HiLook DVR-208U-M1 8-Channel 5MP Turbo HD DVR — Australian Stock & 3-Year Warranty

The HiLook DVR-208U-M1 is an 8-channel, 1U Turbo HD DVR that records your existing coax cameras at up to 5 MP. It accepts HD-TVI, AHD, CVI, CVBS and IP inputs on one recorder, making it ideal for upgrading an analog system or running a hybrid mix without re-cabling. Deep-learning Motion Detection 2.0 classifies humans and vehicles to dramatically reduce false alarms from leaves, shadows and headlights.

Efficient H.265 Pro+ compression stretches storage further, while a single SATA bay (up to 10 TB) handles local recording over a fast gigabit network port. Connect up to 16 network cameras for a larger hybrid build, and view everything remotely via the Hik-Connect app and iVMS-4200. Backed by genuine Australian stock and a 3-year warranty.

5MP Coax Recording with Smart Detection

5-in-1 Hybrid Inputs

Records HD-TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS analog cameras over coax, plus up to 16 IP cameras over the network — ideal for upgrading or mixing camera types on one recorder.

Motion Detection 2.0

Deep-learning analysis classifies humans and vehicles on every analog channel, slashing false alarms from leaves, rain and lights, and letting you search recordings by object type.

Efficient H.265 Pro+

H.265 Pro+ compression dramatically reduces file sizes versus H.264, so the single drive stores far more days of footage.

Gigabit & Remote

A gigabit network port and the free Hik-Connect app deliver smooth live and recorded viewing from anywhere, with iVMS-4200 for multi-site management.
