FAQs – HiLook NVR‑108MH‑K/8P
Q1: Does the NVR‑108MH‑K/8P support 8 PoE cameras at full bandwidth?
A1: Yes, the model includes 8 built‑in PoE ports to connect 8 PoE‑capable IP cameras directly.
Q2: What is the maximum HDD capacity supported by this unit?
A2: It has one SATA bay. Depending on variant, HDDs up to approximately 10‑16 TB are supported.
Q3: Can I use HDMI and VGA outputs at the same time?
A3: Yes, the device supports both HDMI and VGA outputs. In many variants they can be used simultaneously or independently.
Q4: Is facial recognition or perimeter protection enabled for all channels?
A4: The analytics are flexible: facial recognition/perimeter protection is available, but “AI by Device” vs “AI by Camera” modes may limit how many channels can run full analytics simultaneously.
Q5: What is the typical power draw of this NVR?
A5: The power consumption is up to ~75 W when PoE ports are loaded; when PoE is off (no cameras drawing power) the consumption is much lower.
