HiLook DVR-216G-M1/T — 16‑channel Turbo‑HD hybrid DVR (1080P‑Lite)

The HiLook DVR-216G-M1/T is a compact 1U hybrid Turbo‑HD recorder designed for analogue HD CCTV systems with optional IP camera expansion. It supports HDTVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS inputs plus IP cameras, efficient H.265/H.264 compression, simultaneous HDMI and VGA outputs and HiLook/Hikvision network features for remote access.

• 16 × BNC analogue inputs (HDTVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS); 2 × built‑in IP channels (expandable to 18 total).
• H.265 Pro+/H.265 Pro/H.265/H.264 compression for reduced storage and bandwidth.
• Motion Detection 2.0 with human/vehicle classification to reduce false alarms.
• Audio support: 1 × RCA audio in, 1 × RCA audio out, audio‑over‑coax for 16 channels.
• HDMI and VGA outputs (1920×1080/60Hz) — simultaneous display; synchronous playback up to 16 channels.
• 1 × internal SATA bay for DVR storage (check datasheet for supported maximum HDD capacity by region).
• Network: 1 × RJ45 10/100 Mbps; supports Hik‑Connect, DDNS and ONVIF for third‑party camera compatibility.

Use cases: Ideal for small-to-medium analogue CCTV installations that require an upgrade path to IP cameras, or for installers wanting a hybrid recorder with efficient compression and deep‑learning motion detection.

Safety & compliance: Verify regional firmware/variant (M1/T, M1/E, etc.) and consult the official datasheet/user manual for exact regulatory markings (CE/UKCA) and supported HDD limits. Follow typical UK electrical safety guidance: isolate mains before installation, use a qualified electrician for fixed wiring, and ensure correct earthing and cable management.
