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

The Hikvision DS-7608NXI-K2/8P is an 8-channel, 1U network video recorder designed for IP surveillance systems that need intelligent event filtering, high-resolution recording, integrated PoE, and flexible storage. Eight built-in PoE interfaces make compatible IP camera installation simpler by carrying network data and power through the NVR, while Hikvision AcuSense technology provides human and vehicle recognition to help reduce false alarms.

With recording support up to 12 MP, HDMI output up to 4K, two SATA interfaces, H.265+ compression, Motion Detection 2.0, perimeter protection, facial recognition, and Hik-Connect network management, the DS-7608NXI-K2/8P provides a capable foundation for residential and commercial surveillance systems with up to eight IP camera channels.
