DHI-NVR2116HS-4KS3 is a compact 16-channel network video recorder built to deliver AI-powered surveillance for larger camera deployments while staying in a space-saving 1U enclosure. Powered by an industrial-grade processor and embedded Linux operating system, it’s designed for reliable, continuous performance across extended camera networks.
The DHI-NVR2116HS-4KS3 supports up to 16 IP camera channels with resolutions up to 12MP, making it a strong fit for medium-sized commercial properties, multi-room retail locations, or larger residential compounds. Total network bandwidth reaches 144 Mbps incoming, 144 Mbps recording, and 72 Mbps outgoing with AI disabled, giving plenty of headroom for high-resolution, multi-camera recording.
Built-in AI is a core strength of the DHI-NVR2116HS-4KS3. The recorder processes SMD (Smart Motion Detection) across 4 channels directly on the unit, and supports SMD Plus and perimeter protection when paired with compatible cameras. These features apply secondary filtering to distinguish genuine human and vehicle activity from false triggers like leaves, rain, or lighting changes, significantly cutting down on nuisance alerts across a large camera network.
Decoding capability reaches up to 6 channels at 1080p@30fps, or single-channel viewing at resolutions up to 12MP, ensuring smooth multi-camera playback. Video compression uses Smart H.265+, H.265, Smart H.264+, H.264, and MJPEG, helping manage storage efficiently even with 16 channels recording simultaneously.
For storage, the DHI-NVR2116HS-4KS3 includes a single SATA HDD bay supporting drives up to 20TB, with backup available via USB device or network transfer. Video output includes simultaneous HDMI and VGA, with HDMI supporting resolutions up to 4K (3840×2160), and multi-screen display layouts of 1, 4, 8, 9, or 16 channels for flexible monitoring.
Remote access is supported through the P2P network protocol, with dedicated iOS and Android mobile apps for viewing footage from anywhere. The network port has been upgraded to Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps), supporting the higher data throughput this 16-channel model demands.
Compact and lightweight at 0.85kg, the DHI-NVR2116HS-4KS3 is rated for operation across a wide -10°C to +55°C range and carries CE certification, making it a scalable, AI-ready choice for anyone building out a larger IP surveillance system without moving up to a rack-mounted recorder.
