TP-Link VIGI NVR1016H VIGI 16 Channel Network Video Recorder | H.265+ | 24/7 Continuous Recording | Real-Time Live View | Remote Monitoring | ONVIF | Two-Way Audio CCTV

I used with tapo cameras which had 15 fps limit so the system was a failure for me.However the device supports 30fps with regular cameras.But big issue was the network cameras were not remaining constant even after assigning dedicated ips.Settings are not easy, they are cumbersome. The associated app is useless.It can work as a basic nvr, but dont expect smooth settings. I was not able to get the cameras listed properly. Had to refresh, add/remove many times. Perhaps it works better with wired cameras. Not recommended unless you want something basic and you are familiar with doing the settings and troubleshoot on your own.

Not power on. Contacted customer care for solution. They promised for replacement but nothing happened till now.

Product is of cheap quality and performance is sub par compared to other cheaper NVRs from not so popular brands out there.It lacks many features and functions I was hoping and now regret buying in frenzy as return window is closed and this worthless pea e of junk is going to clutter my network box for quite sometime.. I can't able to view more than 6 channels from web panel on LAN. There are 4 imou cameras which not all it works with this NVR no matter how many times I have tried resetting, settings password, etc. It just shows most annoying "Not Certified" status, interestingly some other imou camera models of same range working on this NVR. I don't see any useful features in this NVR at the pricing point. So I don't recommend it to anyone.. unless you have money to waste..

When motion detection recording is turned on, it records 'after' few seconds(5-10sec delay) when motion is detected instead of immediately or recording few seconds 'before' motion detection which leads to partly lost video footage. I tried changing “delay” and “pre recorded time” settings but still there is same issue.

Very poor,I connected 5 hikvision bullet camera and 3 dome camera but no video. when I called the technical support they cut the phone.

I am writing with the March VIGI NVR1016H(UN)_V1.20_1.0.4 Build 240119 firmware update which may address issues mentioned by other reviewers.The first thing after installing the hard drive, turning on and following the setup wizard is to do a firmware update - the mobile app will not connect until you do.The app picked up the NVR and I prefer it the the Hilook I used before. The only niggle with the app is I can't see how to have a live preview of, say 4, cameras at once. I have Starlink and the app was able to work remotely fine.I have used, and still got, two NVRs, a XVision and Hilook. They are ok but each have different issues. For the most part the TPLink overcomes them. There is no cooling fan, so considerably quieter, with only the whirring and clicks of the hard disk. The case remains almost cold. Not had many issues finding my way around the menus, but then I've had two previous NVRs. One thing caught me out, the video length. I could not easily find how to change how long to record for once motion was detected. On the menus it is called "Delay"!The cameras I have are three different brands but Onvif found them and connected fine. I've not seen it struggle serving my six cameras images but then they are not 4M cameras.You can change most setting via a browser, but not all. I noticed the motion sensitivity is not on the browser page but you can change it on the NVR itself.So why three stars? Well I found that when setting the detection area for motion detection, on some cameras it was not saving. I thought it was because I was using the browser (I find using the browser access easier). I tried on the NVR itself and initially it appeared to work. I would save the layout, move away and back again and the changes were there (on the browser they would "reset" randomly), but I found that when I rebooted, the three troublesome cameras layout s had reset. I have raised a ticket with TP-Link and update if/when I hear back - I hope there is a fix as I would like to keep this device.UPDATE: Seems two very old XVision IP cameras are not happy. I suspect the ONVIF version is too old or faulty. Both were going to be replaced as they were sluggish and had a red tint (IR filter stuck down?). Using two Annke C500's and all is well. The motion detection layouts now save and stay saved :-)So 4 stars - 1 star lost due to weird wording for recording times, a delay between logging in and seeing the first screen, and a delay when adding each camera to live (not critical for me as I use the app which I like)

5年前に導入した中華製防犯カメラの故障が目立ってきたので購入他の中華製NVRに比較して安定しているようです。同じメーカーでのカメラの選択肢は限られるがコスパ、性能、安定性を考えると良い製品だと思う。

2023/5/05　TP−Link VIGI16を購入した以前TP−Linkの防犯カメラを３台購入し運用していた　監視カメラは18台ほどありモニターを複数台使用し邪魔になりこのNVRを導入するHDDは別売　HDDをセットしないと基盤からピーピーと連続音が発生し眠れない動体検知はカメラ同様精度が悪すぎで信頼できない　4k.2k×2台.FHD✕3台リソースが足りず半分がダウンするTP−Linkの２kカメラ３台とも画質はアトムカムに及ばない、雨が降ると動体検知はつきっぱなしだ腹がたつのはTP−Linkカメラを紐付けてもライン検知や細かい設定ができない　カメラをタブレットで設定したら細かくタブレットでは使えてTP−LinkVIGIレコーダーでは全く設定が出来ず。TP−Link2K防犯カメラが昼間にライトが点きっぱなしになり修理依頼をメールで問い合わすが、環境設備など細かく書き込まないとだめで、本当に面倒くさく修理を拒むのが見え見えでした結局面倒なのでホワイトライトが点かない設定にしていたら治った　あとで再発したが諦めたHDDを別途購入し高くついた、防犯カメラもVIGIもクソやな　もう二度とこんなイカサマメーカー買わないそういえばWiFiルーターも良くなかったBUFFALOに負けてる　なんで人気があるのか本当に不思議　TP−Link製品多分7台あるが６台までが外れです　故障修理依頼面倒ですよ　少しも安くなくいいとこ無し　VIGIレコーダー全録画が知らないうちに動体検知のみの録画になっていて焦ります　他の方の書き込み見て下さい　警報ブザーにoff設定が無いのはいやがらせです　TP−Link後悔しています。

ONVIF対応との事でTAPO C100、C200、C310を合計10台接続してみましたが最初は動いていても気が付くと何も操作を受け付けない状態になります。どうしようもないので電源オフオンをするしかありませんが原因は不明。16台接続可能なNVR1016Hではありますが処理能力に難があるのかもしれません。また、新品だと思うのですが、筐体に打痕があったりACアダプタ等の袋がくしゃくしゃだったりしているのが謎です。その後、設定を初期化したり見直してみたりHDDからSSDに変更してみたり試してみましたが、どうにも解決に至りませんでしたので、返品する事に致しました。ONVIF準拠を謳っているからにはせめて自社製品は問題なく動作させて欲しいです。

起動後暫くすると設定などのマウス操作が遅くなると言うかクリックからの反応が5分ぐらいかかり再起動もままならない録画もされていない見るだけに使うなら可？と設置後暫くそんな感じでしたが何故かレビューを書いてからサクサク動くようになりました。録画もされてるようですtapoシリーズのカメラにて使用してますが良い感じです。tapoのカメラが再起動するとipアドレスが変わるらしくその都度再設定しなきゃならないのが面倒ですが(固定出来ないのか？)悪評改高評価です。
