Who is the DVR-116G-M1/T for?
A 16-channel HD-TVI recorder with audio over coax in a compact case: 9–16 coax cameras, sound recorded from every HiLook "-MS" camera and two-way talk with the LTS models, all over existing cabling. It records 1080p to 4MP/5MP Lite with H.265+, accepts TVI, AHD, CVI and analogue on any channel, and adds IP cameras. It suits a shop, restaurant or small unit that already has a lot of coax and wants HD, audio and app access from one budget recorder. Single drive bay — for two bays and longer retention on 16 channels, the DVR-216G-M1/T; for AcuSense person/vehicle filtering, the DVR-216U-M1/T.
What to add
- A large surveillance-grade hard drive — 4–6TB for 16 cameras in a single bay; we fit and format to order.
- Coax cameras plus RG59 cable and 12V PSUs — the DVR does not power cameras.
- A network cable to your router for the free HiLookVision or Hik-Connect app.
Frequently asked questions
How long will 16 cameras record on one drive?
With a 6TB drive and 1080p cameras on H.265+, roughly two to three weeks continuous; motion-only recording extends that considerably.
Which cameras give audio?
HiLook "-MS" (mic) and "-LTS" (mic and speaker) over coax.
116 or 216?
Same recording spec; the 216 has two drive bays and more IP-camera capacity.
