Connect up to 16 compatible IP cameras directly to the NVR while supplying power through PoE. That means fewer separate power supplies and a cleaner, more centralized surveillance installation.

The recorder supports 8MP, 5MP, 4MP, 3MP, 1080P, 960P, and 720P IP cameras at 25/30fps. This gives you flexibility to use different camera resolutions throughout a property while supporting high-resolution video where detail matters most.

With HDMI output up to 3840 × 2160, the recorder can display your surveillance system on a compatible 4K monitor. Instead of investing in high-resolution cameras only to view them through a low-resolution interface, you can take advantage of a much clearer local display.

With 160Mbps access and 160Mbps transfer bandwidth, the NVR is designed to handle the demands of a multi-camera IP surveillance system while supporting high-definition video across its channels.

When an incident moves from one camera to another, reviewing each channel individually can make it harder to understand what happened. The ED9616H5NV-16P-A supports simultaneous playback of up to 16 channels, helping you follow an event across multiple camera views.

The NVR supports face detection and face comparison, with 16 face libraries capable of storing up to 10,000 face pictures. It also supports picture-based searching, face tracing, allow-list and block-list alarms, and face statistics, giving compatible surveillance systems more ways to organize and investigate recorded activity.

Search recordings by time slice, time, event, or tag instead of manually working through hours of footage. Smart Search can also use highlighted colors to distinguish different recording events, helping make investigations more efficient.

The recorder includes four SATA interfaces and supports up to 8TB per hard drive. That gives you significantly more storage flexibility than a recorder with only one or two drive bays, especially when recording multiple high-resolution cameras.

Standard H.265 and H.264 compression are supported. H.265 is designed to maintain high-quality video at a lower bit rate, helping make better use of available network bandwidth and storage capacity.

Choose between manual, timer, motion, and sensor recording. Instead of forcing every camera into the same recording strategy, you can configure the system around how different areas need to be monitored.

The NVR supports surveillance from iOS and Android devices along with NAT functionality and QR-code scanning. Whether you are away from home or managing another property, compatible remote access gives you a way to stay connected to your surveillance system.

Remote functions include preview, playback, backup, PTZ operation, and configuration through supported web or CMS access. This makes the recorder practical for users who need to manage surveillance without always standing in front of the NVR.

Dual-stream technology allows high-definition video to be used for local storage while supporting a separate stream for network transmission and mobile surveillance. The result is greater flexibility when balancing recording quality with remote connectivity.

When footage becomes important, you need a practical way to preserve it. The recorder supports USB flash drives, USB mobile hard drives, and network backup, with both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 interfaces available.

The NVR supports PTZ presets and automatic cruises with up to 255 presets and 8 cruises. Two RS485 interfaces are also provided for connection to supported PTZ equipment or keyboards.

The recorder provides 8 local alarm inputs, supports 8-channel IPC alarm input, and includes 4 alarm outputs. Supported triggering actions include recording, snapshots, presets, and e-mail, giving compatible systems additional ways to react when an event occurs.

The system supports preview, recording, playback, backup, and remote access functions. That means reviewing or backing up footage does not require your surveillance workflow to revolve around one single task at a time.
