Product Description
Hikvision IDS-7216HQHI — 16ch 5MP DVR, 10TB pre-installed
A 16-channel 1U DVR built on Hikvision's H.265 AcuSense platform, supplied with a 10TB hard drive already fitted and ready to record.
Key specs
- 16 channels — connects up to 16 cameras
- 5MP maximum recording resolution
- H.265 compression, for smaller file sizes than H.264 at equivalent picture quality
- AcuSense — Hikvision's onboard analytics, filtering out false triggers from branches or headlights to flag people and vehicle events
- 10TB hard drive pre-installed — no separate drive purchase or fitting required before commissioning
On the job
For installers specifying a mid-size analogue/HD-TVI setup, the 16-channel count and pre-fitted 10TB drive mean this unit can go straight into a van build and onto site without a parts-list detour for storage. AcuSense filtering is useful where false motion alerts from foliage or passing headlights are a recurring complaint on existing installs.
Storage planning
H.265 compression stretches the 10TB capacity further than H.264 would for the same 5MP channel count, which matters when specifying retention periods against channel count and resolution on a quote.
