TP-Link VIGI NVR2016H – 16 Channel 4K PoE Network Video Recorder | 20TB Storage, 16-Channel Playback, H.265+ | SKU: VIGI NVR2016H

TP-Link VIGI NVR2016H (SKU: VIGI NVR2016H) is a professional-grade 16-channel network video recorder (NVR) engineered for large-scale surveillance environments that demand ultra-clear resolution, high storage capacity, and seamless camera integration. Designed by TP-Link’s VIGI security division, this recorder supports real-time monitoring, multi-channel playback, and advanced video compression—making it a trusted solution for comprehensive property protection.

Ultimate Surveillance Clarity with 4K HDMI & 16MP Decoding

With support for up to 8MP camera resolution and 16MP decoding capacity, the VIGI NVR2016H ensures crystal-clear image output via 4K HDMI. Whether managing a multi-site facility, office building, industrial warehouse, or retail chain, users can simultaneously view up to 8 channels in 2MP, or configure live feeds to match their surveillance needs.

Full 16-Channel Synchronous Playback

Unlike basic recorders, the VIGI NVR2016H enables simultaneous playback of up to 16 channels, making it easy to analyse footage from multiple zones at once. Filter by date, event, or tag, then quickly scrub through footage with variable playback speeds. This feature is ideal for high-security sites like banks, schools, logistics hubs, and hospitality venues where multi-angle analysis is vital.

Efficient H.265+ Compression Technology

The integrated H.265+ video codec compresses footage without reducing visual quality, significantly lowering bandwidth and storage consumption. Users benefit from longer storage durations, reduced network strain, and improved remote streaming performance. This smart compression is particularly useful in 24/7 recording environments with high-definition cameras.

Massive 20TB Storage for Extended Archiving

Equipped with two SATA interfaces, the NVR2016H supports up to 20TB of total storage (10TB per drive), giving users the ability to retain as much as 1048 days of continuous footage. This is essential for industries requiring extended archiving for compliance, legal, or investigatory purposes.

Seamless ONVIF-Compatible Integration

The VIGI NVR2016H is ONVIF compliant, allowing it to connect with a wide range of IP cameras from VIGI and third-party brands. Whether you're upgrading from an older system or integrating mixed brands across sites, compatibility is hassle-free and scalable.

Plug & Play Setup with One-Click Initialization

The Plug & Play functionality enables automatic recognition and activation of VIGI IP cameras. With One-Click System Initialization, users can instantly set up HDDs, camera configurations, and storage schedules—streamlining deployment and reducing installation time.

Remote Access & Two-Way Audio

Using the VIGI app or VIGI Client software, remote users can monitor live feeds, playback recordings, and configure settings anytime, from anywhere. The built-in two-way audio functionality allows real-time communication or deterrence through compatible cameras—ideal for reception desks, parking gates, or loading bays.

Real-World Application Example

A logistics company with multiple storage bays deploys the VIGI NVR2016H to manage footage from 16 strategically placed PoE cameras. The security manager uses 4K live viewing on a central monitor to oversee operations, while the IT team remotely manages storage and settings via the VIGI Client. Should any incident arise, they can instantly replay multi-angle footage, extract clips, and store backups without interrupting ongoing surveillance.
