Hikvision DS-7732NI-M4/16P 32-Channel 8K Network Video Recorder with 16 Built-In PoE Ports
The Hikvision DS-7732NI-M4/16P is a professional 32-channel M-Series 8K Network Video Recorder (NVR) featuring 16 integrated PoE camera ports, ultra-high-resolution IP camera recording, advanced H.265+ video compression, dual HDMI outputs and four internal SATA interfaces for expandable surveillance storage.
Designed for professional commercial, industrial and large residential CCTV installations, this Hikvision M-Series NVR delivers high-capacity network video recording, flexible storage options and ultra-high-definition local surveillance monitoring.
The recorder supports up to 32 compatible IP security cameras and includes 16 built-in Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports, allowing compatible cameras to connect directly to the NVR without requiring a separate PoE switch for those connections.
Additional IP cameras can be connected through suitable external network infrastructure, subject to the recorder's total 32-channel capacity, network configuration and available recording bandwidth.
The integrated PoE interfaces support IEEE 802.3af/at devices, providing a combined 200W PoE power budget for compatible connected cameras.
With up to 320 Mbps incoming bandwidth and 400 Mbps outgoing bandwidth, the DS-7732NI-M4/16P provides high-capacity network recording and video transmission for professionally configured multi-camera CCTV systems.
The recorder supports compatible IP camera inputs up to 32MP resolution. Up to eight 24MP or 32MP camera inputs are supported under the manufacturer's specified high-resolution configuration, subject to firmware, bandwidth and system limitations.
Its advanced decoding capabilities support up to 32 simultaneous 1080p video streams at 30fps under the manufacturer's published decoding configuration, providing flexible high-resolution monitoring options.
The DS-7732NI-M4/16P features 8K HDMI video output at up to 7680 × 4320 at 30Hz, enabling ultra-high-definition local monitoring through compatible displays.
Both HDMI interfaces support 4K video output at up to 60Hz under supported display configurations. When HDMI 1 operates at 8K resolution, the maximum HDMI 2 output resolution is 1080p.
Additional VGA and CVBS outputs provide flexible display connectivity for professional surveillance monitoring environments.
Advanced H.265+, H.265, H.264+ and H.264 video compression helps optimise recording storage and network bandwidth when supported by connected IP cameras.
The recorder provides four internal SATA interfaces, supporting compatible surveillance hard drives with manufacturer-specified capacities up to 16TB per drive. This allows a maximum supported internal storage capacity of 64TB using four compatible 16TB hard drives.
An additional eSATA interface provides supported external storage connectivity.
Important: This product is supplied without a surveillance hard drive. A compatible HDD must be purchased and installed separately for local video recording.
The DS-7732NI-M4/16P supports 16-channel synchronous playback, allowing authorised users to review multiple recorded camera streams simultaneously.
Additional professional features include compatible camera-based intelligent analytics, video content analysis (VCA), motion detection, line-crossing detection, intrusion detection, ANPR, people counting, heat maps and point-of-sale (POS) integration.
The recorder also supports Hik-Connect remote monitoring, compatible ONVIF IP cameras, network security functions, 16 alarm inputs, nine alarm outputs and USB video backup.
With 32 IP camera channels, 16 built-in PoE ports, 200W PoE power, 320 Mbps incoming bandwidth, 8K HDMI output, four SATA interfaces and a professional 1.5U chassis, the Hikvision DS-7732NI-M4/16P provides a high-performance recording solution for demanding IP CCTV installations.
