AI That Saves You Time
The DS-7616NXI-I2/16P/S uses Hikvision's AcuSense AI to filter out false alarms from leaves, rain, or animals. It detects only people and vehicles, so you get fewer notifications and faster playback searches. Facial recognition on 4 channels lets you instantly locate a specific person in recorded footage — no more scrubbing through hours of video.
16 PoE Ports — One Cable Does It All
This NVR has 16 built-in PoE ports delivering power and data over a single Ethernet cable. No need for a separate PoE switch or messy power adapters. Each port supports up to 30W, enough for PTZ or audio cameras. Total PoE budget is 200W — enough to power all 16 cameras simultaneously.
Record in 4K, Store for Weeks
Record up to 32MP resolution per channel — that's crisp 4K or even 12MP detail. Dual HDD bays accept up to 14TB each (28TB total), giving you weeks of continuous recording. Smart H.265+ compression cuts storage usage by up to 75% compared to H.264, so you keep more footage without buying extra drives.
Simple Setup, Any Camera Works
Plug in any ONVIF-compliant IP camera — Hikvision, Dahua, or third-party brands — and the NVR auto-detects it. No complex configuration. Remote access is free via Hik-Connect or DMSS apps on your phone or tablet. The unit ships from US warehouses, so you get it in 3-5 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this 16 channel nvr with non-Hikvision cameras?
Yes. The NVR supports the ONVIF protocol, so it works with most IP cameras from brands like Dahua, Amcrest, and Reolink. Just make sure your camera is ONVIF-compliant.
How many cameras can I connect without a switch?
You can connect up to 16 cameras directly to the built-in PoE ports. No external switch or power injectors needed. Each port delivers up to 30W.
Does this NVR support night vision recording?
Yes. The NVR records whatever your cameras see. If you use infrared and night vision cameras, the NVR stores that footage in full resolution. The AcuSense AI works in low light too.
What is the maximum hard drive capacity?
The NVR has two SATA bays, each supporting up to 14TB. Total maximum storage is 28TB. Use any standard 3.5-inch SATA HDD.
Can I view the cameras remotely on my phone?
Yes. Download the free Hik-Connect or DMSS app. Add the NVR by scanning a QR code, and you can view live feeds, playback recordings, and receive alerts anywhere.
Is this NVR compatible with an onvif nvr system?
This unit is an ONVIF-compliant NVR itself. It works with any ONVIF-conforming camera. You can mix and match brands as long as they support the onvif protocol.
