  • 2+ HDD bays for extended storage
  • Rack-mountable options available
  • Advanced playback and search
  • Significant hybrid IP capacity

Why Choose a 16 Channel DVR?

16 channel DVRs serve commercial sites with established coaxial infrastructure. Rather than costly rewiring to IP, organisations can upgrade to HD quality using existing cables. Hybrid models support mixed analog/IP deployments for phased migration.

16 Channel: Coax vs IP Migration

Evaluate total cost of ownership: DVR with existing coax versus NVR with new Cat6 cabling. For sites with extensive, quality coax infrastructure, DVRs often prove more economical. Our team can help analyse your specific situation.

Popular Applications
