16-Channel 1U 16 PoE 4K Network Video Recorder (Smart H.265+, 128 Mbps Throughput, 2 SATA up to 20TB, 4K HDMI, Perimeter Protection by Camera, SMD Plus)

Product Overview

The DHI-NVR4216-16P-4KS2-L is an enterprise-grade 16-Channel 1U 16-PoE 4K Network Video Recorder engineered to deliver robust, high-throughput video recording, management, and real-time playback for commercial facilities, retail stores, educational campuses, and logistics centers. Built on an embedded multi-core processor and Linux operating system, this standalone NVR provides an incoming access bandwidth of 128 Mbps (128 Mbps recording / 64 Mbps outgoing), supporting high-definition network camera streams up to 8 Megapixels (4K UHD). It features an impressive decoding capability capable of decoding up to 2 channels @ 4K (30 fps) or 8 channels @ 1080p (30 fps) simultaneously.

Designed for simplified deployment, the unit integrates 16 independent 10/100 Mbps PoE (IEEE 802.3af/at) network ports with a generous total power budget of 117 W, enabling direct plug-and-play camera power and data transmission over standard network cables without requiring external PoE switches. The DHI-NVR4216-16P-4KS2-L provides dual SATA III interfaces accommodating up to 20TB total storage capacity (10TB per drive), ensuring extensive video archives. When paired with smart IP cameras, it seamlessly decodes camera-side AI analytics, including Perimeter Protection (Tripwire & Intrusion), SMD Plus (human and vehicle classification), and Face Detection. Complete with a native 4K Ultra HD HDMI output, simultaneous VGA monitor output, two-way audio, and Smart H.265+ compression, it provides a comprehensive recording hub for modern IP surveillance ecosystems.
