VIP Vision · Professional AI · 16 channel PoE

Sixteen cameras, one cable each.
16 PoE ports. Four drive bays. 1.5U.

This is the NVR16PRO16P-I3: a 1.5U recorder that powers and records up to sixteen IP cameras through its own 16-port PoE switch, with four drive bays of up to 16TB each.

In one sentence: the NVR16PRO16P-I3 is a VIP Vision Professional AI 16-channel network video recorder in a 1.5U chassis, with 16 built-in PoE ports, recording up to 32MP, 384 Mbps of bandwidth and four SATA bays of up to 16TB each.

Recorder only, unless you choose drives.

The recorder ships without drives. Choose up to two drives in the options above, or fit your own surveillance drives in the four bays. The built-in PoE ports power the cameras.

Four bays inside, up to 16TB each.

Four SATA bays take up to 16TB each, 64TB in total. Recording runs from 32MP (6528 × 4896) down to QCIF. One USB 2.0 port on the front for backups and the mouse.

Rear

Sixteen PoE ports and a Gigabit uplink.

16 × 100 Mbps PoE ports (802.3af/at), one Gigabit network port to your router, eSATA, two HDMI, two USB 3.0 and two VGA. Mains is 100–240 VAC, with a power switch.

How it goes in

From the shelf to the first camera.

Place the recorder

1.5U, 440 mm wide and 415 mm deep. Put it on a shelf or in a rack with air around the vents, near your router. 100–240 VAC.

Fit the drives

Up to four SATA drives of up to 16TB each. If you chose drives in the options, they come with the recorder.

Plug in the cameras

One network cable from each camera to a PoE port. Keep within 25.5 W per port and 130 W in total.

Set up the AI

Connect a screen and the mouse, run the start-up wizard, then turn on face, IVS or SMD rules on the channels that need them.

Both columns come from the same VIP Vision Professional AI PoE NVR datasheet. The 32-channel model has the same 16 PoE ports, so cameras 17 to 32 need a separate PoE switch.

Common questions

Does this NVR power the cameras?

Yes. It has 16 PoE ports (802.3af/at) supplying up to 25.5 W per port and 130 W in total. Ports 1 to 8 also support ePoE.

Are hard drives included?

Not as standard. Choose up to two drives in the options above, 4TB to 14TB each, or fit your own. The four bays take up to 16TB each.

How much storage can it hold?

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

What resolution can it record?

Up to 32MP (6528 × 4896) per camera, within 384 Mbps in total, or 200 Mbps with AI switched on.

What changes when AI is switched on?

Bandwidth drops from 384 Mbps to 200 Mbps, and decoding drops from 16 channels at 4MP to 12.

What AI does the recorder run itself?

Face detection and recognition on 2 channels, AI tripwire and intrusion (IVS) on 4 channels with 10 rules each, and AI motion detection (SMD) on 8 channels.

Can it recognise faces from more channels?

Yes, 16 channels when face capture cameras detect the face and the NVR does the recognition. The library holds 20 databases and 20,000 images.

Does it support number plate recognition?

Yes, on the cameras. The spec table lists 8 channels and the feature list says 4, so confirm with us if you need more than 4. It stores up to 20,000 plates with block and allow lists.

How many screens can I connect?

Two. It has two HDMI outputs up to 4K and two VGA outputs up to 1080p, each screen splitting 1, 4, 8, 9 or 16 ways.

Will it work with other camera brands?

Yes, ONVIF cameras (Profile T, S and G). AI features depend on the camera; VIP Vision Professional AI cameras support them all.

What is the warranty in Australia?

4 years from VIP Vision, supported by InFront Technologies. The datasheet is on the Attachments tab.

Who can install the camera cabling?

Concealed cabling between the cameras and the recorder is customer cabling under AS/CA S009 and needs an ACMA-registered cabler. Plugging the recorder into an existing power point is normal use.

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 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. It has no analogue (coax) inputs and only one network port. PoE stops at 130 W in total.
