Product Description
The DVR-8CH-HYL8MP is an 8-channel recorder for analogue HD CCTV cameras, recording at up to 8MP per channel. It's a hybrid unit, meaning it accepts several analogue camera signal types rather than locking you into one brand's format.
What it does
- Camera compatibility: works with HDTVI, HDCVI, AHD and CVBS cameras — useful if you're upgrading an older system without rewiring
- Compression: H.265 and H.264, both of which shrink file sizes so your hard drive lasts longer before footage is overwritten
- Outputs: HDMI and VGA, both supporting Full HD display on a monitor
- Remote access: HIK-Connect app or web browser, for live viewing and playback away from site
- Playback: multiple channels can be reviewed at once, which speeds up checking footage after an incident
- Cabling: supports coaxial and UTP transmission for longer cable runs
- Runs on: an embedded Linux platform intended for continuous recording
Before you buy
Check your cameras' signal type matches one the DVR supports — mixing formats works as long as each camera is HDTVI, HDCVI, AHD or CVBS. This listing also covers 4-channel and no-hard-drive variants, so confirm you're selecting the 8-channel model with a drive if that's what you need. A hard drive isn't mentioned as included on every variant, so check before ordering if you need one ready to go.
