Hikvision DS-E16HGHI-B 16-Channel 1080p Lite H.265 DVR with 1TB eSSD

Hikvision DS-E16HGHI-B eSSD DVR Overview

The Hikvision DS-E16HGHI-B is a compact 16-channel 1080p Lite digital video recorder designed for professional CCTV installations. It combines H.265 video compression, Motion Detection 2.0 and integrated eSSD storage in a compact 1U recorder.

This model includes a built-in 1024 GB eSSD with 960 GB available capacity, eliminating the need to purchase and install a separate surveillance drive for supported deployments. Its integrated storage design also supports straightforward deployment for homes, offices, retail shops, schools, churches, hotels, estates and commercial security projects.

Integrated eSSD Storage

The Hikvision DS-E16HGHI-B comes with built-in eSSD storage rather than an empty hard-drive bay. The official specification lists 1024 GB of installed eSSD capacity, with approximately 960 GB available for recordings.

Hikvision estimates that the recorder can store approximately two weeks of video from 16 analog cameras when using the manufacturer’s default recording parameters. Actual retention time will vary according to camera resolution, frame rate, scene activity, recording schedule and configuration.

Motion Detection 2.0

Motion Detection 2.0 uses deep-learning-based classification to distinguish human and vehicle targets on the analog channels. This can help reduce unnecessary motion alerts caused by objects such as moving leaves and changing lights.

The recorder also supports quick searching by object or event type, helping installers and security personnel locate relevant footage more efficiently during playback.

• 16 analog video inputs: Connect up to 16 supported HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI or CVBS cameras through BNC interfaces.
• Additional IP video support: Supports 2 IP video inputs with resolution up to 5 MP.

• Scene-adaptive bitrate control: Automatically allocates recording bitrate according to activity in the monitored scene.
• 16-channel synchronous playback: Allows simultaneous playback across the recorder’s analog channels.

Video and Audio Connectivity

The Hikvision DS-E16HGHI-B provides simultaneous HDMI and VGA display output, with supported output resolution up to 1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz. It also supports audio input over coaxial cable on the 16 analog channels and provides one audio output through HDMI.

Audio recording is disabled by default for privacy protection and must be enabled manually when required and permitted.

Network and Remote Access
