DVR recorders for hybrid and analogue HD CCTV systems
This range covers 4, 8 and 16-channel DVRs spanning 1080p through to 8 MP resolution, built around H.265 and H.265+ compression to keep storage demands manageable on longer retention schedules.
Most units are hybrid (5-in-1) recorders, accepting BNC analogue HD cameras alongside a limited number of IP camera channels on the same unit — useful when upgrading a site in stages rather than replacing every camera at once.
How to choose
- Channel count — 4-ch for small premises, 8-ch for typical retail/commercial sites, 16-ch (e.g. the Dahua EZ-IP XVR1B16-I) for larger estates.
- Resolution — ranges from 1080p (Hikvision iDS-7204HQHI-K1/2S) up to 8 MP (Hikvision 4-ch and 8-ch 1U models).
- Hybrid IP capacity — varies by model: the ANNKE 3K Lite takes up to 2 IP cameras, the ANNKE 8MP 4K up to 4, the 5MP 4-channel hybrid unit just 1.
- Smart analytics — Hikvision AcuSense models and the ANNKE 3K Lite include human and vehicle detection to cut false alerts from irrelevant motion; the ANNKE 8MP 4K unit is not listed with this feature.
- Remote access — HIK-Connect support appears on the Hikvision DVR-8CH-HYL2MP for app-based viewing.
Match the DVR to existing camera signal types and required retention before specifying storage drives separately.
