Built for commercial properties that need wide multi-camera coverage, this 12-camera PoE system combines twelve DS-2CD2183G2-I 8MP vandal-resistant dome cameras with one DS-7616NI-Q2/16P(D) 16-channel NVR and a preinstalled 4TB hard drive. The matched configuration supports centralized local recording for offices, retail properties, warehouses, apartment communities, schools, and other multi-area sites.
Each camera uses a 2.8 mm fixed lens with a 107° horizontal field of view, human and vehicle classification, 120 dB WDR, and infrared illumination up to 98 feet. The recorder provides 16 built-in PoE ports, 160 Mbps incoming bandwidth, H.265+ compression, and capacity for up to four additional compatible cameras within its channel and bandwidth limits. Network cables are not included.
