HIKVISION HILOOK NVR-108H-D/8P 8CH PoE Network Video Recorder H.265 NVR

The HIKVISION HILOOK NVR-108H-D/8P 8CH PoE Network Video Recorder H.265 NVR (SKU NVR-108H-D/8P) records up to 8 IP network cameras and powers them from its own ports. An NVR is the box that stores and replays footage from IP cameras.

What each spec means for your system

• 8 channels: one camera per channel, so plan for eight cameras or fewer.
• Built-in PoE (Power over Ethernet): each compatible camera gets power and video over one network cable. You do not need a separate power supply for each camera.
• 60 Mbps incoming and outgoing bandwidth: Mbps means megabits per second. This is the video data the recorder can handle across all its cameras.
• H.265+, H.265, H.264+ and H.264 compression: these are video formats. The H.265 options help reduce storage requirements while keeping video quality.
• Up to 4 channel 1080p decoding: up to four 1080p streams can be shown together in live view or playback.
• HDMI and VGA outputs, used at the same time: connect two displays together, one on each input type.
• Mini 1U case: a compact body for a small cabinet, rack or desktop monitoring station.

Where it suits

It is designed for small to medium installations in homes, offices and commercial premises.

To complete the system, you will need compatible IP cameras, a monitor with an HDMI or VGA input, and a hard drive for recordings.
