{"product_id":"hilook-8-channel-essd-dvr-512gb","title":"HiLook 8 Channel DVR with Built-in 512GB eSSD Storage","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe HiLook DVR-E08G-B is the HiLook 8 channel eSSD DVR, with 512GB of storage built in at the factory and 480GB of it usable for recordings. You do not buy or fit a hard drive, and there is no hard drive bay, so the storage is fixed: it cannot be added to or swapped. It records eight HD coax cameras plus two IP cameras of up to 5MP in 1080p Lite at 15 frames a second, uses H.265 Pro compression, carries sound over the coax on all eight channels and draws 6.2W or less. Alectra supplies the recorder only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x HiLook DVR-E08G-B 8 channel DVR with built-in 512GB eSSD (480GB usable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x 12V DC power adapter for the DVR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eCameras, cable, the camera power supply and the screen are bought separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBuilt-in eSSD or a hard drive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake this one if you want an eight camera system recording without buying a drive, and 480GB is enough for how far back you need to look. If you want to choose the drive yourself and be able to upgrade it, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/hilook-8-channel-turbo-hd-dvr\"\u003eHiLook 8 channel Turbo HD DVR\u003c\/a\u003e takes one SATA hard drive of up to 4TB, not included.

This 512GB recorder is also the one in the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/8-channel-advanced-cctv-camera-kit\"\u003eHiLook 8 channel CCTV kit\u003c\/a\u003e, together with eight 2MP bullet cameras, a Hikvision power supply, 100m of RG59 cable and the connectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecording and storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe recorder saves every channel in 1080p Lite, HiLook's reduced 1080p mode, at 15 frames a second, and H.265 Pro compression keeps the files small. HiLook's datasheet estimates about 2 weeks of recording with eight cameras at the default settings, as a guide only: the real figure depends on how many cameras are connected and how much movement each one sees. Recording on motion only, instead of all the time, makes the storage last longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCameras, sound and smart detection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe eight coax inputs take HD TVI, AHD and CVI cameras at 1080p or 720p, plus analogue (CVBS), so you can mix the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/hilook-2mp-bullet-camera\"\u003eHiLook 2MP bullet\u003c\/a\u003e, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/hilook-2mp-full-colour-vu-bullet-camera\"\u003eColorVu bullet\u003c\/a\u003e, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/hilook-2mp-hybrid-dual-light-camera\"\u003edual light bullet with built-in mic\u003c\/a\u003e and the indoor \u003ca href=\"\/products\/hilook-2mp-dome-camera\"\u003eturret dome\u003c\/a\u003e on one recorder. Two IP cameras of up to 5MP connect over the network on top of the eight coax cameras. Sound from cameras with a mic comes down the coax on all eight channels and plays out through HDMI; audio recording is off by default, so switch it on in the recording settings. Motion Detection 2.0 sorts people and vehicles from other movement to cut false alarms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWiring, power and viewing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRun \u003ca href=\"\/products\/rg59-cctv-cable-with-power-pair-100-m\"\u003eRG59 cable with a power pair\u003c\/a\u003e to each camera, with \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bnc-connector-crimp-type-for-rg59-2x-in-a-pack\"\u003eBNC crimp connectors\u003c\/a\u003e on the video and a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/dc-male-connector-cable\"\u003eDC connector\u003c\/a\u003e on the power pair.
