IP recorders (NVR) HiLook

HiLook IP recorders (NVR) are network devices for recording and storing video from IP surveillance cameras. Many people simply call them the recorder or recording server. The HiLook line (Hikvision's budget brand) supports connecting cameras over the network and PoE, high-resolution recording, motion detection and remote archive viewing from a smartphone. It is a cost-effective solution for homes, offices and small shops. SAT Solutions supplies HiLook NVRs in Tashkent and throughout Uzbekistan. We select a recorder to match the required number of cameras and archive size, with PoE ports to power cameras over a single cable where needed. Our engineers install the NVR, configure recording, archive depth and remote access. We prepare a commercial quote within 30 minutes and provide delivery and a warranty on equipment and installation. Q: How does an NVR differ from a DVR? A: An NVR is a network recorder for IP cameras — it receives video over the network and often powers cameras via PoE. A DVR works with analog cameras over coax. For a Hikvision/HiLook IP camera system you specifically need an NVR. Q: How many cameras should a HiLook NVR support? A: HiLook recorders come in 4, 8, 16 and more channels. We select a model with room for future expansion and calculate the hard-drive capacity for the required archive depth. Q: Can I view the recorder's archive remotely? A: Yes, HiLook NVRs support remote viewing and playback of the archive via the Hik-Connect app from a smartphone and computer. We set up access during installation.
