16-Channel PoE NVR for 4K Surveillance

The Helix Security HLX-NV3816E-AI is a 16-channel network video recorder designed for installations that require up to sixteen IP cameras. It delivers live view and recording at up to 8MP resolution at 30 frames per second. The unit integrates sixteen PoE ports to power compatible cameras directly. It suits installers and property owners building a centralised monitoring system.

Dual 12TB Drive Bays and ONVIF Compatibility

The recorder accommodates two hard drives up to 12TB each, providing substantial local storage capacity. Advanced H.265 compression reduces bandwidth and storage demands without sacrificing UltraHD clarity. ONVIF compliance allows integration with select third-party cameras alongside Helix PoE and WiFi models. A single network connection manages all connected PoE devices.

112Mbps Incoming Bandwidth Limit

The maximum incoming bandwidth of 112Mbps determines how many 4K streams can be recorded simultaneously without frame drops. Buyers planning more than sixteen high-bitrate channels or higher-resolution sensors should verify this ceiling matches their design. Systems requiring greater aggregate throughput will need a recorder with a higher bandwidth specification.
