Product details

DAHUA LITE 4KS3 NETWORK RECORDING

NVR2116-4KS3 16-Channel NVR

12MP | 1 SATA bay up to 20TB | 4-channel SMD | Smart H.265+

Model-specific recording for a dependable IP CCTV system

The Dahua DHI-NVR2116-4KS3 is a sixteen-channel smart Lite Series recorder with one SATA bay. It accepts compatible IP cameras up to 12MP and offers up to 144 Mbps incoming and recording bandwidth when recorder AI is disabled.

Four channels of recorder-side SMD classify people and vehicles, while camera-side perimeter and SMD events can be received from compatible cameras. Smart H.265+, 4K HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet and mobile access suit growing commercial systems.

Key benefits for installers and security teams

16-channel capacity: Sixteen inputs provide room for multi-zone coverage in one compact recorder.

1 SATA bay up to 20TB: One HDD up to 20TB keeps the chassis compact; retention should be calculated carefully for sixteen channels.

4-channel recorder SMD: Four selected streams can receive recorder-side false-alarm filtering while compatible cameras supply their own analytics.

Where this NVR fits

Designed for offices, schools, showrooms, clinics, apartments and warehouses needing sixteen IP channels with compact one-HDD storage and selected-channel SMD.

Recording days are not fixed. They depend on camera count, resolution, codec, frame rate, bitrate, recording schedule, scene activity and installed surveillance-HDD capacity.

Compatibility, bandwidth and AI planning

Before ordering, total the main-stream and sub-stream bitrates, required live-view layouts, simultaneous playback, display resolution, analytics and retention. Maximum camera resolution does not mean every channel can be decoded at that resolution simultaneously.

Enabling recorder-side AI reduces published network bandwidth and decoding capacity. Camera-side analytics require compatible models and firmware.

Frequently asked questions

Does NVR2116-4KS3 include a hard disk?

No. Select compatible surveillance-grade HDD capacity based on the desired recording duration.

Does it have built-in PoE ports?

No. This exact non-P model requires a suitable external PoE switch or separately powered IP cameras.

Will every ONVIF camera feature work?

Basic video commonly works, but audio, events, configuration and AI metadata vary by camera model, profile and firmware.

Can all AI functions run together?

Not always. Recorder resources, camera-side analytics and firmware determine simultaneous AI capacity.
