Hikvision DS-7732NI-K4 32-Channel 4K Network Video Recorder

The Hikvision DS-7732NI-K4 is a professional 32-channel network video recorder designed for larger IP surveillance systems that need high camera capacity, flexible storage, and high-resolution video output. With support for up to 32 IP cameras, 256 Mbps incoming bandwidth, four SATA hard drive interfaces, and recording resolutions up to 12 MP, it gives users room to build and manage demanding multi-camera security installations.

H.265+ compression can reduce storage requirements by up to 75%, helping extend available recording time while making more efficient use of installed hard drive capacity. Independent HDMI and VGA outputs, HDMI output up to 4K, 16-channel synchronous playback, VCA event support, and Hik-Connect network management make the DS-7732NI-K4 well suited for professional surveillance environments where centralized monitoring and dependable recording are important.
