Features & Capabilities of Hikvision Turbo HD CCTV Camera DVR System 

Hikvision DS-7216HGHI-F1 is the highest-tier Turbo HD DVR on the DS-7200HGHI-F1 Series. That makes it a sister to the Hikvision (DS-7204HGHI-F1) Turbo HD DVR, albeit with all the features available in the lineup.  

 

  • Protect Your Area with Analog or IP CCTV Cameras 

We would like to consider the Hikvision Turbo HD DVR a hybrid, as you can use it with analog and IP network CCTV cameras. The digital video recorder has sixteen (BNC) ports compatible with HDTVI/ AHD/ HDCVI/ CVBS cameras.  

Furthermore, the DVR has a LAN / Ethernet port you can connect two network cameras by default. But it’s also possible to switch the analog channels to IP standards. Thus, increasing the support of network cameras to eighteen. 

  • Watch Your CCTV Cameras DVR in Clear, HD Quality 

The Turbo HD digital video recorder can connect with up to 1080p CCTV cameras, either on analog or IP protocol. 1080p usually delivers twice the resolution of 720p HD, allowing you to zoom images slightly without excessive pixelation. 

However, the 1080p network cameras produce clearer pictures than an analog CCTV camera of similar resolution. The reason for this is that an IP camera usually sends already processed digital video recordings to the recorder. But Analog cameras transmit an “analog” video signal, then the DVR converts to digital format: conversion often ends up losing some image pixels. 

  • Collect Evidence in Clear 1080p HD Quality 

Hikvision designed the digital video recorder with an encoding resolution of 1080p Lite/ 720p/ at up to 30fps. 1080p Lite is half the true Full HD resolution, albeit still clearer than the 720p HD quality by about 10%. 

  • Connect the CCTV Cameras DVR to 1080p Display  

The Hikvision 16-channel DVR has a built-in HDMI and VGA video output, with a maximum resolution of 1080p Full HD. HDMI usually carries digital video and audio, unlike VGA which transmits an analog video-only signal.  

So, connecting the recorder to a monitor via a HDMI cable delivers clearer images, plus it doesn’t need a separate audio cable.  

  •  Video Recording & Local Storage Options 

All the Hikvision Turbo HD digital video recorders we have gone through usually record in continuous/ scheduled/ event mode. The 24/ 7 continuous recording means you will get evidence of everything that has happened on your property.  

Hikvision has installed the DVR with a single SATA interface that has a maximum capacity of 6TB. If 6TB won’t be enough for your needs, the recorder also has two USB ports. You could use one of the ports to expand the local storage with an external hard drive disk.
