A full-size 16-channel HD-TVI recorder with audio over coax: sound recorded from every HiLook "-MS" camera, two-way talk with the LTS models, 1080p to 4MP/5MP Lite recording with H.265+, and TVI/AHD/CVI/analogue accepted on any channel with IP cameras on top.

What to add

• Surveillance-grade hard drive(s) — 4–8TB total for 16 cameras; 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; an HDMI monitor for the control point.

Frequently asked questions

Can I mix HiLook mic cameras with older cameras?

Yes — audio over coax works on the channels with "-MS"/"-LTS" cameras; other channels record video only.

Does it control coax PTZs?

Yes — HiLook TVI speed domes are controlled over the coax.

How many IP cameras can I add?

Several on top of the 16 BNC inputs — see the datasheet for the exact number at your resolution.
