Choose 6MP or True 4K (8MP)
Pick 6MP (3072 × 2048) for sharp everyday coverage, or step up to 8MP 4K (3840 × 2160) for the headroom to digitally zoom into footage and still identify a face or number plate.
AcuSense AI — Fewer False Alarms
Deep-learning classification separates people and vehicles from animals, foliage and shadows, so only real events trigger alerts and recording.
16-Port PoE — Plug & Play
One Cat6 cable per camera carries power and video to the NVR's 16 built-in PoE ports — no separate power supplies, no extra switch, and six spare ports for expansion.
Add Your Own Storage
Two SATA bays accept surveillance HDDs up to 32 TB total. Add a drive sized to your retention needs across ten 4K channels — we can pre-install it before shipping.
Use these official Hikvision tutorials to complete the recorder startup wizard and connect the supplied PoE cameras. Menu names may vary slightly with firmware version.
What's the difference between the 6MP and 8MP option?
6MP records at 3072 × 2048 for sharp everyday coverage; 8MP is true 4K at 3840 × 2160 with a larger 1/1.8" sensor and extra zoom headroom for faces and number plates. Choose your resolution from the variant selector.
How does AcuSense reduce false alarms?
Deep-learning AI classifies motion as human, vehicle or other, so leaves, animals and shadows don't trigger alerts — only real events reach your phone.
Does the kit come with a hard drive?
No — it's supplied as a base hardware bundle so you can size storage to your needs. The NVR's two SATA bays take up to 32 TB total; add a surveillance HDD and we can pre-install it before shipping.
How are the cameras powered?
Each camera runs on a single Cat6 cable to one of the NVR's 16 built-in PoE ports — no separate power supplies. Cat6 cabling is run on site and not included.
Why a 16-channel NVR for 10 cameras?The
DS-7616NI-M2/16P gives you six spare channels and PoE ports, so you can expand the system later without replacing the recorder. It also supports AcuSense, ColorVu and other Hikvision IP cameras.
