The Hikvision DS-7608NXI-K2/8P/VPro is a powerful 8-channel 4K PoE network video recorder from the new Hikvision K/VPro series. The recorder combines eight built-in PoE ports with advanced features such as AcuSeek, AcuSearch, and AcuSense. This makes this model particularly well-suited for homes, retail stores, offices, hospitality venues, and small- to medium-sized business premises.
New VPro Recorder with AcuSeek
With Hikvision AcuSeek, recorded camera footage can be searched using an English text description. For example, you can search for a person wearing certain clothing or a vehicle with specific characteristics. This eliminates the need to manually review hours of camera footage.
When used with compatible Hikvision AcuSense cameras and a properly activated AcuSearch function, this recorder supports AcuSeek on all eight channels. The system can process up to 50,000 targets per day.
Locating People and Vehicles with AcuSearch
AcuSearch allows you to select a person or vehicle in a recording. The recorder then automatically searches for similar events within the available footage. This speeds up forensic investigations and makes it significantly easier to locate important events.
AcuSense Reduces False Alarms
The built-in AcuSense technology can distinguish people and vehicles from less relevant movements, such as animals, leaves, rain, or changing lighting conditions. This reduces the number of false alarms, allowing you to focus on events that are truly important.
The recorder supports features including Motion Detection 2.0, intelligent perimeter security, facial recognition, facial comparison, and facial image search. With compatible cameras, features such as ANPR license plate recognition and additional video analytics are also available.
Eight built-in PoE ports
The DS-7608NXI-K2/8P/VPro features eight independent PoE ports. These provide compatible IP cameras with both power and data via a single network cable. The recorder automatically detects and configures connected Hikvision cameras, ensuring a quick and straightforward installation.
The PoE ports support the IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at standards and have a combined maximum PoE power of 80 watts.
Recordings up to 12 megapixels
The recorder supports recording resolutions up to 12 megapixels. This allows the DS-7608NXI-K2/8P/VPro to be combined with high-quality 4MP, 6MP, 8MP, and 12MP cameras. The maximum incoming bandwidth is 80 Mbps, and the outgoing bandwidth is up to 160 Mbps.
Via the HDMI output, images up to 4K Ultra HD can be displayed on a compatible monitor or television. The HDMI and VGA outputs can be used independently of each other.
Space for two hard drives
The Hikvision DS-7608NXI-K2/8P/VPro features two SATA ports. Each port can accommodate a hard drive with a capacity of up to 16 TB. This gives the recorder a maximum internal storage capacity of 32 TB.
The actual retention period depends on the number of cameras, resolution, bitrate, frame rate, compression, and selected recording settings.
Efficient H.265+ Video Compression
Thanks to support for H.265+, camera footage is stored efficiently and uses less network bandwidth. The recorder supports the video formats H.265+, H.265, H.264+, and H.264.
Viewing Footage with Hik-Connect
With the Hik-Connect app, you can remotely view live and recorded footage via a smartphone or tablet. Depending on your selected settings, you’ll also receive notifications when a person, vehicle, or other configured event is detected.
