TP-Link VIGI NVR1016H 16 Channel Network Video Recorder

TP-Link VIGI 16 Channel Network Video Recorder (VIGI NVR1016H) - 5 Years Local Warranty

The VIGI NVR1016H records sixteen IP camera channels at up to 8MP over your existing network, in a compact 246 mm chassis with one SATA bay. It has no PoE ports, so it suits a site where the cameras are already fed by a PoE switch and only the recording layer needs adding or replacing.

Sixteen Channels Over One Network Port

A single RJ-45 10/100 Mbps self-adaptive port carries all sixteen camera streams from the LAN. That keeps camera placement free of any run length back to the recorder, and lets an existing Omada or third-party PoE switch continue doing the power and aggregation. Incoming bandwidth is 80 Mbps and outgoing is 60 Mbps, which is the figure to plan sixteen streams against — it rewards sensible sub-stream configuration rather than sixteen full-resolution feeds.

8MP Recording in H.265+ on a 10 TB Drive

Recording covers 8MP, 5MP, 4MP, 3MP, 1080p, UXGA, 720p, VGA and the CIF family in H.265+, H.265, H.264+ or H.264. One SATA bay takes a drive up to 10 TB. On a sixteen-camera site H.265+ is not a nicety but the thing that makes the retention arithmetic work at all.

Sixteen-Way Display, Measured Decoding

HDMI outputs up to 3840x2160 at 30 Hz and VGA up to 1920x1080 at 60 Hz, simultaneously, with multi-view at 1, 4, 6, 8, 9 and 16 channels. Synchronous playback covers all sixteen. TP-Link publishes decoding capability for this model as 1-ch at 8MP, 2-ch at 4MP or 4-ch at 2MP, which is deliberately modest — this is a recorder for many channels at sensible resolutions rather than a high-resolution review station.

Smart Detection With Human and Vehicle Classification

General alarms cover motion detection, video tampering, line crossing, intrusion, region entering and exiting, object abandoned and removal, vehicle detection and human detection. Anomaly alarms cover video loss, offline and IP conflict, disk exception and login exception. Linkages include recording, white-light alarm, buzzer, log and audible alarm.

ONVIF, VIGI App and VIGI Security Manager

Management runs from the local GUI, a browser (Chrome 57+, Firefox 52+, Edge 91+), the VIGI app on Android and iOS, or VIGI Security Manager. Interoperability is ONVIF and CGI. TP-Link notes that some features may operate sub-optimally with non-VIGI cameras, and that some peripherals — a wireless mouse, for instance — may be incompatible with the local interface.

Ideal For

Singapore schools, factories, condominium estates and multi-tenant buildings with sixteen cameras already on PoE switching, and installers consolidating several small recorders into one. Supplied by SourceIT with local Singapore warranty, GST invoice and project pricing on request.
