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

HiLook's most capable 8-channel coax recorder: AcuSense person/vehicle filtering so alerts mean something, audio over coax so HiLook mic cameras are heard and LTS cameras can talk back, up to 5MP recording per channel with H.265+, and 4K HDMI output. It is the DVR for someone upgrading an 8-camera coax system who wants everything the IP world offers — smart alerts, colour night vision via ColorVu Lite cameras, two-way audio, app control — without pulling new cable. TVI, AHD, CVI and analogue on any channel; IP cameras on top; coax PTZ control. For 16 cameras, the DVR-216U-M1/T; without AcuSense, the DVR-208G-M1/T costs less.

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

What does AcuSense change day to day?

You get a notification when a person or vehicle appears, not when a cat, a shadow or rain does — and you can search recordings by "person" or "vehicle" instead of scrolling.

Does AcuSense need special cameras?

No — the analysis runs in the recorder on any connected camera.

Which cameras give audio?

HiLook "-MS" (mic) and "-LTS" (mic and speaker) over coax.
