Hikvision iDS-7216HQHI-M1/S 16-Channel 1080p AcuSense DVR

The Hikvision iDS-7216HQHI-M1/S is a 16-channel 1U AcuSense DVR designed for surveillance systems that need smarter event detection, flexible camera compatibility, and efficient video storage. Deep-learning-based Motion Detection 2.0 can distinguish human and vehicle targets to help reduce false alarms caused by movement such as leaves or changing lights. The recorder supports HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI, CVBS, and IP video sources, making it suitable for upgrading or expanding mixed-camera surveillance systems.

With H.265 Pro+ compression, recording up to 3K Lite / 5 MP Lite resolution, support for up to 24 network cameras in Enhanced IP mode, and a SATA interface supporting up to 10 TB, the iDS-7216HQHI-M1/S combines intelligent detection, flexible recording, and centralized playback in one compact recorder.

Important Datasheet Notes

Motion Detection 2.0 / Perimeter Protection
Motion Detection 2.0 and perimeter protection cannot be enabled at the same time. Enabling one makes the other unavailable.
Audio / Alarm Configuration
The number of audio inputs and alarm inputs/outputs may be optional depending on the specific device configuration. Hikvision indicates that the package tag identifies optional audio and alarm parameters.
Dimension Drawing
The general specification table lists the recorder as 315 × 242 × 45 mm. The separate dimension drawing on page 5 shows approximately 320 mm width, 249 mm depth, and 48 mm height. These values are presented separately because both appear in the manufacturer datasheet.
