The Hikvision DS-7216HQHI-M1 16-Channel DVR designed for advanced surveillance systems combining analog and IP inputs. With support for HDTVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS analog signals as well as IP camera streams, the unit offers flexibility for upgrade and hybrid deployments. It includes deep-learning-based analytics (Motion Detection 2.0, human/vehicle classification, perimeter protection) to reduce false alarms and deliver reliable event detection. Video compression is handled via H.265 Pro (with backward H.265/H.264 support) to optimise storage use and network load. The unit supports analogue channels up to 3K/5 MP-lite encoding and up to 24 IP camera channels (depending on model/firmware). With a single SATA interface supporting large-capacity drives and HDMI output up to 4 K resolution, the DS-7216HQHI-M1 offers a complete package of modern recording, analytics and display capability for mid-sized commercial installations.Key Features16 Channel Hybrid Input: Supports analog (HDTVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS) and IP cameras for flexible system expansion. Deep-Learning Analytics (AcuSense): Human/vehicle classification via Motion Detection 2.0 improves alarm accuracy. High-Efficiency Compression: H.265 Pro ensures reduced file sizes and lower bandwidth usage. High Resolution Support & Decoding: Capable of 3K/5 MP lite encoding on analog channels, and supports up to 6 MP on IP input in some variants. Large Storage & Display Capability: 1U rack form factor, SATA HDD support (up to 10 TB ), HDMI 4 K output and VGA for monitoring.Technical Specifications TableFeatureDetailsProduct NameHikvision DS-7216HQHI-M1 16-Channel DVRModelDS-7216HQHI-M1Analog Video Input16 channels (BNC) supporting HDTVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS input formatsIP Video InputUp to 24 channels (depending on variant) each up to 6 MP resolutionEncoding ResolutionUp to 3K / 5 MP Lite for analog channelsCompression FormatsH.265 Pro , H.265 Pro, H.265, H.264 , H.264Storage Interface1 × SATA interface, up to ~10 TB capacity per diskVideo OutputsHDMI (up to 3840×2160/30Hz) VGA outputPower Supply / Consumption12 V DC, typical consumption ≤ 24 WOperating Temperature-10 °C to 55 °C (14 °F to 131 °F)FAQ Section1. Can I use this DVR with my existing analog CCTV cameras?Yes — the DS-7216HQHI-M1 supports analog formats including HDTVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS, making it compatible with many legacy systems.2. Does it support IP cameras as well?Yes — in hybrid mode it supports IP camera inputs (up to ~24 channels depending on the variant and firmware) alongside the analog channels.3. What kind of resolution can I record on the analog channels?Analog channels can encode up to 3K/5 MP lite resolution in certain modes and up to 4 MP or higher depending on input format.4. Will this DVR reduce false alarms from leaves, shadows or light changes?Yes — the Motion Detection 2.0 analytics uses deep-learning classification to distinguish human/vehicle and reduce non-relevant alarms.5. What is the maximum storage that can be used?The DVR includes one SATA interface. Depending on region and firmware, it supports up to around 10 TB (or more) per HDD. Always verify current local specification.
