Hikvision 16-Channel 8K NVR System with 8 MP ColorVu Cameras
“`
What would change if you could see important details in full color after
dark instead of trying to interpret a grainy black-and-white recording?
This system combines the 16-channel Hikvision DS-7616NI-M2/16P NVR with
DS-2CD2087G2-L or DS-2CD2087G2-LU 8 MP ColorVu bullet cameras for
high-resolution, around-the-clock monitoring.
Human and vehicle classification helps bring relevant activity to your
attention, while 130 dB WDR preserves clearer details when a scene
contains both bright light and deep shadows. Sixteen integrated PoE ports,
efficient H.265+ compression and support for two hard drives give you a
practical foundation that can grow with your property.
Whether you are protecting a home, office, store or warehouse, the result
is greater visibility and a clearer understanding of what happened when
you could not be there.

Important Camera Model Information
The supplied camera datasheet is for the 8 MP
DS-2CD2087G2-L and DS-2CD2087G2-LU. It does not cover the
4 MP DS-2CD2047G2-L named in the original product title. Confirm the
camera model, lens, audio version and package quantity before purchasing.
Why Buyers Choose This Model
“`
8 MP ColorVu imaging — See more useful detail in full color
Each DS-2CD2087G2-L(U) camera captures video at up to 3840 × 2160.
ColorVu technology combines an F1.0 aperture, a high-performance
sensor and white supplemental lighting to provide vivid color images
during the day and at night.
Human and vehicle classification — Focus on activity that matters
Deep-learning technology classifies human and vehicle targets in
supported motion and perimeter events. This helps you review relevant
movement instead of treating every change in the scene as equally
important.
130 dB WDR — Preserve details in challenging lighting
Strong sunlight, open doors and bright headlights can make ordinary
footage difficult to interpret. The camera’s 130 dB Wide Dynamic
Range helps produce clearer images when bright and dark areas appear
together.
Up to 40 m of white light — Extend full-color visibility after dark
Smart supplemental white lighting reaches up to 40 meters, supporting
ColorVu imaging when natural light is insufficient. You gain more
useful color information for driveways, entrances, yards and building
perimeters.
16 integrated PoE ports — Simplify system installation
The NVR includes 16 independent PoE network interfaces that can carry
power and data to compatible cameras. This creates a cleaner,
centralized installation without requiring a separate local power
connection for every PoE camera.
16-channel capacity — Protect more areas from one recorder
Connect as many as 16 compatible IP cameras and manage them through
one NVR. You can begin with the coverage you need today and retain
room for additional cameras as your property or security needs grow.
Up to 32 MP camera input — Build around high-resolution technology
The recorder accepts camera resolutions up to 32 MP, with support for
as many as eight 32 MP, 24 MP or 16 MP inputs. All channels support
resolutions below 16 MP, including the supplied 8 MP cameras.
8K HDMI output — View compatible footage on a high-resolution display
HDMI output supports resolutions up to 7680 × 4320 at 30 Hz. The NVR
also provides independent HDMI and VGA outputs, giving you more
flexibility when arranging local monitoring displays.
High decoding performance — Review multiple cameras smoothly
The recorder can decode up to 40 channels of 1080p video at 30 fps and
supports 16-channel synchronized playback. This makes it easier to
reconstruct an incident across several camera angles.
H.265+ compression — Use storage more efficiently
H.265+ compression can reduce storage requirements by up to 75%,
according to the NVR datasheet. This helps preserve more footage
without consuming disk capacity as quickly as less efficient formats.
Two SATA bays — Choose storage that fits your recording needs
Two SATA interfaces support hard drives with capacities up to 16 TB
per disk. This gives you a potential installed capacity of up to
32 TB, depending on the drives selected for the system.
Built-in camera storage — Add another recording destination
Each camera supports a microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC or TF card with a
capacity of up to 512 GB. Automatic Network Replenishment is also
supported, helping compatible systems restore recordings after a
network interruption.
Real-time audio option — Add sound to the visual evidence
The DS-2CD2087G2-LU variant includes a built-in microphone and
environmental noise filtering. When audio is important, this version
gives you additional context beyond the image alone.
IP67 metal construction — Monitor outdoor areas with confidence
The camera uses a metal front and back housing and carries an IP67
protection rating. It operates from -30°C to 60°C (-22°F to 140°F),
making it suitable for a broad range of indoor and outdoor locations.
Flexible lens options — Match the view to the location
Choose a 2.8 mm lens for a wide 102° horizontal view, a 4 mm lens for
an 88° view or a 6 mm lens for a narrower 54° view. This helps you
select the appropriate balance between broad coverage and a more
focused field of view.
Hik-Connect support — Stay connected when you are away
Hik-Connect and DDNS support make the recorder easier to manage over a
properly configured network. Compatible camera clients include
Hik-Connect, iVMS-4200 and HikCentral.
Security safeguards — Help protect the surveillance system itself
Secure boot, signed firmware, HTTPS, AES-128 live-view and playback
encryption, IP and MAC filtering, TLS stream encryption and
brute-force delay protection provide multiple layers of system
security.

What This System Can Help You Accomplish
“`
- See clothing, vehicle and scene colors that conventional monochrome night footage may not preserve.
- Review human and vehicle activity without giving every ordinary scene change the same priority.
- Monitor as many as 16 camera locations through one centralized recorder.
- Reconstruct events across multiple views with 16-channel synchronized playback.
- Expand recording capacity through two SATA bays and optional onboard camera storage.
- Protect entrances, driveways, parking areas, offices, stores and building perimeters day and night.

What This Helps You Avoid
“`
Imagine discovering that something happened outside your property, only
to find that the person is a dark silhouette, the vehicle color is
unclear or the strongest light in the scene concealed the details you
needed. You may have recorded the event, but did the footage actually
answer your questions?
The DS-2CD2087G2-L(U) addresses that problem with 8 MP resolution,
24/7 ColorVu imaging, 130 dB WDR and human and vehicle classification.
Instead of relying on low-detail footage and undifferentiated motion
events, you receive clearer visual information organized around more
relevant activity.
The DS-7616NI-M2/16P then brings those camera views together with
16-channel recording, synchronized playback, efficient compression and
expandable storage. The result is not simply more video—it is a more
capable system for understanding what happened and deciding what to do
next.
