HiLook 8-ch Mini 1U 8 PoE NVR

HiLook NVR-108MH-D/8P — 8-channel PoE recorder for small sites

If you're running up to eight IP cameras across a shop, office or home, this box records, powers and manages the lot without extra kit. "PoE" (Power over Ethernet) means each camera gets power and data down one network cable — no separate power adapters, no PoE switch to buy.

What it actually does

• 8 built-in PoE ports (IEEE 802.3af/802.3at) — plug cameras straight in, no switch needed
• Records up to 6MP per camera using H.265+/H.265/H.264+/H.264 compression, which keeps file sizes down without visibly softening the image
• 60 Mbps in and out — enough headroom for 8 cameras recording and one or two people viewing remotely at the same time
• Playback: 4 channels at once in 1080p, or 2 channels at 4MP, if you need to review several cameras side by side
• HDMI and VGA together, up to 1920×1080, so you can run a monitor in the office and a second screen elsewhere

Before you buy — check these

• Storage: one SATA bay, up to 6TB. No hard drive is included by default (the -NO-HDD listing makes this explicit), so budget for one separately if you don't already have a compatible drive.
• Camera compatibility: this pairs with PoE-capable IP cameras — check any camera's max resolution against the 6MP ceiling before committing to a mix of models.
• Remote viewing: works through HiLookVision software, a web browser, or a mobile app, so you're not tied to being on-site to check footage.
