HiLook Pro NVR-108MH-K/8P 8 Channel 4K PoE NVR — 8 PoE Ports, AI Facial Recognition, 1 Bay to 16TB (No HDD Included)
AUD $269.00 inc GST
The HiLook Pro NVR-108MH-K/8P 8 channel NVR records and powers up to eight IP cameras from a single box — eight built-in PoE ports, on-device facial recognition and Motion Detection 2.0, with AI alerts that can be filtered to people and vehicles. It ships without a hard drive, giving you the flexibility to choose and add the storage capacity that suits your install.
🔌 8 Built-In PoE Ports — connect and power up to eight IP cameras over a single Cat6 run each, with no separate switch or power supplies at the camera positions.
🧠 Facial Recognition, Perimeter Protection & Motion Detection 2.0 — on-device facial recognition, one channel of recorder-side perimeter protection with human and vehicle recognition, and Motion Detection 2.0 human and vehicle classification on all 8 channels, so alerts can be filtered to people and vehicles.
🎬 4K Recording, up to 12MP — capture and review footage in sharp detail, with simultaneous 4K HDMI and VGA output to your screens.
📦 H.265+ Compression — smart encoding cuts storage use by up to 75%, so the same drive holds far more days of footage.
💾 1 SATA Bay, up to 16TB — fit a single surveillance-grade drive sized to your retention needs (sold separately).
📱 HiLookVision & Hik-Connect — live view, playback and push alerts on your phone, with encrypted remote access and no exposed ports.
🔒 TLS Stream Encryption — secure, encrypted video transmission across your network.
⚠️ No HDD included. This unit ships without a hard drive. Select your storage capacity separately:
8 PoE ports · facial recognition · perimeter protection · Motion Detection 2.0 · up to 12MP recording · 4K HDMI · H.265+ · 1 SATA up to 16TB · HiLookVision remote · Authorised Australian Product
The HiLook Pro NVR-108MH-K/8P 8 channel NVR brings facial recognition and deep-learning human and vehicle detection into HiLook’s Pro tier, well below enterprise pricing. Comms Direct supplies it as Authorised Australian Product — eight built-in PoE ports power and record up to eight IP cameras from one box, so a full site goes in with a single cable run per camera and no separate switch.
8 Built-In PoE Ports — One Cable Powers and Records Each Camera
Each of the eight PoE ports delivers power and video to a camera over a single Cat6 run, so you skip the separate power supplies and standalone switch other recorders need. The HiLook Pro NVR-108MH-K/8P 8 channel NVR carries a 75W PoE budget across all eight ports on the 802.3af/at standard, plug-and-play with HiLook and Hikvision IP cameras, while a gigabit network port handles your uplink for remote viewing and backup.
Facial Recognition, Perimeter Protection & Motion Detection 2.0
The HiLook Pro NVR-108MH-K/8P 8 channel NVR carries its own AI engine. Facial recognition captures and compares faces against up to 16 libraries holding 20,000 images, for list and stranger alerts and fast picture search. Recorder-side perimeter protection — line crossing and intrusion with human and vehicle recognition to reduce false alarms — runs on one channel, and Motion Detection 2.0 classifies movement as human or vehicle on all eight channels, so alerts can be filtered to people and vehicles.
AI functions share the recorder’s analytics capacity, and enabling AI reduces live decode capacity (the datasheet lists both figures). You set the combination that suits each position — face capture at an entry or counter, perimeter protection on the channel that matters most, Motion Detection 2.0 across the rest.
4K Recording & H.265+ — Sharp Footage, Far Less Storage
The HiLook Pro NVR-108MH-K/8P 8 channel NVR records cameras at up to 12MP and outputs live 4K over HDMI, with a simultaneous VGA feed to a second screen. H.265+ smart compression cuts storage use by up to 75% versus H.264, so a single drive holds far more days of footage and your network bandwidth stays clear. One SATA bay takes a surveillance-grade drive up to 16TB.
HiLookVision & Hik-Connect — Secure Footage on Your Phone
Footage from the HiLook Pro NVR-108MH-K/8P 8 channel NVR reaches your phone or tablet through the HiLookVision and Hik-Connect apps, with encrypted remote access and no exposed ports. Stream-over-TLS encryption protects video as it crosses the network, and recordings stay on-site on your own drive with no cloud subscription to pay.

Frequently Asked Questions — NVR-108MH-K/8P
Q: How much hard drive storage do I need, and is one included?
The HiLook Pro NVR-108MH-K/8P 8 channel NVR has a single SATA bay for a surveillance-grade drive up to 16TB, and ships without a drive so you choose the capacity. The right size depends on your camera count, resolution, frame rate and how many days you keep — H.265+ stretches it much further than older recorders. Browse compatible HiLook surveillance HDDs or contact us for sizing before you order.
Q: Can facial recognition and Motion Detection 2.0 run at the same time?
The recorder’s AI functions share its analytics capacity, and enabling AI reduces live decode capacity — the datasheet lists both figures. Facial recognition runs on one channel, recorder-side perimeter protection on one channel, and Motion Detection 2.0 on all channels. Set the combination that suits each site, and contact us if you’re unsure which to use where.
Q: Will it work with my existing HiLook and Hikvision cameras?
Yes — the HiLook Pro NVR-108MH-K/8P 8 channel NVR is plug-and-play with current model HiLook and Hikvision IP cameras over its eight PoE ports, powering and recording each over one cable. For Hikvision or third-party cameras, contact us for a compatibility check before ordering.
Build a Complete HiLook System
The HiLook Pro NVR-108MH-K/8P 8 channel NVR powers and records up to eight cameras from the HiLook IP camera range — mix turret, bullet and dome to suit each position. Run Cat6 unshielded cable from each PoE port to each camera. Add a surveillance-grade HiLook HDD sized to your retention needs, since the recorder ships without a drive. Keep the system recording through a blackout or a cut mains supply with a UPS battery backup.
The HiLook Pro NVR-108MH-K/8P 8 channel NVR is part of the HiLook NVR range at Comms Direct — supplied as Authorised Australian Product, covered by manufacturer warranty. Ships fast from Australian warehouses. For multi-camera project deployments or $10k+ project supply, contact our Project Supply Desk for project pricing and specification support.
