Super HD 1080P 16 Channel DVR Security Recorder - Hybrid 6-in-1 DVR

Our review of the Super HD 1080P 16 Channel DVR finds it best suited for small businesses and serious home users who need multi-camera recording and flexible camera compatibility. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of hybrid 6-in-1 inputs and a pre-installed 2TB surveillance hard drive, which delivers days of continuous local recording without extra setup. Reviewers will appreciate the straightforward remote access via the HD Viewer app and the ability to mix 2MP and 5MP TVI, AHD, CVI, analog and IP cameras for a practical, expandable system.

Key Features

• Hybrid camera compatibility: Supports 2MP and 5MP HD TVI, AHD, CVI, RS485 PTZ and analog cameras so you can mix legacy and modern cameras on one recorder.
• Pre-installed storage: Ships with a new 2TB surveillance hard disk drive that provides roughly 5+ days of continuous local recording at highest resolution for quick out-of-box use.
• Remote viewing and playback: HD Viewer allows remote access and playback with no monthly fees, giving direct control of the DVR from iOS and Android devices.
• Network adaptability: Bitrate settings can be adjusted for slower networks and 1 Mbps upload per 1080P camera is recommended for optimal remote performance.
• Quiet cooling: Unique heat sink fan technology enables passive-like cooling and lower noise while preventing overheating during long recording sessions.
• Multi-monitor support: Offers HD-port, VGA and CVBS monitor connections and 1920 x 1080 DVR display resolution for use with TVs or computer monitors at 1080p.

Who It's For

The DVR suits small business owners, installers and homeowners who need a reliable multi-channel recorder that accepts a variety of camera types and delivers local storage without subscription fees. Its hybrid 6-in-1 compatibility is especially valuable when upgrading a system slowly or combining existing analog cameras with new HD models.

Users who rely solely on cloud-only systems or want an all-in-one cloud subscription service may want a different solution. Also, those who need more than 5+ days of highest-resolution continuous storage without changing settings should plan on larger or additional drives, since long-term retention at top quality will use significant space.

Pros & Cons
