Description
Hikvision DS-7608NI-M2/8P — 8-Channel PoE NVR with Dual Bays and 8K HDMI Output
The DS-7608NI-M2/8P is the M Series recorder we fit to most eight-camera systems. All eight IP channels accept resolutions up to 32 MP, every camera powers directly from one of the eight built-in PoE ports, and two SATA bays take up to 16 TB each for 32 TB of total storage. It is AcuSense ready, adding human and vehicle classification, perimeter protection and facial detection when paired with compatible cameras. A 128 Mbps incoming pipe handles eight high-resolution streams with room to spare, and the recorder is available bare or configured with a surveillance-rated hard drive fitted — pick the storage option that suits at checkout.
Recording & AI Capability
- Eight channels, eight PoE ports — Every camera gets power and video down a single Cat6 run from the recorder — no switch, no injectors, one box to install and manage.
- Two bays, 32 TB maximum — Dual SATA bays at up to 16 TB per drive mean genuinely long retention on a full eight-camera system, with drive options selectable when ordering.
- AcuSense smart detection — With compatible cameras it classifies people and vehicles, protects perimeters and detects faces, cutting the false alarms that plague motion-only recorders.
- 8K HDMI and independent VGA — Main monitor output runs to 7680 × 4320 @ 30 Hz or 4K @ 60 Hz, with a separate 1080p VGA feed for a second display.
- 120 W PoE budget — IEEE 802.3 af/at ports with up to 30 W available per port comfortably power a full set of cameras, including hungrier dual-light and varifocal models.
- Strong decoding for live view — Handles 2 × 32 MP plus 2 × 8 MP simultaneously, or up to 40 channels at 1080p — smooth multi-screen layouts without dropped frames.
Where It Fits
The default choice for homes and small businesses running five to eight cameras with room for serious retention. Need AI search and ANPR on top? Step up to the DS-7608NXI-I2/8P/VPro.
