HiLook NVR-104MH-C/4P(D) 4 Channel 4K PoE NVR — Powers 4 Cameras, Human & Vehicle Detection, HiLookVision App, 1 Bay to 8TB (No HDD Included)

Four cameras fit a house with four places to watch, such as the front door for parcels and callers, the driveway, the side gate and the back yard. The HiLook NVR-104MH-C/4P(D) 4 channel NVR runs that job from a slim 265 × 225 mm box on a shelf beside the modem. Run a cable from each camera back to it, plug the recorder into your router, and it powers the cameras, records them and sends them to your phone. Four cables, one box.

The HiLook NVR-104MH-C/4P(D) 4 channel NVR sits at the four-camera end of the HiLook C-series recorders, the value line of the Hikvision family. The 8-channel NVR-108MH-C/8P(D) is the step up if you plan more cameras or want human and vehicle detection on more channels; for a site that needs four views, this model puts more of the budget into the cameras, where it shows in the footage.

One Cable to Each Camera — 4 Built-In PoE Ports, IEEE 802.3af/at

On the HiLook NVR-104MH-C/4P(D) 4 channel NVR, each of the four RJ-45 ports supplies IEEE 802.3af/at power, with up to 50 W shared across the four. One Cat6 run carries both the power and the picture, so the camera under the eave runs from the recorder in the cupboard, and the camera switch is built into the recorder itself. When you choose cameras, compare their combined rated draw from the datasheets with that 50 W, especially if a camera has a heater or a strobe.

HiLook NVR-104MH-C/4P(D) 4 Channel NVR — Sharp Recording, Big-Screen Playback

The HiLook NVR-104MH-C/4P(D) 4 channel NVR is a 4K NVR at the value end of the range: 8MP down to CIF on each of the four channels, 40 Mbps of incoming bandwidth and synchronous playback of the four cameras, so you can follow someone across the four views on one screen. Zoom in on a caller’s face from a paused clip and an 8MP camera keeps the detail. Decoding runs one 8MP stream or three 4MP streams at 30 fps, which is worth knowing if you plan to watch several 8MP cameras live at once.

Human & Vehicle Detection — On the Camera You Choose

On the HiLook NVR-104MH-C/4P(D) 4 channel NVR, Motion Detection 2.0 adds human and vehicle detection to one of the four channels: it analyses movement on that camera and tags each target as human or vehicle, so events from that view carry the target type. Put it on the camera with the most coming and going, such as the driveway or the shop entrance. Line crossing and intrusion are VCA events set up on cameras that support them, not analytics run by the recorder itself.

Two Screens Showing the Cameras — 4K HDMI and VGA at Once

The HiLook NVR-104MH-C/4P(D) 4 channel NVR drives a 4K TV over HDMI at 30 Hz while its VGA output runs a 1080p monitor alongside. At home that means the cameras on the lounge-room TV and on a small screen in the study at the same time; in a shop, a monitor by the register and a second screen out the back, both showing the cameras at once. Two screens, one recorder.

Up to 8 TB in One Drive Bay — Choose the Days You Keep

The HiLook NVR-104MH-C/4P(D) 4 channel NVR takes a surveillance-grade drive of up to 8 TB in a single SATA bay. No drive is included. You pick the capacity, matched to how many days of footage you want kept on site. H.265+ compression keeps recordings compact, stretching the days a given drive holds before it starts writing over the oldest footage.
