Manufacturer Description
Up to 4-ch IP camera inputs, plug & play with 4 PoE interfaces; H.265+/H.265/H.264+/H.264 video; decoding up to 2-ch @ 12MP or 4-ch @ 8MP or 8-ch @ 4MP or 16-ch @ 1080p; up to 40 Mbps incoming bandwidth.
Who is the HL-NVR-104MH-K/4P for?
A 4-channel PoE NVR from HiLook's top MH-K series, which records up to 12MP per channel. That makes it the only 4-channel HiLook recorder that runs the 12MP IPC-T2120HAP-LUF/SL and IPC-B1120HAP-LUF/SL at full resolution, and the natural choice for a small site built around one or two very high-resolution cameras — a forecourt, a wide shop floor, a yard covered from a single point. Four built-in PoE ports, one drive bay, H.265+. If your cameras are 8MP or below, the NVR-104H-D/4P does the same job for less; for more channels at 12MP, the HL-NVR-108MH-K/8P.
What to add
- A surveillance-grade hard drive — 12MP cameras use roughly three times the space of 4MP, so 4TB is the sensible minimum; we fit and format to order.
- Cat5e/Cat6 cable to each camera, up to 100m per run.
- A network cable to your router for the free HiLookVision or Hik-Connect app; a 4K HDMI monitor to see the detail locally.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need the MH-K series if my cameras are 4K?
No — the H-D and MH-C series record 4K. MH-K is for 12MP cameras or for headroom on a site that may get them.
Does it work with existing 2MP/4MP cameras?
Yes — any mix of HiLook/Hikvision IP cameras, any resolution up to 12MP.
Can I add a fifth camera later?
No — four channels. Buy the 8-channel model if you might grow.
