Hikvision DS-7616NI-M2/16P 16 Channel 16 PoE 8K NVR
The Hikvision DS-7616NI-M2/16P is a 16-channel plug-and-play 8K Network Video Recorder engineered for medium-sized Australian sites — warehouses, factories, retail stores, multi-tenant offices and large residences that need a single, reliable recorder running up to 16 high-resolution IP cameras. With 16 built-in PoE ports, support for up to 32 MP per channel, 256 Mbps incoming bandwidth and true 8K HDMI output, it's the natural step-up from 8-channel recorders without needing to move to a rack-mount system.
Two internal SATA bays accept up to 16 TB drives each (32 TB total), delivering weeks of continuous 24/7 recording or months of motion-triggered footage at 4K. AcuSense-ready firmware brings deep-learning human and vehicle classification, line-crossing, intrusion and perimeter protection — drastically reducing false alarms and making playback genuinely fast across all 16 cameras.

Why this 16-channel NVR is the right choice for serious sites
Where the 8-channel models stop, the DS-7616NI-M2/16P keeps going. Sixteen built-in PoE ports mean you can power and connect every camera directly from the recorder — no extra PoE switches, no extra failure points. Combined with 256 Mbps of incoming bandwidth, you can run a full deployment of 4K ColorVu, AcuSense and PanoVu cameras simultaneously without throttling resolution or frame rate.
True 32 MP Per Channel
Every one of the 16 channels supports cameras up to 32 MP — the highest tier in any plug-and-play NVR — so you can mix PanoVu, fisheye and 4K+ AcuSense models freely.
AcuSense Smart Detection
When paired with AcuSense cameras, deep-learning algorithms classify humans and vehicles in real time, filtering nuisance alerts and turning playback searches into seconds.
16 PoE Ports Built-In
Power and data over a single Cat6 run to each camera, up to 100 m. IEEE 802.3 af/at compliant — plug your cameras in and they appear automatically. Zero extra hardware.
Dual-SATA, 32 TB Capacity
Two internal SATA bays accept enterprise-grade surveillance HDDs up to 16 TB each, delivering long-duration 24/7 recording even with all 16 channels at full 4K.
8K HDMI Display Output
Drive an 8K (7680 × 4320) monitor at 30 Hz, or a 4K display at 60 Hz, plus a secondary VGA output for a second workstation view in your control room.
H.265+ Smart Compression
Hikvision's H.265+ codec reduces bitrate by up to 75% compared to H.264 — meaning more days of footage on the same drive, or the same retention on a smaller drive.

Frequently asked questions
Does the DS-7616NI-M2/16P come with hard drives?
The recorder ships as a chassis only. CCTV Guru offers pre-fitted Seagate SkyHawk or WD Purple surveillance drives from 2 TB to 16 TB — choose your preferred capacity at checkout.
Will it work with non-Hikvision cameras?
Yes. The NVR is ONVIF compliant and works with most third-party ONVIF IP cameras. For full AcuSense smart features you'll need genuine Hikvision AcuSense-compatible cameras.
Can I view all 16 channels on my phone?
Yes — set up Hik-Connect on iOS or Android for free remote live view, multi-channel grid playback and motion alerts. No port forwarding required.
What's the PoE power budget?
The NVR delivers up to 200 W total across the 16 PoE ports, with up to 30 W per port (Hi-PoE). That's enough to drive 16 standard PoE cameras simultaneously.
How many days of recording will I get?
At full 4K H.265+ across all 16 channels with 24/7 recording, expect roughly 4–6 days per 8 TB drive. Motion-only recording typically triples that figure.
Do you ship to my city?
We ship Australia-wide from our local warehouse — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra and Darwin — with most metro orders arriving in 1–3 business days.
