Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS3 | 16-Channel 4K NVR | 16 PoE Ports | 2 SATA Bays | H.265+ Compression

Run sixteen cameras off one rack box that feeds each lens power through its own Ethernet line.


Condition: New

Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice

Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS3 is available at Mascom International for KSh 27,000, a brand new and sealed 16-channel network video recorder with 16 built-in PoE ports, two SATA hard drive bays and recording up to 4K. The Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS3 sits in Dahua's Lite 4KS3 range, takes H.265+ compressed streams from up to sixteen IP cameras, and powers each camera through the same network cable that carries its video. It fits a 1U rack slot or a plain shelf. You can see it working at our Old Mutual Building store on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery.

Built for installers, property managers and business owners across Kenya, the Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS3 handles sites that have outgrown an 8-camera system: a warehouse in Industrial Area, a school compound, a block of flats, a petrol station or a hotel. The usual headache with sixteen cameras is wiring. Each camera needs data and power, and a separate PoE switch adds cost, another box and another point of failure. Here the switch lives inside the recorder. Run one Cat6 cable to each camera, plug it into the back panel, and the Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS3 finds and powers it. Two drive bays keep footage longer before overwriting.

Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell a recorder and leave the buyer to sort out drives, power backup and app setup, Mascom International stocks the full chain: surveillance hard drives, Dahua cameras and UPS units, with staff who explain how they fit together. Customers across Nairobi tell us the built-in PoE is the reason they choose this model over a 16-channel recorder plus a separate switch. Visit the store to see the Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS3 running live cameras, or message us on WhatsApp and we will deliver it to your site with payment on arrival.

Common Questions About the Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS3

How much is the Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS3 in Kenya?
The Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS3 costs KSh 27,000 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the recorder with its 16 built-in PoE ports and a 12-month warranty, with pay-on-arrival delivery across Kenya. It ships without hard drives, so budget for one or two surveillance drives on top. For comparison, the 32-channel Dahua NVR4232-16P-4KS3 with the same 16 PoE ports is KSh 2,000 more at KSh 29,000, while the 16-channel NVR4116HS-4KS3 without PoE is KSh 15,000.

Should I buy the Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS3 or the Dahua NVR4232-16P-4KS3?
Choose the Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS3 if your site will never pass sixteen cameras, and the NVR4232-16P-4KS3 if it might. Both carry 16 PoE ports and two SATA bays. The 32-channel model accepts sixteen more cameras over the network, powered by an external PoE switch, for a KSh 2,000 difference. For a shop or home that could grow to twenty cameras, that headroom costs little. For a finished warehouse with a fixed camera plan, the 16-channel unit does the job and saves the money.

Will the Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS3 keep recording during KPLC power cuts?
The Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS3 stops recording when mains power fails unless it sits on a UPS, because the recorder also powers every camera through its PoE ports. Put the recorder and your internet router on one UPS, and all sixteen cameras keep running through the outage. The recorder accepts 100-240V AC, so it plugs straight into a standard Kenyan socket. Mascom International sells UPS units sized for recorders, and a surge-protected model also shields the recorder from mains spikes during the long rains.

Can I watch the Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS3 cameras on my phone in Kenya?
Yes, the Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS3 supports P2P connection to Dahua's DMSS app on Android and iOS, so you can view live and recorded footage from your phone. Connect the recorder's Gigabit network port to your Safaricom or Airtel home fibre router, scan the P2P code, and the feeds appear without port forwarding. Outgoing bandwidth is rated at 80Mbps, but your fibre upload speed sets the real limit. Owners in Westlands checking a shop in Kitengela often switch to the substream, a lighter copy of each feed, for smooth mobile viewing.

Who should buy the Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS3, and who should skip it?
Buy the Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS3 if you are wiring nine to sixteen IP cameras and want power and video through one cable each. It suits shops, schools, apartment blocks and small factories. Skip it for a home with four cameras, where the Dahua NVR1104HS-P-S3/H at KSh 9,000 does the job. Skip it too if you plan more than sixteen cameras; the NVR4232-16P-4KS3 or NVR4232-4KS3 is the better fit. Large sites needing 64 channels and four drive bays should look at the NVR5464-EI2.

What hard drive does the Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS3 need, and how much can it store?
The Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS3 holds two SATA surveillance drives of up to 20TB each, for a combined 40TB. Surveillance drives are designed for nonstop writing, unlike desktop drives that wear out quickly under 24-hour recording. How many days you keep depends on camera resolution, H.265+ settings and how much motion the cameras see. Mascom International stocks surveillance hard drives separately and can help you size them for your camera count before you buy, so you are not stuck with too little space.

