Dahua NVR2216-4KS3 16-Channel 4K Network Video Recorder
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 and other small to medium-sized installations.
As part of Dahua's Lite NVR range, the NVR2216-4KS3 combines high-resolution recording support, efficient video compression, intelligent video analysis and flexible storage options in a compact 1U design.
16-Channel IP Video Recording
The NVR provides 16 IP camera channels, allowing you to build a surveillance system with multiple network cameras from a single recording platform. It supports IP cameras with resolutions up to 12MP, making it suitable for modern high-resolution security cameras.
4K Video Output
For high-detail monitoring, the NVR supports HDMI video output up to 3840 × 2160 (4K). VGA output is also available, giving users flexibility when connecting monitors and surveillance displays.
Smart Storage with 2 HDD Bays
The NVR2216-4KS3 features two SATA HDD bays, with each drive supporting up to 20TB, depending on operating conditions. This provides flexible storage capacity for surveillance recordings and makes the recorder suitable for installations that require extended video retention.
Smart H.265+ Video Compression
Support for Smart H.265+, H.265, Smart H.264+, H.264 and MJPEG helps optimize video storage and network bandwidth while maintaining useful image quality. This is especially beneficial for systems with multiple high-resolution IP cameras.
AI-Powered SMD Plus
The recorder supports 4-channel SMD Plus by recorder, 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.
AI features can also be provided by compatible Dahua cameras, including perimeter protection and SMD Plus.
Flexible Network Compatibility
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, making it easier to monitor and manage a surveillance system remotely.
Multiple Playback and Backup Options
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.
