Who is the DVR-216Q-M1/T for?

A 16-channel Q-series HD-TVI recorder with audio over coax and a 4K HDMI output — for a larger coax system that wants HiLook's mic and ColorVu Lite cameras heard as well as seen, and a sharp local monitor view. It records up to 5MP per channel with H.265+, takes TVI, AHD, CVI and analogue on any input, adds IP cameras, and supports coax PTZ control. Choose it for a shop, restaurant or unit with 9–16 cameras where audio matters and a single drive bay is enough. For two bays, the DVR-216Q-M2 (no audio over coax) or the AcuSense DVR-216U-M1/T; for a lower-cost 16-channel with audio, the DVR-216G-M1/T.

What to add

• A large surveillance-grade hard drive — 6–8TB for 16 cameras in one 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; a 4K monitor if you want the full local picture.
