TP-Link · VIGI · 16 channel rack NVR

Sixteen cameras, four drive bays.
Rack width. Two HDMI. No PoE.

This is the VIGI NVR4016H: a 440 mm wide, 44 mm high recorder for up to sixteen IP cameras, with four drive bays of up to 16TB each and two HDMI outputs. It has no PoE ports, so the cameras are powered by a PoE switch.

In one sentence: the VIGI-NVR4016H is a TP-Link VIGI 16-channel network video recorder without PoE, in a 440 × 330 × 44 mm rack-width chassis, recording cameras up to 8MP at 320 Mbps, with four SATA bays of up to 16TB each.

No PoE ports. You need a PoE switch for the cameras.

This recorder has no PoE ports and no camera ports of its own. Cameras plug into a PoE switch, and the switch connects to one of the recorder's two network ports. It ships without hard drives: choose the drive size in the options above, or fit your own.

The NVR4016H takes sixteen cameras up to 8MP over the network, 320 Mbps in total, twice the 160 Mbps of the VIGI NVR2016H-16P. Four bays hold up to 64TB. Two Gigabit network ports, two HDMI outputs, sixteen alarm inputs and four alarm outputs sit on the back, with a mains inlet instead of a power brick.

Front

Two USB ports and status lights.

Two USB 2.0 ports on the front for the mouse, a keyboard or a USB drive for backups, plus status lights. 440 × 330 × 44 mm.

Two Gigabit RJ45 ports, two HDMI, one VGA, eSATA and USB 3.0. Sixteen alarm inputs and four alarm outputs on terminal blocks, RS-232, RCA audio in and out, a grounding terminal and a 100–240 VAC inlet.

How it goes in

From the rack to the first camera.

Rack it or shelve it

440 mm wide and 44 mm high, with brackets in the box. On rack angle rails TP-Link recommends a tray (not included) because of the weight. 100–240 VAC.

Fit the drives

Four SATA bays take drives of up to 16TB each. If you chose a drive in the options, it comes with the recorder. Power off before fitting a drive.

Connect the PoE switch

Each camera plugs into a PoE switch port. Then run one cable from the switch to a LAN port on the recorder.

Add the cameras and the app

Connect a screen and the mouse, add the cameras, then link the recorder to your router and the VIGI app.

Pair it with

What this recorder needs

Switching

A PoE switch

The recorder has no PoE ports. A 16-port PoE+ switch such as the TP-Link Omada DS1018GMP powers sixteen cameras. Check its power budget covers your cameras.

Storage

Surveillance drives

Choose the drive size in the options above, or fit your own. Each of the four bays takes up to 16TB.

Cameras

VIGI and InSight cameras

TP-Link VIGI and InSight cameras such as the InSight S485, S385 and S285. ONVIF cameras from other brands also record.

Security

A lockable cabinet and a UPS

Keep the recorder out of reach, for example in the 24SECCAB security cabinet, and on a UPS so recording carries on through short power cuts.

Where it is used

Sites with their own network rack.

Offices with a comms rack

Sits beside the switches, cameras on the existing PoE network.

Warehouses and yards

Roller doors, loading bays and fence lines, with four bays for longer recording.

Retail and showrooms

Counters, entries and stockroom, with a second screen for the front desk.

Schools and clubs

Halls, grounds and car parks on one recorder.

Strata and apartments

Car park, lobbies and bin rooms, recorded in the building's comms cupboard.

Upgrades from an older NVR

Reuses the PoE switches and cabling already on site.

Each model has its own TP-Link datasheet; both columns come from those datasheets. Both are the same 440 × 330 × 44 mm chassis and need a PoE switch for the cameras.

Common questions

Does this NVR power the cameras?

No. The NVR4016H has no PoE ports. Power the cameras from a PoE switch and connect the switch to one of the recorder's network ports.

What PoE switch do I need?

One with a PoE port for each camera and a power budget that covers all of them. For sixteen cameras, a 16-port PoE+ switch such as the TP-Link Omada DS1018GMP. Ask us and we will size it for your cameras.

Is a hard drive included?

Not as standard. Choose the drive size in the options above, from 2TB to 10TB, or fit your own surveillance drives. The recorder needs a drive to record.

How much storage can it hold?

Four SATA drives of up to 16TB each, 64TB in total, plus an eSATA port for an external storage device.

What camera resolution does it record?

Up to 8MP (4K) per camera, within 320 Mbps of incoming bandwidth in total.

How many cameras can I play back at once?

Up to 16 channels together, fewer if their total resolution passes 32MP. At 30 fps it decodes 4 channels at 8MP or 8 at 4MP; at 25 fps, 16 at 1080p.

Can I use two screens?

Yes. HDMI1 runs up to 4K and works alongside HDMI2 or VGA (both up to 1080p). HDMI2 and VGA can't be used together; if both are plugged in, HDMI2 wins.

Why does it have two network ports?

It has two Gigabit RJ45 ports. TP-Link's datasheet doesn't say how the second port is used, so confirm with us before planning a separate camera network.

Will it work with other camera brands?

Yes, ONVIF Profile S and T cameras. TP-Link notes some features may not work fully with other brands and recommends VIGI cameras for the best results.

Where do the human and vehicle alarms come from?

From the cameras. Line crossing, intrusion, human and vehicle detection need a camera that supports them. The recorder records the event and lets you play back by event.

Can it go in a rack?

Yes, it is 440 mm wide and 44 mm high with mounting brackets in the box. Because of its weight, TP-Link recommends a tray (not included) on rack angle rails.

Can I watch the cameras on my phone?

Yes, with the VIGI app for Android and iOS, VIGI Security Manager on a PC, or a web browser.

Installation and safety

Mains recorder. 100–240 VAC into an existing power point is normal use. A new circuit or any switchboard work needs a licensed electrician. Power off before fitting or removing a drive.

Camera cabling. Concealed cabling between the cameras, the switch and the recorder is customer cabling under AS/CA S009 and needs an ACMA-registered cabler.

Privacy and audio. Recording people and conversations is covered by state and territory surveillance laws. Point cameras at your own property and check the rules before you record audio.

What it does not do. No PoE ports and no analogue (coax) inputs. Cameras need a PoE switch or their own power. Smart alarms need cameras that support them.
