Description
Hikvision DS-9632NI-M8 — 32-Channel 2U NVR with Eight Bays, 128 TB and Hot-Spare RAID
The DS-9632NI-M8 is the Ultra Series answer to sites where retention and uptime are non-negotiable. Eight SATA bays accept drives up to 16 TB each for 128 TB of onboard storage, protected by RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10 with N+M hot spare — a standby drive takes over automatically when one fails. All 32 IP channels accept cameras up to 32 MP, fed through dual gigabit network interfaces from your PoE switches (this is a non-PoE chassis, as rack builds usually prefer). Dual HDMI outputs run independent sources — 8K on the main, 4K on the second — with two matching VGA feeds.
Recording & AI Capability
- Eight bays, 128 TB — Twice the storage of four-bay units — months of 32-camera retention — with an eSATA port on top for external storage expansion.
- RAID with N+M hot spare — Beyond RAID 0/1/5/6/10, hot-spare drives step in automatically on failure, so recording continues while you swap hardware at your convenience.
- True dual-monitor operation — HDMI 1 drives up to 8K @ 30 Hz and HDMI 2 an independent 4K @ 60 Hz source, each paired with its own VGA — live wall on one screen, playback on the other.
- Smart functions with compatible cameras — AcuSense classification, ANPR, people counting, fisheye dewarping and perimeter protection all supported across the system.
- Rack-ready 2U build — 19-inch rack ears included, dual gigabit NICs for separate or redundant networks, and a non-PoE chassis that pairs cleanly with managed PoE switches.
- Strong decoding for review — Handles 2 × 32 MP, 8 × 8 MP or 32 × 1080p simultaneously, with 16-channel synchronous playback for side-by-side incident review.
Where It Fits
Built for server rooms — clubs, schools, industrial sites and body corporates that need months of history and no recording gaps. If you want redundant power as well, ask about the dual-PSU DS-9632NI-M8/R; for a desktop-friendly 32-channel unit, see the DS-7732NI-M4 range.
