Hikvision DS-7116HGHI-F1 | 16Ch Turbo HD DVR – Powerful, Scalable Surveillance for Growing Networks

If you’re looking for a dependable and scalable solution to expand your security system, the Hikvision DS-7116HGHI-F1 16-channel Turbo HD DVR is designed to meet those needs and more. Offering superior recording capabilities, excellent video compression, and adaptive multi-signal input, the Hikvision DS-7116HGHI-F1 stands out as a flexible and powerful DVR choice for medium to large-scale installations.

Whether you’re securing a multi-story building, a business complex, or a sprawling property, this DVR offers robust support, future-proof technology, and efficient performance to keep your surveillance operations running smoothly.

Compact and Efficient Mini 1U Design

Despite its powerful capabilities, the Hikvision DS-7116HGHI-F1 comes in a compact Mini 1U chassis. This space-saving design ensures easy installation even in environments where rack space is limited. Whether you’re setting up a dedicated security room or integrating the DVR into an existing setup, its slim form factor ensures minimal footprint without compromising performance.

Compact doesn’t mean lightweight when it comes to power — the Hikvision DS-7116HGHI-F1 is engineered to handle substantial surveillance loads while maintaining optimal system temperatures and stability.

16-Channel High-Definition Video Recording

With support for 16 video channels, the Hikvision DS-7116HGHI-F1 allows you to connect and record footage from up to sixteen analog cameras simultaneously. This is perfect for large businesses, schools, warehouses, shopping centers, or any facility that demands extensive video coverage.

The DVR records in 1080p Lite at a smooth 25/30 frames per second (fps), providing excellent visual clarity. Even though it’s “Lite” 1080p (a slightly reduced resolution to save storage space), the footage retains enough detail to ensure critical elements like facial recognition, license plates, and activity monitoring remain sharp and reliable.

Advanced Video Compression Technology

Equipped with H.264+ and H.264 compression, the Hikvision DS-7116HGHI-F1 optimizes storage efficiency by significantly reducing the size of recorded video files. This means you can store more footage without constantly upgrading your hard drives or worrying about running out of space quickly.

H.264+ is especially beneficial for long-term recording or remote streaming. It minimizes bandwidth consumption, making it easier to view real-time feeds or playback recordings across the internet or a mobile app without delays or heavy data usage.

For businesses looking to maintain months’ worth of footage or minimize cloud storage costs, this advanced compression system offers huge advantages.

Adaptive 5-Signal Input Support

A standout feature of the Hikvision DS-7116HGHI-F1 is its ability to adaptively support five different video signal types: HDTVI, AHD, CVI, CVBS, and IP. This means it can seamlessly integrate with:

HDTVI (High Definition Transport Video Interface): Delivers HD video over coaxial cable.

AHD (Analog High Definition): An economical choice for upgrading to HD quality.

CVI (Composite Video Interface): Widely used across various brands.

CVBS (Composite Video Baseband Signal): Traditional analog video.

IP (Internet Protocol): High-resolution network cameras for modern systems.

This versatility allows users to create hybrid systems, combining older analog cameras with newer HD or IP cameras without needing separate equipment. The Hikvision DS-7116HGHI-F1 automatically detects and adjusts to the camera type, making setup quicker and easier.

Expandable Support for Network Cameras

Beyond its 16 analog inputs, the Hikvision DS-7116HGHI-F1 supports the addition of up to 18 network (IP) cameras. This gives you the flexibility to gradually transition toward a full IP-based surveillance system without replacing your entire infrastructure at once.

If your future plans involve integrating ultra-HD cameras, smart detection analytics, or cloud-managed devices, this DVR can grow alongside your evolving needs.

High Capacity Storage and Smooth Operation

The DVR includes one hard disk drive (HDD) bay, capable of supporting large-capacity drives (up to 6TB depending on model updates). With efficient video compression and a high-capacity hard drive, you can expect weeks — even months — of continuous video recording without interruptions.

Thanks to its intelligent operation system, the Hikvision DS-7116HGHI-F1 supports reliable playback, smart search functions, and remote access, making it easier than ever to manage your video evidence when you need it most.

Easy Remote Access and Mobile App Integration

Security doesn’t end when you leave the premises. With the Hikvision DS-7116HGHI-F1, you can access your system remotely using Hikvision’s Hik-Connect app or a compatible web browser.

View live feeds, Play back archived footage
