Connect up to 16 compatible PoE IP cameras directly to the recorder. That can simplify installation by carrying network data and PoE connectivity through the NVR rather than requiring a separate PoE switching solution for every standard 16-camera installation.

A security camera is only as useful as the evidence it leaves behind. With support for cameras up to 12MP, this NVR gives you the flexibility to use high-resolution cameras in areas where identifying finer visual details matters.

HDMI 1 supports output up to 3840 × 2160, allowing compatible 4K displays to show significantly more visual detail. That means clearer live monitoring and a better view when reviewing important recorded events.

Human and vehicle classification helps the surveillance system distinguish the activity you are actually concerned about. ENS specifically positions this capability as a way to improve detection accuracy and help reduce unnecessary false alarms, so attention can stay focused on people and vehicles rather than irrelevant movement. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

The recorder supports advanced face functions including face detection, face comparison, picture search, recognition alarms, and stranger-match alarms. It can manage 32 face libraries with up to 10,000 face pictures and compare as many as 18 pictures per second.

Instead of manually searching through hours of footage, these tools can make it easier to investigate who appeared at a property and locate relevant events.

When paired with compatible AI IP cameras, the NVR supports license plate recognition. This makes it especially useful for driveways, parking facilities, gated properties, warehouses, and other locations where vehicle activity may be important to an investigation.

Supported VCA functions include region intrusion, tripwire detection, abandoned objects, missing objects, and video exception events. Rather than relying only on continuous recording, compatible analytics can help bring important activity to your attention and make recorded events easier to locate.

An incident rarely happens in front of only one camera. The ED9616H5NV-16P-AN supports simultaneous playback of up to 16 channels, helping you follow an event across multiple camera angles without reviewing every channel individually.

Search recordings by time slice, time, event, tag, or smart search. Different event types can also be highlighted using different colors, helping operators narrow down relevant recordings instead of manually scrolling through an entire timeline.

The recorder includes four SATA interfaces supporting up to 10TB per hard drive, plus an eSATA interface. That gives larger surveillance installations considerably more flexibility when balancing camera count, recording quality, and desired retention time.

With 160 Mbps incoming and 160 Mbps outgoing bandwidth, the recorder is designed to handle substantial network video traffic from a multi-camera surveillance system.

Support for H.265S, H.265+, H.265, and H.264 gives installers flexibility when configuring video streams and storage usage based on the capabilities of the connected cameras.

The recorder supports surveillance from iOS and Android devices, along with NAT and QR-code setup. Web Client and CMS access also support remote preview, playback, backup, PTZ control, and configuration, giving authorized users more flexibility to manage the system without standing in front of the recorder.

The datasheet confirms compatibility with third-party IP cameras through standards such as ONVIF. This can provide greater flexibility when upgrading an existing system or selecting compatible cameras for a new installation.

For retail and commercial environments, the NVR supports POS information overlay on live video and playback. This can make surveillance footage more useful when reviewing activity around transactions or investigating a specific event.

With 16 local alarm inputs and 4 alarm outputs, the recorder can integrate with compatible security devices and trigger actions such as recording, snapshots, PTZ presets, and e-mail notifications.
