16-Channel Dahua NVR with 12MP Camera Support, 2 HDD Bays and AI SMD Plus
The Dahua NVR2216-4KS3 is a professional 16-channel network video recorder designed for reliable IP surveillance systems in homes, shops, offices, villas, commercial properties, warehouses, and other small to medium-sized installations.
As part of Dahua's Lite NVR range, the NVR2216-4KS3 combines high-resolution recording, efficient video compression, intelligent video analysis, and flexible storage in a compact 1U design suitable for rack or desktop installation.
The NVR provides 16 IP camera channels, allowing multiple network cameras to be managed from a single recording platform. It supports IP cameras with resolutions of up to 12MP, making it suitable for modern high-resolution surveillance systems.
The NVR supports HDMI video output up to 3840 × 2160 (4K) for high-detail monitoring. VGA output is also available for additional display connectivity.
The NVR2216-4KS3 features 2 SATA HDD bays, with each drive supporting up to 20TB, depending on operating conditions. This provides flexible storage capacity for surveillance recordings and installations requiring extended video retention.
The NVR supports Smart H.265+, H.265, Smart H.264+, H.264, and MJPEG, helping optimize storage usage and network bandwidth while maintaining useful image quality.
The recorder supports 4-channel SMD Plus, using intelligent algorithms to distinguish humans and motor vehicles from other motion triggers. This helps reduce unnecessary alarms caused by non-relevant movement such as changing lighting conditions, rain, and leaves.
Compatible Dahua cameras can also provide AI features such as Perimeter Protection and SMD.
The NVR supports ONVIF for interoperability with compatible network cameras and supports common network protocols including TCP/IP, HTTP, HTTPS, DHCP, DNS, SMTP, DDNS, and P2P.
It also supports remote access through iOS and Android devices for convenient remote monitoring and management.
The NVR supports playback of up to 16 channels, with general, event, smart, and tag playback modes. Recordings can be backed up using USB devices or through the network.
