The TVT TD-3116H2-B2-B is a 16 channel network video recorder built for high-definition IP surveillance systems. It supports up to 16 IP cameras with recording resolutions up to 8MP, making it suitable for sites requiring sharp image quality, strong storage capacity and easy remote access.
This model features 2 x SATA hard drive bays, with support for up to 10TB per HDD, giving installers the flexibility to configure storage based on the number of cameras, recording resolution and retention requirements. It is ideal for customers who need longer recording periods or higher-resolution footage compared with single-drive NVR models.
The NVR supports modern video compression formats including H.265S, H.265+, H.265 and H.264. This helps reduce storage use and bandwidth demand while maintaining good image quality, especially when used with compatible TVT IP cameras.
For display, the TD-3116H2-B2-B includes HDMI output up to 4K resolution and VGA output up to 1080P. This allows clear local viewing on compatible monitors and TVs. The system also supports 16 channel simultaneous playback, making it easier to review multiple cameras at once.
When paired with compatible AI-enabled TVT cameras, the NVR can support advanced functions such as human and vehicle classification, face detection, video metadata, plate recognition by IPC, region intrusion, tripwire detection and other VCA events. This makes it a strong option for sites that need more useful event searching and fewer false alarms than basic motion detection systems.
Remote viewing is supported via web browser, CMS software and mobile devices, with QR code/NAT support for simplified app setup on iOS and Android.

Installer Notes
- This NVR has 1 x Gigabit LAN port and does not appear to include built-in PoE ports, so IP cameras will normally require an external PoE switch or separate PoE injectors.
- For best compatibility, use with TVT IP cameras.
- ONVIF support allows compatible third-party IP cameras to be added, although advanced features may vary by camera brand and model.
- AI functions such as human/vehicle classification and plate recognition generally require compatible AI-enabled cameras.
- Hard drives should be surveillance-grade drives, not standard desktop drives.
- Storage duration depends on camera quantity, resolution, frame rate, compression, motion settings and HDD size.
FAQs
