8-Channel DVRs
This range covers 8-channel recorders for jobs needing eight camera inputs from a single unit, spanning both hybrid DVRs and PoE NVRs.
What's in the range
- Hybrid DVRs (Hikvision, ANNKE, Dahua, DVR-8CH-HYL2MP/HYL8MP) — accept analogue/HD-TVI/AHD/CVI cameras via BNC, with several also supporting a small number of additional IP channels for mixed-camera sites.
- PoE NVRs (Hikvision 8-ch 1U 8 PoE 8K NVR, Hikvision 8-ch 1U 8 POE AcuSense 4K NVR, HiLook NVR-108H-D/8P) — IP-only, with built-in PoE ports for direct camera power and data over a single cable, no BNC inputs.
- Resolution support across the range spans 2MP through to 8MP/4K and 8K-class recording, depending on model.
- Compression is H.265 or H.265+/H.265 Pro+ throughout, reducing storage and bandwidth versus older H.264 units.
- AcuSense/human-vehicle detection features appear on select Hikvision and ANNKE models for reduced false alerts.
How to choose
- Existing analogue cabling on site? Pick a hybrid DVR with BNC inputs.
- New-build or IP-camera estate? Pick a PoE NVR for single-cable power and data.
- Mixed estate? Choose a hybrid DVR with spare IP channels.
- Detection needs? Confirm AcuSense/human-vehicle detection is listed for that specific model.
- Match maximum recording resolution to your camera specification before ordering.
8CH — frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the DVRs and NVRs in this range?
The hybrid DVRs accept analogue/HD-TVI/AHD/CVI cameras via BNC (some also add IP channels), while the PoE NVRs such as the Hikvision 8-ch 1U 8 PoE 8K NVR and HiLook NVR-108H-D/8P are IP-only with built-in PoE ports and no BNC inputs.
Can I mix analogue and IP cameras on one recorder?
Yes, several hybrid models such as the ANNKE 4K 8 Channel Hybrid and the ANNKE 8MP 4K 8 Channel Hybrid support both BNC analogue inputs and a number of additional IP channels.
