classification on four channels. Assign those four to the approaches where an alert has to be right — the driveway, the front entry, the loading dock, the side gate — and the HiLook NVR-216MH-C/16P 16 channel NVR sends notifications you act on instead of a feed full of headlights and tree shadows. Every channel still records at full resolution and supports the standard VCA events, including line crossing and intrusion detection.
4K HDMI and VGA at the Same Time — Watch Live on One Screen, Review on Another
The HDMI and VGA outputs run simultaneously: put the live sixteen-camera grid on a 4K wall screen while a second monitor handles playback or configuration. On the network side, the HiLook NVR-216MH-C/16P 16 channel NVR’s gigabit 10/100/1000 Mbps uplink keeps remote viewing through the HiLookVision app responsive — up to 32 remote connections — even while every channel is writing to disk.
Two Drive Bays — Smarter Compression Built In
Two SATA bays each take a surveillance-rated drive of up to 8 TB, so you can start with one drive and add the second as retention needs grow. H.265+ compression cuts storage use dramatically against standard H.264 footage, so the same drive holds far more footage before it starts overwriting — and with the HiLook NVR-216MH-C/16P 16 channel NVR you choose the capacity rather than paying for a drive someone else picked.
Where the HiLook NVR-216MH-C/16P 16 Channel NVR Earns Its Place Across Australia
🏡 Larger Homes & Acreage — sixteen channels covers the house, sheds, gates and driveway of a bigger block without a second recorder, and the HiLookVision app puts every camera on your phone.
🏢 Business Premises — retail floors, warehouses and offices land in the nine-to-sixteen camera bracket this unit is built for, with human and vehicle alerts on the entries that matter and 8MP detail for evidence that stands up.
🔧 Licensed Security Installers — a 1U rack-mount chassis and plug-and-play PoE discovery make the HiLook NVR-216MH-C/16P 16 channel NVR a fast, clean install that hands over without callbacks, covered by manufacturer warranty and supported locally by Comms Direct.

The HiLook NVR-216MH-C/16P 16 channel NVR and its 8-channel sibling share the same recording quality, the same analytics and the same plug-and-play setup — the choice is purely how many cameras your site needs and how much headroom you want in bandwidth, storage and uplink speed.
Frequently Asked Questions — HiLook NVR-216MH-C/16P(D)
Q: Does the human and vehicle detection run on all sixteen channels?
The HiLook NVR-216MH-C/16P 16 channel NVR runs Motion Detection 2.0 human and vehicle analysis on four of its sixteen channels. In practice that is how most sites use it anyway: assign them to the approaches where an alert has to be right — driveway, front entry, loading dock, side gate — and use the remaining channels for coverage. All sixteen channels record at full resolution and support the standard VCA events including line crossing and intrusion, so nothing is left unwatched. If every one of your sixteen positions needs classification, tell us before you order and we will point you at the right recorder.
Q: What hard drive does the HiLook NVR-216MH-C/16P 16 channel NVR take, and what size should I get?
It has two SATA bays, each taking a surveillance-rated hard drive of up to 8 TB. Surveillance-rated drives are built for the constant writing an NVR does, and H.265+ compression stretches every terabyte further. For sixteen cameras, a single large drive is a strong starting point, with the second bay ready when you want longer retention. Browse surveillance-grade HDDs here.
Q: Will it work with third-party or ONVIF cameras?
The HiLook NVR-216MH-C/16P 16 channel NVR is designed for HiLook IP cameras, which connect plug-and-play through the sixteen PoE ports and unlock the full analytics feature set. The current manufacturer datasheet lists TCP/IP, RTSP and the standard network protocols, and does not list ONVIF among them — so if your plan involves third-party cameras, check with us first and we will confirm compatibility for your exact camera models before you order.
Build a Complete HiLook System
The HiLook NVR-216MH-C/16P 16 channel NVR pairs directly with the HiLook IP camera range — turrets, bullets and domes in 6MP and 8MP that plug straight into the sixteen built-in PoE ports. Run Cat6 cable from each PoE port to each camera. Add a surveillance-grade hard drive to each bay to suit the history you need to keep. Pair with a Hikvision AX Pro wireless alarm system — alarm events trigger camera recording automatically.
