Built for retail shops, gated estates, schools, warehouses, and office blocks across Kenya, the NVR4216-16P-4KS3 connects 16 IP cameras through a single recorder. The 16 PoE ports send both data and power down one network cable per camera, so installers skip separate adapters at each mounting point. Security teams managing premises in Nairobi CBD, Industrial Area, and along Mombasa Road gain one central recorder for live monitoring and playback. Property managers running apartments in Kilimani, Kileleshwa, and South B record entrances, parking, and corridors around the clock. The DAHUA NVR4216-16P-4KS3 turns scattered cameras into one searchable footage archive.

Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International supplies the NVR4216-16P-4KS3 with honest channel counts, verified PoE figures, and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. Installers across Nairobi report that the 130W power budget runs a full set of 16 dome and bullet cameras without an external PoE switch. The two SATA bays hold up to 40TB combined, recording weeks of continuous footage before overwriting. At Mascom International, we're seeing growing demand for 16-channel recorders as Kenyan businesses widen their camera coverage. Visit our Nairobi CBD store to see the DAHUA NVR4216-16P-4KS3 before you buy.

The DAHUA NVR4216-16P-4KS3 is a 16-channel network video recorder that stores footage from up to 16 IP cameras. It records each camera over your network, accepts resolutions up to 12MP, and plays recordings back on a connected monitor. The unit compresses video using H.265+ to cut storage use roughly in half versus older H.264. Sixteen built-in PoE ports power and connect cameras through single cables. It suits homes, shops, and offices needing centralised camera recording across Kenya.

The NVR4216-16P-4KS3 connects up to 16 IP cameras directly through its 16 built-in PoE ports. Each port carries video data and electrical power along one cable, so cameras need no separate adapter at the wall. Total camera input bandwidth reaches 160 Mbps, enough for sixteen 1080p streams or a mix of higher-resolution feeds. For a retail shop, that covers entrances, tills, aisles, and a stockroom from one recorder. Larger sites simply add a second NVR4216-16P-4KS3 for the next 16 cameras.

The NVR4216-16P-4KS3 carries a 130W total PoE budget, with each port supplying up to 25.5W. That figure decides how many cameras the recorder powers on its own. Standard 1080p dome and bullet cameras draw 4W to 7W each, so 130W comfortably runs a full set of 16 across an estate or warehouse. Pan-tilt-zoom and heated cameras draw more, so heavy installs may split a few onto a separate supply. For most Kenyan shops and homes, no extra PoE switch is needed.

The NVR4216-16P-4KS3 holds two SATA hard drives, each up to 20TB, for 40TB of combined recording space. At a typical H.265+ bitrate, 40TB stores roughly three to four weeks of continuous footage from 16 cameras before older clips overwrite. Lowering frame rates or using motion-triggered recording stretches that to months. Hard drives are bought separately, letting you match storage to your retention needs. Mascom International stocks compatible surveillance-rated drives so your NVR4216-16P-4KS3 ships ready to record.

Yes, the NVR4216-16P-4KS3 outputs 4K resolution over HDMI and 1080p over VGA at the same time. The HDMI feed drives a modern 4K monitor or TV for sharp multi-camera live view, while VGA serves an older second screen. Running both lets a guard watch a wall display while a manager reviews playback on another. The recorder shows up to 16 camera tiles on one screen. A USB mouse, included in the box, controls the on-screen menu directly.

The NVR4216-16P-4KS3 runs SMD Plus on four channels directly, separating people and vehicles from moving trees, rain, or shadows to cut false alarms. Connected to compatible cameras, it adds face detection, face recognition, perimeter protection, people counting, and heat mapping across six channels. Perimeter protection flags anyone crossing a drawn line around a yard or compound. People counting tallies visitors entering a shop. These tools turn raw footage into searchable events, so reviewing an incident takes minutes instead of scrubbing hours of recording.

For a 16-channel recorder with 16 built-in PoE ports, KSh 25,500 places the NVR4216-16P-4KS3 among the better-value options on the Kenyan market. Buying a 16-channel recorder plus a separate 16-port PoE switch usually costs more and adds wiring. This single unit replaces both, saving roughly KSh 10,000 to KSh 15,000 on switching hardware alone. Spread across a typical four-year service life, that works out near KSh 18 per day. Mascom International backs every unit with warranty and local support.

Yes, the NVR4216-16P-4KS3 connects to the free DMSS mobile app through Dahua's P2P service, so you watch live cameras and play footage back from any phone on mobile data or Wi-Fi. Setup needs only the QR code on the recorder, with no fixed IP address required. A shop owner in Nairobi can check tills from Mombasa, while an estate manager reviews gate footage from home. The single Gigabit Ethernet port keeps remote streaming steady on Safaricom or Airtel connections.
