Hikvision DS-7604NI-M1/4P 4-Channel 4K Network Video Recorder with 4 Built-In PoE Ports
The Hikvision DS-7604NI-M1/4P is a professional 4-channel M-Series Network Video Recorder (NVR) featuring 4 integrated PoE camera ports, high-resolution IP camera recording, advanced H.265+ video compression and ultra-high-definition HDMI display output.
Designed for professional security installations, small businesses, retail premises, offices and residential CCTV systems, this Hikvision NVR provides reliable network video recording, flexible surveillance storage and convenient remote monitoring.
The recorder supports up to 4 compatible IP security cameras and includes 4 built-in Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports, allowing compatible cameras to connect directly to the recorder using network cables.
Its integrated PoE interfaces support IEEE 802.3af/at devices and provide a combined 60W PoE power budget for compatible connected cameras.
With 40 Mbps incoming bandwidth and 80 Mbps outgoing bandwidth, the DS-7604NI-M1/4P provides the recording and network transmission capacity required for a professionally configured four-camera IP surveillance system.
The recorder supports compatible IP camera recording resolutions up to 32MP, subject to the manufacturer's bandwidth, decoding and camera compatibility requirements.
For local surveillance monitoring, the DS-7604NI-M1/4P supports 8K HDMI video output at up to 7680 × 4320 at 30Hz, together with 4K, 2K and Full HD display resolutions.
The independent HDMI and VGA outputs provide flexible local display configurations, making the recorder suitable for professional CCTV monitoring environments.
Advanced H.265+, H.265, H.264+ and H.264 video compression helps optimise surveillance storage requirements and network bandwidth when supported by connected cameras.
The recorder features one internal SATA interface, supporting a compatible surveillance hard drive with a manufacturer-specified capacity of up to 16TB.
Important: This listing is for the network video recorder without a hard drive. A compatible surveillance HDD must be purchased and installed separately for local recording.
The DS-7604NI-M1/4P supports 4-channel synchronous playback, allowing authorised users to review recordings from all four connected camera channels.
Additional professional features include compatible camera-based intelligent analytics, motion detection, intrusion detection, line-crossing detection, ANPR, people counting, heat maps and point-of-sale integration.
These intelligent functions depend on the capabilities of connected cameras, supported firmware and system configuration. The DS-7604NI-M1/4P is an M-Series recorder and does not provide the dedicated AcuSeek natural-language search functionality of Hikvision VPro models.
The recorder also supports Hik-Connect remote monitoring, compatible third-party IP camera integration, network security functions, external alarm connectivity and USB video backup.
Combining 4 IP camera channels, 4 built-in PoE ports, 60W PoE power, 40 Mbps incoming bandwidth, 8K HDMI output and up to 16TB surveillance storage support, the Hikvision DS-7604NI-M1/4P provides a dependable recording solution for professional four-camera IP CCTV installations.
