16 Channel NVR — Hikvision 16CH Network Video Recorder

16 channels is the sweet spot for serious deployments: mid-size office buildings, multi-tenant retail, schools, houses of worship, distribution centers, and automotive dealerships. Enough capacity to cover every critical zone — parking, all entrances, interior corridors, cash handling, loading docks — with a few channels left to grow into.

The jump from 8ch to 16ch isn't just "twice as many ports." You're entering Hikvision's professional-grade recorder tier, with higher incoming bandwidth (up to 160Mbps on I-series), deeper AI processing, and RAID support on upper models.
