Hikvision Network Video Recorder

Hikvision DS-7608NI-K2/8P 8-Channel PoE 4K NVR

Build a streamlined IP surveillance system with an NVR that connects, powers, and records up to eight cameras. The DS-7608NI-K2/8P provides eight integrated PoE ports for plug-and-play camera installation, independent HDMI and VGA outputs, and HDMI output at up to 4K resolution.

Two SATA interfaces support up to 10 TB per HDD, while H.265+ compression can reduce storage requirements by up to 75%. Support for compatible-camera analytics, secure TLS stream transmission, eight-channel synchronized playback, and Hik-Connect makes the recorder suitable for dependable home and business monitoring.
