Users can add up to four 8MP IP cameras to the NVR via the 4 ports located at the back of the device. x 8MP and 6 x 4MP cameras should work fine on a 7616NXI-K2 NVR, accessing with the browser and/or Hik-connect is limited by the NVRs outgoing bandwidth and the K-series AcuSense does have a slightly lower outgoing bandwidth limit than the I-series AcuSense or M-series NVRs.
