16 Channel 5-in-1 Hybrid DVR with Optional HDD

16 Channel 5-in-1 Hybrid DVR for Larger Security Systems

This 16-channel hybrid DVR is built for larger CCTV installations where camera count, retention, and future expansion matter. It lets you keep existing coax/BNC wiring, support common HD-over-coax formats, and choose the hard drive option that fits the recording workload.

Best For

• Warehouses, larger retail spaces, multi-room offices, and commercial properties
• Replacing an older 16-channel DVR without rewiring every camera run
• Sites with mixed analog camera formats or phased IP camera upgrades

5-in-1 Camera Compatibility

Use this recorder with HD-TVI, AHD, CVI, legacy CVBS analog cameras, and supported IP cameras. It is a strong fit for buildings where legacy coax wiring is already installed and the client wants a cleaner recorder upgrade instead of a full system replacement.

Choose Your Hard Drive Option

Available storage options include No HDD, 1TB, 2TB, or 4TB pre-installed storage. Choose No HDD if you are supplying your own compatible SATA surveillance drive, or select a pre-installed option when the unit needs to be ready to configure and record.

Local Recording With Remote Viewing

Footage records locally to the drive inside the DVR. Remote viewing is available from iPhone, Android, PC, or Mac when the recorder is connected to the network. Motion, scheduled, and continuous recording modes help match storage retention to the job.

Why Channel Count Matters

A 16-channel recorder gives larger systems room to cover entrances, cash-handling areas, stockrooms, loading docks, offices, and exterior zones on one recorder. It also gives installers more flexibility when clients add cameras after the first quote.

Common Questions

Should I choose 8 channels or 16 channels?
If the job needs more than 6 cameras today, or the client is likely to add cameras later, 16 channels usually prevents an early recorder replacement.

Will it work with existing coax?
Yes, for compatible TVI, AHD, CVI, or CVBS analog cameras using BNC/coax connections.

How much storage should I choose?
Storage depends on camera count, bitrate, recording mode, and retention target. Larger 16-channel systems usually benefit from choosing more drive capacity up front.
