Product Description
8-channel hybrid DVR, up to 8MP per channel, HDTVI/HDCVI/AHD/CVBS input. That multi-format tolerance is the spec that matters on a mixed-estate retrofit — the recorder accepts whatever analogue standard is already on site, so a phased upgrade doesn't force a full camera swap.
Key specs
- 8 channels, analogue HD recording up to 8MP
- Input formats: HDTVI, HDCVI, AHD, CVBS
- Compression: H.265 and H.264 — lower bitrate and storage load versus older codecs
- Outputs: HDMI and VGA, Full HD display
- Remote access: HIK-Connect app and browser
- Transmission: coax and UTP (balun-dependent) for long cable runs
- Synchronous multi-channel playback for faster footage review
- Runs on an embedded Linux platform for continuous recording
Part-number variants
Listed also as DVR-4CH-HYL8MP, plus NO-HDD variants (DVR-8CH-HYL8MP-NO-HDD, DVR-4CH-HYL8MP-NO-HDD) and the +NO-HDD SKUs — same platform, different channel count and drive-fitted status. Confirm the exact part number before ordering, since channel count and HDD inclusion change between listings.
Where the hybrid input pays off
On sites where cameras were fitted in stages across different analogue standards, this DVR lets you consolidate recording onto one unit without re-cabling. Long-distance coax/UTP support extends that flexibility to larger premises where run length would otherwise force a switch to IP.
Remote management sits on HIK-Connect, giving live view, playback and system control from a phone, tablet or browser once the recorder is registered to the platform.
