§ 01Overview

What the DS-7616NXI-I2-16P-VPRO is

The Hikvision DS-7616NXI-I2/16P/VPRO is a 16-channel AI network video recorder with PoE built in and Hikvision's V-PRO analytics, made for medium to large Australian sites that want smart search.

Two dedicated AI engines split the work: one handles face pictures and AcuSearch image search, the other runs AcuSeek natural-language search, so you can find a person or vehicle by description across recorded footage. It supports face recognition (16 libraries, 50,000 images), ANPR and people counting with compatible cameras, and records up to 32MP. The recorder's AI modelling of up to 300,000 targets a day relies on Hikvision AcuSense cameras with AcuSearch enabled.

Sixteen 802.3 af/at PoE ports power and connect cameras over one cable each, HDMI outputs 4K, and two SATA bays accept drives up to 20TB. This unit is supplied without a hard drive, so you choose the capacity to suit your retention.

§ 04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the DS-7616NXI-I2-16P-VPRO

Search by description

AcuSeek lets you type a phrase such as a white van, and the recorder returns matching clips from across 16 cameras in seconds.

Two engines, faster results

One AI engine handles faces and AcuSearch image search while the other runs AcuSeek text search, so the two run in parallel.

PoE for 16 cameras

Sixteen 802.3 af/at PoE ports power and connect each camera over one cable, so a 16-camera AI system needs no separate switch.

Pick your own drive

The recorder ships without a hard drive, so you fit surveillance-rated storage sized to your retention period, up to 20TB per bay.

§ 05Where it fits

Right at home in these scenarios

Larger retail and hospitality

Search by description across tills, floors and entries to resolve incidents fast on a 16-camera site.

Warehousing and logistics

Use perimeter and behaviour search to protect docks, racking and yards.

Car parks and forecourts

Pair with ANPR cameras to log plates and search vehicle movements by description.

Campuses and clinics

Centralise cameras across buildings and use natural-language search for safety investigations.
