HiLook IP Recorder NVR-4CH-5MP/4P by HiLook — 4-channel PoE NVR, supports 4MP IP cameras

HiLook IP Recorder NVR-4CH-5MP/4P is a compact 4-channel PoE network video recorder designed to manage and record streams from compatible IP cameras. The device supports up to 4MP resolution recording, provides four integrated Power-over-Ethernet ports for camera connectivity and power, and offers centralized local storage, playback and remote network access. It includes basic motion-triggered recording and playback functions suitable for small office, retail and home surveillance installations.

Advantages

The recorder integrates PoE ports to simplify camera installation by combining data and power over a single Ethernet cable. Support for 4MP video resolution ensures clearer detail than standard HD systems while keeping file sizes and bandwidth requirements moderate. Local recording with network remote access enables continuous surveillance with the option to review footage from a browser or mobile app. Motion-triggered recording reduces unnecessary storage use by capturing video only when activity is detected.

Suitable for

• Small office premises requiring local video storage and remote monitoring
• Retail stores that need evidence-grade footage at entrances and checkouts
• Residential properties seeking a simple IP camera recording solution
• Temporary or compact surveillance setups where integrated PoE reduces cabling

Key specifications

• Channels: 4 simultaneous camera inputs
• PoE ports: 4 integrated ports for power and network over Ethernet
• Maximum recording resolution: up to 4 megapixels per channel
• Recording modes: continuous, motion-triggered scheduling
• Remote access: network remote viewing and playback via browser or mobile client
• Storage: local hard drive bay (drive sold separately) for centralized footage retention

How to use

Connect up to four compatible IP cameras to the PoE ports using Ethernet cables; the recorder will supply power and network connectivity to each camera. Install a compatible hard drive in the recorder’s storage bay if local recording is required, then configure recording settings such as resolution, frame rate and motion detection sensitivity via the device’s web interface or mobile application. Set a network connection and user access preferences to enable remote live view and playback.

Usage recommendations

Place cameras to cover critical angles and configure motion detection zones to reduce false alarms. Use a hard drive intended for continuous video surveillance and set a retention policy to manage storage capacity. Regularly update recorder firmware and maintain secure network credentials for remote access.
