Hikvision DS-7616NI-SP — 16-Channel PoE NVR for IP CCTV

The Hikvision DS-7616NI-SP is a 16-channel network video recorder with 16 built-in PoE ports — power and connect IP cameras directly via a single Ethernet cable per camera. H.265+ compression, HDMI output, and ONVIF compatibility make it a practical backbone for IP CCTV deployments in small to medium commercial sites. No HDD included — add your own drive to begin recording. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

Key Benefits

• 16 built-in PoE camera ports: Each channel carries power and video over a single Ethernet cable — no separate PoE switch needed for most installations.
• H.265+ recording: Advanced compression reduces storage consumption significantly compared to H.264, keeping more footage on the same HDD without sacrificing image quality.
• HDMI + VGA output: Connect a monitor directly for live viewing and playback without a PC — supports direct wall-display or security desk setups.
• ONVIF compatibility: Works with a broad range of ONVIF-compliant IP cameras from third-party manufacturers — not locked to Hikvision cameras only.
• Remote viewing: Access live and recorded footage via the Hik-Connect app or iVMS-4200 PC software — useful for multi-site monitoring.
• Motion detection and alerts: Configurable motion zones trigger recording and alerts — reduces storage compared to continuous recording across all 16 channels.

Performance in Use

The DS-7616NI-SP suits commercial CCTV installations in retail, warehouses, car parks, and office buildings where 16 cameras cover the site. The built-in PoE eliminates the need for a separate PoE switch in most camera runs — a single Cat5e/Cat6 cable from each camera to the NVR handles both power and video. Maximum PoE camera cable run is typically up to 100 metres.

H.265+ compression is a significant practical advantage: a typical full-HD camera recording at 2MP with H.265+ consumes roughly half the storage of H.264 at equivalent quality. For a 16-camera site retaining 30 days of footage, this means a meaningfully smaller HDD requirement — or more days of retention on the same drive. For longer retention periods or higher resolution cameras, larger drives (4TB–10TB surveillance-grade) are recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it come with a hard drive?

No — the DS-7616NI-SP does not include a HDD. Install a compatible SATA surveillance-grade drive (Western Digital Purple or Seagate SkyHawk recommended) to enable recording.

Can I use non-Hikvision cameras?

Yes — the NVR is ONVIF-compliant and works with a wide range of third-party ONVIF IP cameras. Advanced analytics features typically require Hikvision cameras.

Does the NVR power cameras directly?

Yes — all 16 camera ports are PoE-capable. Connect an IP camera via Ethernet and the NVR provides both power and video over the same cable. No separate PoE switch or injector needed.

Can I view footage remotely?

Yes — remote access is supported via the Hik-Connect mobile app (iOS and Android) and iVMS-4200 desktop software when the NVR is connected to your network.

What shipping costs apply?

Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout.

What warranty is included?

Every DS-7616NI-SP from Reboot IT includes a 12-month return-to-base warranty covering the NVR and all PoE ports.
