The standard 16-channel Turbo HD DVR
The Hikvision DS-7116HGHI-M1 is the standard 16-channel Turbo HD DVR without AcuSense AI. Same 16-channel capacity as the AcuSense iDS-7116HQHI-M1/S and iDS-7216HQHI-M2/S, at a more accessible price point. Useful when the AcuSense premium is not justified for the specific install (existing camera mix that does not support AcuSense, properties where standard motion detection is acceptable, budget-driven installations).
What this DVR is actually good at
- 16 channels of Turbo HD input.
- H.265+ compression for storage-efficient recording.
- One SATA hard-drive bay up to 10TB.
- Hik-Connect cloud and mobile app integration.
- HDMI and VGA local outputs.
Where this DVR belongs
