Hikvision DeepinMind · AI NVR · 16 CH · 16 PoE · 8K
The Hikvision iDS-7716NXI-M4/16P/X is a DeepinMind AI Network Video Recorder — Hikvision's flagship 16-channel plug-and-play recorder for sites that take AI seriously. It brings true on-device deep-learning intelligence to your CCTV: facial recognition across all 16 channels, perimeter protection on every channel, AcuSearch image-based search, video structuralisation, ANPR, people counting and Motion Detection 2.0 — all processed locally on the NVR itself, not in the cloud.
Designed for serious Australian deployments — corporate offices, hotels, gated estates, schools, retail chains, car dealerships and government sites — this 1.5U NVR connects up to 16 IP cameras (all via built-in PoE) and outputs true 8K via HDMI 1 while a second 4K HDMI drives a spot monitor. Four SATA bays accept up to 16 TB each (64 TB total), with full RAID support for footage redundancy. Ships as a chassis only — choose your HDD configuration at checkout.

What makes DeepinMind different from a standard NVR
Most NVRs simply record video. The DeepinMind iDS series understands what it's recording. Hikvision's deep-learning engine sits inside the recorder, processing every frame to recognise faces, classify vehicles, detect line-crossing and intrusion, read number plates, and count people moving through a doorway. The result is a security system that doesn't just film events — it flags the ones that matter the moment they happen.
Facial Recognition & Face Library
Manage up to 16 face libraries with 100,000 enrolled faces, plus a 10,000-face stranger library and 5 million face-capture records. Compare at 48 pictures per second across all 16 channels.
Perimeter Protection
16-channel deep-learning intrusion, line-crossing and region-entry detection — drastically lower false alarms than traditional motion-only NVRs.
AcuSearch by Image
Upload a reference image of a person or vehicle and AcuSearch finds every other appearance in your recorded footage. Hours of investigation collapsed into seconds.
Video Structuralisation
12-channel video metadata extraction transforms raw footage into searchable structured data — people, vehicles, faces and licence plates indexed automatically.
ANPR & People Counting
Built-in automatic number-plate recognition for entrances and driveways, plus people counting for retail traffic, building occupancy and queue management.
Motion Detection 2.0
AI-powered motion detection that classifies movement as human, vehicle, or other — eliminating wind, rain and shadow false triggers for genuinely smart alerts.
Face recognition that works like your phone — but for your CCTV
You know how your iPhone Photos app automatically groups pictures of "Mum," "James," or "the kids"? The iDS-7716NXI-M4/16P/X does exactly the same thing — but for your live security cameras. Snap a photo of each family member, staff member, regular customer, courier or contractor and add their name. From then on, when the NVR sees them on any of your 16 cameras, you get a push notification on your phone that says "James arrived at the front door" instead of just *"motion detected."*
It also works the other way around. Add a banned customer, a former employee or anyone you don't want on the premises to a watchlist — and the NVR alerts you the instant they appear on any camera. Up to 100,000 faces across 16 organised libraries are stored locally on the recorder itself — no cloud subscription, no facial data leaving your premises, no monthly fees, ever.
Unlike battery-powered "smart" cameras that only recognise faces at the doorbell (and lose accuracy over time), the DeepinMind NVR runs the same enterprise-grade deep-learning engine used in Hikvision's commercial installations — applied to every camera, every angle, around the clock.
Recommended AI-ready cameras
For best face-recognition accuracy, pair this NVR with cameras from our verified Hikvision AcuSeek Cameras collection.

Hikvision AcuSense Face Recognition — How It Works
Enterprise hardware backing the AI brain
The DeepinMind NVR isn't just smart — it's seriously well-built. Sixteen onboard PoE ports (IEEE 802.3 af/at) power your cameras directly; 320 Mbps of incoming bandwidth, four hot-swappable SATA bays with full RAID 0 / 1 / 5 / 6 / 10 support, dual HDMI outputs, dual Gigabit Ethernet and a tough 1.5U chassis make this a recorder built for sites where downtime simply isn't an option.
Dual HDMI Outputs
HDMI 1 drives a true 8K monitor; HDMI 2 drives a separate 4K display — perfect for control rooms with a primary and spot monitor.
RAID 0 / 1 / 5 / 6 / 10
Quad-SATA design supports all major RAID levels for redundancy and performance — critical for sites where footage loss is not an option.
Hik-Connect P2P
Remote live view and playback on iOS and Android via the Hik-Connect app — no static IP or port forwarding required.
ONVIF Compatible
Works with the full Hikvision IP range and most third-party ONVIF cameras — flexibility for hybrid and multi-vendor sites.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between this and a standard M Series NVR?
The iDS DeepinMind NVR has a dedicated AI processor inside the recorder. Even if your cameras aren't AI-enabled, the NVR runs facial recognition, perimeter protection and AcuSearch on the live stream — turning any IP camera into a smart camera.
Do I need special cameras to use the AI features?
No. The DeepinMind NVR processes video from any compatible Hikvision or ONVIF IP camera. Pair with cameras from our Hikvision AcuSeek Cameras collection for the sharpest face crops and best recognition accuracy.
Does it come with hard drives?
This SKU ships as a chassis only. CCTV Guru offers pre-fitted Seagate SkyHawk or WD Purple surveillance drives from 4 TB up to 16 TB per bay — choose your configuration at checkout.
How does facial recognition work in practice?
Enrol staff, VIPs or known visitors into the face library. The NVR then alerts when a known face appears (or when a stranger does). Up to 100,000 faces can be stored locally and compared at 48 pictures per second.
Does it support RAID?
Yes — RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10 across the 4 SATA bays. You can balance storage capacity, redundancy and performance to suit your site's footage retention policy.
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.
