NVR range for UK installations

This range covers PoE network video recorders from 4 to 32 channels, suited to jobs from a single-office WiFi setup to multi-building PoE deployments.

Every unit records from IP cameras and most include AcuSense or H.265+ processing for more efficient storage use. Channel count, PoE port count, and maximum resolution are the specs that actually decide which model fits a given site.

How to choose

• Channel count — 4-channel HiLook units suit a small office or shop; 16- and 32-channel Hikvision models (including the DS-7732NI-M4) cover warehouses or multi-floor blocks.
• Built-in PoE ports — models such as the 8-ch 8 PoE or 16-ch 16 PoE NVRs power cameras directly from the recorder, removing the need for a separate switch on smaller jobs.
• Resolution ceiling — ranges from 4MP (HiLook NVR-104H-D/4P) up to 8K on several Hikvision 1U and 1.5U units, so match this to the cameras being installed, not just the site size.
• Connection type — the HiLook 4-channel WiFi NVR suits sites where cabling is impractical; PoE models suit new or rewired installs.
• Housing format — 1U and 1.5U chassis sizes affect rack space planning on larger multi-recorder installs.

Pair channel count and PoE capacity to the camera count planned, then confirm resolution headroom for future upgrades.
