HIKVISION HILOOK NVR-108H-D/8P 8CH PoE Network Video Recorder H.265 NVR

The NVR-108H-D/8P is an 8-channel network video recorder for IP CCTV systems, with built-in PoE ports so cameras get power and data over one Ethernet cable each.

That built-in PoE (Power over Ethernet) matters practically: no separate power supply or injector to fit per camera, which cuts down on cabling and containment work — useful in a house, shop or small office where running mains to each camera position isn't convenient.

What it handles

• Up to 8 IP cameras, one per PoE port — plan your camera count around this ceiling before buying.
• 60 Mbps combined bandwidth (incoming and outgoing) — the shared budget across all connected cameras, so higher-resolution or higher-bitrate cameras use up that headroom faster.
• H.265+, H.265, H.264+ and H.264 compression — the newer H.265 options generally ask less of your storage for the same picture quality, which matters when sizing a hard drive.
• 4-channel 1080p simultaneous decoding for live view and playback — relevant if you want several camera feeds on screen at once.
• HDMI and VGA outputs run at the same time, so you can feed a monitor and a secondary display together.
• Mini 1U case — small enough for a shelf, cabinet or desk rather than needing a full rack.

Suits small to medium sites — a single house, small retail unit or office — rather than large multi-building installations, given the 8-channel limit and shared bandwidth pool.

Check any camera's power and bandwidth needs against this recorder's specs before committing to a system, particularly if you're mixing resolutions.
