Description
The Dahua NVR2116HS-4KS3 is a high-performance 16-channel network video recorder designed to provide efficient and reliable video surveillance management, well suited to medium to large-sized residential, commercial, and industrial deployments. It’s part of Dahua’s Lite series, offering advanced features and robust performance in a compact 1U form factor.
Powered by an industrial-grade embedded processor, the Dahua NVR2116HS-4KS3 ensures stable and efficient operation while supporting Smart H.265+, H.265, Smart H.264+, H.264, and MJPEG decoding formats, significantly reducing storage and bandwidth requirements without compromising video quality.
With a maximum decoding capability of 6 × 1080p at 30 fps and support for IP cameras up to 12 MP resolution, the NVR2116HS-4KS3 delivers up to 144 Mbps of incoming and recording bandwidth with 72 Mbps outgoing, giving it enough headroom to handle 16 IP camera channels smoothly.
HDMI output supports resolutions up to 4K (3840×2160), giving administrators the option of highly detailed local display alongside simultaneous VGA output at 1080P for flexible integration into existing monitoring setups.
AI Capabilities on the Dahua NVR2116HS-4KS3 include AI by Recorder with 4-channel Smart Motion Detection (SMD) Plus, and AI by Camera with perimeter protection and SMD Plus, distinguishing people and vehicles from irrelevant motion to reduce false alarms and enhance intelligent monitoring accuracy.
Storage is handled through a single SATA interface supporting HDDs of up to 20 TB, allowing for extensive video retention on a single drive without the added cost or complexity of a multi-bay chassis.
This NVR is designed with convenience in mind, featuring one-click arming and disarming for straightforward system control, letting administrators quickly enable or disable video surveillance without navigating complicated settings menus.
Third-party camera compatibility is supported through ONVIF compliance, giving the Dahua NVR2116HS-4KS3 flexibility to integrate with a broader mix of IP cameras beyond Dahua’s own lineup, along with 2 USB ports and a Gigabit RJ45 port for expanded connectivity.
Remote Surveillance capabilities allow P2P video playback on mobile devices, providing flexibility and convenience for administrators who need to check on their surveillance system while away from the site.
With flexible desktop or rack mounting, its compact 1U design, and robust codec support, the Dahua NVR2116HS-4KS3 offers a dependable, cost-effective way to manage 16-channel IP surveillance for growing businesses and residential properties alike.
