HiLook by Hikvision DVR-204Q-K1 4-Channel 4MP Lite H.265+ HD-TVI 5-in-1 DVR with Hik-Connect

The HiLook by Hikvision DVR-204Q-K1 is a 4-channel HD-TVI DVR that records at up to 4MP Lite with H.265+ compression, so you get sharper footage and far longer retention on the same hard drive than an H.264 recorder. It accepts TVI, AHD, CVI and analogue cameras on any channel plus IP cameras over the network, and streams to the HiLookVision or Hik-Connect app. Trade prices from Zenith Security Co with fast UK delivery.

Who is the DVR-204Q-K1 for?

A 2–4 camera coax system where you want 4MP cameras or simply longer recording from a smaller drive. It is the natural partner for the THC-T140-M and THC-T240-M 4MP turrets. If you also want audio over coax with mic-equipped cameras, choose the DVR-204Q-M1/T or DVR-204G-M1/T; for 8 cameras the DVR-208Q-K1.

What you’ll need with it

• A surveillance-grade hard drive — 1–2TB goes a long way with H.265+.
• Coax cameras and cabling, and a 12V PSU for the cameras.
• A network connection to your router for remote viewing.

Frequently asked questions

How much longer will H.265+ record for?

Typically two to four times longer than H.264 at the same quality, depending on how much movement is in the scene.

Will it work with my old cameras?

Yes — channels auto-detect CVBS as well as HD formats, so you can upgrade cameras gradually.
