Choosing a Hikvision NVR

[Topserver]

Good afternoon.
I need a bit of help choosing a Hikvision NVR for my new CCTV system.
The new system will have

• 2 x DS-2CD1347G3H-LIU(F)(/SX)
• 6 x DS-2CD1043G2-LIUF/SL

I am not sure which NVR to choose, I am aiming for a 16 channel one to allow for future additional cameras, 1/2 HDD slots. I am not looking for something too fancy, but I don't want to cheap out and have superior performance. I do not really understand the difference between the K and I series NVR and what or if I will get any benefit out of the I over the K, given the significant price difference

From what I can see, I have the following options. I know they are at quite different price points but I wanted to better understand what benefit I will get given the cameras I will connect to them.

• DS-7616NXI-I2/S​
• DS-7616NXI-K1(D) (not really sure what the difference between the D and non D variant is)​
• DS-7616NXI-K2(D)​

• DS-7616NXI-K1/VPro​
• DS-7616NXI-K2/VPro​
• DS-7616NXI-I2/VPro​

Any help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Check the specifications - it's all about breadth of the video analytics capabilities.

DS-7616NXI-K1(D) (not really sure what the difference between the D and non D variant is)

I believe it's internal hardware differences, due to supply-chain constraints. But achieving the same spec.
