TP-Link VIGI NVR2016H-16MP Network Video Recorder

TP-Link VIGI NVR2016H | 16-Channel 16MP Network Video Recorder

The TP-Link VIGI NVR2016H-16MP network video recorder Black is a professional-grade surveillance hub built for UK businesses and large properties needing reliable 24/7 monitoring. With support for 16 channels and 16MP resolution, it delivers crisp, detailed footage across multiple cameras without compromising performance.

16 Channels, Zero Compromise on Clarity

Sixteen independent video channels allow you to connect and manage multiple cameras across different zones—indoors, outdoors, entrances, and perimeters—without signal degradation. The NVR2016H processes footage at up to 16MP resolution, ensuring every licence plate, face, or detail remains sharp even when zoomed in. This makes it ideal for retail spaces, warehouses, and multi-site facilities where missing a detail could mean missing a critical incident.

Built for UK Network Standards

The NVR2016H supports IEEE 802.3af/at PoE standards, meaning it can power compatible cameras directly through its 16 PoE ports—reducing cable clutter and installation time. It also includes 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet, UPnP, and NTP for seamless integration into existing UK network infrastructures. With CE, UKCA, and FCC certifications, it meets regulatory requirements for use across the UK and Europe.

Flexible Storage & Playback for 24/7 Operation

Dual SATA drive bays support up to 10 TB of total storage, giving you weeks of continuous recording before overwriting. Recording modes include manual and scheduled options, while playback supports digital zoom, fast forward, and pause across all 16 channels simultaneously. Whether you’re reviewing an incident or monitoring live feeds, the system handles it without lag.

Robust Build for Commercial Environments

Housed in a durable black chassis measuring 330 x 285 x 45 mm and weighing 2.1 kg, the NVR2016H is designed for fixed installation in control rooms or server cabinets. It operates reliably in temperatures from -10°C to 55°C and humidity levels of 10-90%, making it suitable for everything from heated offices to unheated storage areas. The 40 W max power draw keeps energy costs predictable.
