HIKVISION 7616NI – Q2 16 Channel Upto 8MP Non Poe Switch

The Hikvision DS-7616NI-Q2 is a professional-grade 16-channel IP Network Video Recorder (NVR) designed for mid-sized surveillance deployments requiring high resolution, reliability and flexible display support. It accepts up to 16 IP camera inputs with a recorded resolution up to 8 MP per channel and handles an incoming bandwidth of up to 160 Mbps. With both HDMI output capable of 4K resolution and a VGA output, the unit supports full-scale monitoring in control-rooms or large installations.  The recorder utilises efficient H.265+ (alongside H.265/H.264/H.264+) compression standards to minimise storage and network load while maintaining high quality footage. Storage is supported via two SATA hard-disk bays, each accommodating up to 8 TB, allowing extended archival retention.  Housed in a 1U rack-mount chassis (385 × 315 × 52 mm) and operating over a wide ambient temperature range (-10 °C to +55 °C), the DS-7616NI-Q2 is suited for professional installations where robustness and scalability are essential.

FAQ Section

1. Can I record 8 MP cameras on this NVR?
Yes — the DS-7616NI-Q2 supports up to 1 channel at 8 MP resolution.

2. Is it a PoE NVR (with built-in network-camera power ports)?
No — the base DS-7616NI-Q2 model does not include built-in PoE ports. If you need PoE, look at the /16P variant.

3. How many hard drives can I install?
It has two SATA interfaces, each supporting up to 8 TB (in many regions) for a total capacity of potentially 16 TB.

4. Does it support remote viewing on a mobile app?
Yes — it supports Hik-Connect and standard remote protocols (TCP/IP, DDNS, etc) for remote access.

5. Is this suitable for large-scale enterprise installations?
It is well-suited for mid-sized sites (16 channels) with high resolution and professional outputs; however for very large-scale you may require higher channel or bandwidth models.
