Description
Hikvision DS-9632NI-M16 — 32-Channel 3U 8K NVR with Sixteen Bays and 256 TB
The DS-9632NI-M16 keeps the M Series 32-channel platform but moves it into a 3U chassis with sixteen drive bays — 256 TB of onboard storage at up to 16 TB per drive, arranged as RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 or 10 with N+M hot spare. Every channel accepts cameras up to 32 MP inside a 320 Mbps intake, and 400 Mbps of outgoing bandwidth keeps remote viewing and export responsive. This is a non-PoE chassis, as rack builds generally prefer, with two gigabit interfaces so camera and office networks can stay apart.
Recording & AI Capability
- Sixteen bays, 256 TB — Double the capacity of an eight-bay recorder, with an eSATA port on the back for archive expansion when the retention policy outgrows the box.
- RAID with N+M hot spare — RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10 plus standby drives that swap in automatically, so a failed disk costs you a service call rather than footage.
- Dual-monitor control — HDMI 1 drives up to 8K at 30 Hz and HDMI 2 an independent 4K at 60 Hz, each paired with its own 1080p VGA output for a live wall plus playback.
- Decoding for real review work — Handles 2 channels at 32 MP, 8 at 8 MP or 32 at 1080p at once, with 16-channel synchronous playback for comparing angles side by side.
- Smart functions across the system — AcuSense human and vehicle classification, ANPR, people counting, fisheye dewarping and perimeter protection with compatible cameras.
- Rack-ready with integration ports — 3U housing with 19-inch mounting ears, two gigabit NICs, 16 alarm inputs and 4 outputs for gates, sirens and access control.
Where It Fits
For rack rooms where 32 cameras need months of history — schools, clubs, warehouses and multi-tenant buildings. Choose the DS-9632NI-M16/R if the site also calls for redundant power supplies, or the eight-bay DS-9632NI-M8 where 2U is all the space you have.
