FAQ

How many IP cameras can the DS-9616NI-M8 support?

The recorder supports up to 16 IP camera inputs, with 320 Mbps incoming bandwidth and 400 Mbps outgoing bandwidth. The datasheet also specifies support for up to 8 IP camera inputs with 32MP, 24MP, or 16MP resolution. Actual recording and decoding performance depends on the selected camera streams and system configuration.

Does the NVR support 8K video output?

Yes. The recorder supports HDMI output up to 8K resolution or dual 4K resolution according to the selected display configuration. When HDMI 1 is configured for 8K output, the maximum HDMI 2 output resolution is limited to 1080p.

What decoding combinations are supported?

The detailed decoding table lists 2-channel 32MP, 3-channel 24MP, 4-channel 16MP, 6-channel 12MP, 8-channel 8MP, and 16-channel 5MP decoding at 30 fps. The available combination depends on camera resolution, frame rate, codec, and the selected system configuration.

How many hard drives can be installed?

The DS-9616NI-M8 provides 8 hot-plug SATA interfaces and 1 eSATA interface for compatible storage expansion. The maximum capacity per HDD should be confirmed against the final sales configuration because different sections of the datasheet list different per-disk capacity values.
