A DVR (digital video recorder) records the video from analogue HD CCTV cameras connected by coaxial cable. This collection lists Hikvision Turbo HD recorders in 4, 8, 16 and 32 channels, in plastic and metal bodies, for homes, shops, offices and warehouses. Turbo HD is Hikvision's analogue HD range built on the HD-TVI standard.
DVR, NVR or hybrid?
| Recorder | Works with | Cabling |
|---|---|---|
| DVR | Analogue HD cameras (HD-TVI and similar formats) | Coaxial cable for video; each camera needs its own power |
| NVR | IP network cameras | Ethernet, often with PoE so one cable carries power and data |
| Hybrid recorder | Analogue and IP cameras together | BNC inputs plus network; usually no built-in PoE |
Modern analogue HD formats can reach 1080p and beyond, and an existing coax installation can often be reused, which makes a DVR a cheaper upgrade path than recabling for IP. IP systems lead at the highest resolutions.
What to look for in a DVR
- Channels: one per camera. Choose a few more than you need so you can add cameras later.
- Recording resolution: match cameras and recorder. Retailer listings for the 4-channel DS-7104HGHI-M1 describe it as a 1080p-class recorder.
- Hard drive: a DVR needs a disk. The 4-channel model above is listed with one SATA slot and up to 4TB, so check the maximum for yours, then see surveillance hard drives.
- Body: metal bodies suit rack or cabinet installs; plastic bodies suit compact systems.
- Remote viewing: connect the recorder to the internet to watch on a phone.
- Power: cameras need their own supply; see CCTV power supplies.
Where DVRs are used in Kenya
Shops, supermarkets, schools, estates and workshops often already have coaxial cable from an older system. A Turbo HD DVR lets them move to HD pictures without pulling new cable, which keeps installation cost and disruption low.

That depends on disk size, camera count, resolution and compression.
Can I add cameras later?
