Who is the NVR-108H-D/8P for?
The recorder we suggest for most houses and small businesses — even ones starting with four cameras. Eight built-in PoE ports mean every camera is powered and connected by one cable with no separate switch, and 4K (8MP) recording per channel means no camera you're likely to buy will be held back. A house typically ends up with 3–5 cameras; a shop or unit with 5–8. Buying eight channels now avoids replacing the recorder when the fifth camera goes on. One SATA bay; H.265+ keeps storage demands sensible. Works with every HiLook IP camera, from the IPC-T221H-M to the 4K IPC-T280HA-LUF/SL. Need two drive bays for longer retention? The NVR-208MH-C/8P. More than eight cameras? The NVR-216MH-C/16P.
What to add
- A surveillance-grade hard drive — 4TB is a sensible minimum for eight 4MP cameras; we fit and format to order.
- Cat5e/Cat6 cable to each camera, up to 100m per run.
- A network cable to your router for the free HiLookVision or Hik-Connect app; an HDMI monitor for setup.
Frequently asked questions
Will it power eight ColorVu cameras?
Yes — standard HiLook turrets, bullets and domes are well within the PoE budget. Check it before adding PTZs.
Can I mix camera resolutions?
Yes — any mix of 2MP, 4MP, 5MP and 8MP HiLook/Hikvision cameras on one recorder.
Can I view it away from home?
Yes, through the app once the NVR is connected to your router — no port forwarding or static IP needed.
