Who is the DVR-208G-M1/T for?

The 8-channel HD-TVI recorder for a coax system built around HiLook's mic and ColorVu Lite cameras: audio over coax records sound on every channel with an "-MS" camera and gives two-way talk with the LTS models, over the RG59 that is already in the walls. It records 1080p to 4MP/5MP Lite per channel with H.265+, takes TVI, AHD, CVI and analogue on any input, and adds IP cameras over the network — the sensible recorder for a house with cameras on every side or a shop with 6–8 views. For 4 cameras, the DVR-204G-M1/T; for person/vehicle alert filtering as well, the DVR-208U-M1/T; for 16 cameras, the DVR-216G-M1/T.

What to add

• A surveillance-grade hard drive — 2–4TB for eight cameras; we fit and format to order.
• Coax cameras plus RG59 cable and a 12V multi-way PSU — the DVR does not power cameras.
• A network cable to your router for the free HiLookVision or Hik-Connect app.

Frequently asked questions

Can I hear and talk through the cameras from my phone?

Record audio from any "-MS" camera; two-way talk works with "-LTS" cameras through the app's talk button.

Can I mix old analogue and new HD cameras?

Yes — each channel auto-detects the type, so you can upgrade one at a time.

Does it support HiLook coax PTZs?

Yes — PTZ control over the coax with compatible HiLook speed domes.