Does the Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS3 work with non-Dahua cameras?
Yes, Dahua lists the NVR4216-16P-4KS3 as compatible with IP cameras from other brands, though Dahua cameras unlock the most features. Dahua models plugged into the PoE ports are normally detected on their own. Other brands usually connect through the network setup menu and may lose some functions, such as people counting. If you already own cameras from another maker, bring the model numbers to our Kimathi Street store and we will check the fit with the Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS3 before you commit.

How much power does each PoE port on the Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS3 deliver?
Each of the 16 PoE ports on the Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS3 delivers up to 25.5W under IEEE 802.3af/at, from a 130W total shared across all ports. That averages about 8W per camera when all sixteen are connected, which covers most fixed bullet, eyeball and dome cameras. Cameras with strong illuminators or motorised zoom draw more, so add up their ratings before filling every port. Standard Ethernet cable reaches 100 metres per run; longer distances need an extender or a switch in between.

Technical Specifications

Channels and Recording
  • 16 IP camera channels — connect up to sixteen network cameras, enough for a medium shop, school block or warehouse floor (full ordering code DHI-NVR4216-16P-4KS3).
  • Recording resolution up to 3840 × 2160 (4K, about 8MP) — capture a 4K camera at full detail for clearer faces at gates and tills.
  • Also records 1080p, 1280 × 1024 and 720p streams — older or budget cameras already on site connect without being replaced.
  • 160Mbps incoming bandwidth — about 10Mbps for each of sixteen cameras, comfortable headroom for 4K streams on H.265.
  • H.265+, H.265, H.264+ and H.264 video compression — these formats shrink video files, so the same drive holds more days of footage.

Decoding and Display Output
  • One HDMI output — connect a TV or monitor in the guard room for live multi-camera viewing.
  • One VGA (D-Sub) output — older office monitors without HDMI still work as a viewing screen.
  • Multi-screen split display — watch several cameras at once on one screen, then open a single feed when something happens.
  • Playback and backup tools — replay recorded footage and copy clips to a USB drive for police reports or insurance claims.
  • RCA audio line in and line out — attach a microphone to record sound, or a speaker for playback at the control desk.

Storage
  • Two internal SATA 3.0 bays — fit two surveillance hard drives inside the case, doubling capacity over single-bay recorders.
  • Up to 20TB per drive — a combined 40TB of storage with both bays filled.
  • Ships without hard drives — pick a capacity for your camera count; surveillance drives are sold separately at Mascom International.
  • Two USB 2.0 ports — export evidence to a flash drive, or plug in a mouse for local setup.
  • Embedded Linux operating system on an embedded processor — firmware runs from internal memory, leaving both drive bays for footage.

PoE and Network
  • 16 PoE ports under IEEE 802.3af/at — each port sends power and data to one camera over a single network cable.
  • Up to 25.5W per port — enough for standard fixed cameras and many models with built-in illuminators.
  • 130W total PoE budget — averages about 8W per camera when all sixteen ports are in use.
  • One Gigabit RJ-45 port (10/100/1000Mbps) — links the recorder to your router for remote viewing and network management.
  • HTTP, HTTPS, IPv6, DDNS, SNMP, FTP and SMTP support — IT teams can fit it into an existing network and send email alerts.

Detection Features and Remote Viewing
  • People counting — tallies foot traffic at a shop entrance, useful for retailers tracking daily visits.
  • Motion detection and video loss detection — the recorder flags movement and warns you when a camera goes offline or its cable is cut.
  • P2P remote access — scan a code with the mobile app and view cameras without port forwarding or a fixed IP address.
  • Android and iOS apps plus Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox browsers — check cameras from a phone or a laptop.
  • 4 alarm inputs and 2 alarm outputs — link door sensors or panic buttons to trigger sirens or strobe lights.

Build and Power
  • 1U form factor measuring 375 × 327.9 × 53 mm — slides into a single rack slot or sits on a cabinet shelf.
  • 2.6kg net weight — light enough for a wall shelf in a small control room.
  • 100-240V AC, 50/60Hz power input — plugs straight into mains power without an external adapter.
  • Operating range −10°C to 55°C at 10-93% humidity — copes with a warm store room or a cool upcountry office.
  • Front-panel LED indicators and CE-EMC and CE-LVD certification — status at a glance, built to European electrical safety standards.
