Hikvision DS-9664NI-M8 — 64-Channel 2U 8K NVR with Eight Bays and 128 TB

The DS-9664NI-M8 packs 64 IP channels into a 2U chassis under 90 mm high, which makes it the practical choice when rack space is tight but camera count is not. All 64 channels accept up to 32 MP within 400 Mbps of incoming and outgoing bandwidth, and eight SATA bays hold drives up to 16 TB each for 128 TB, protected by RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10. Decoding is generous for the class — two 32 MP streams at 30 fps alongside two more at 8 MP, or 40 channels at 1080p — and dual HDMI plus dual VGA outputs drive independent screens.

Recording & AI Capability

• 64 channels in 2U — A full 64-camera system in a chassis 90 mm high and under 8 kg without drives, leaving rack space for switches and UPS.
• 128 TB across eight bays — Eight SATA drives at up to 16 TB apiece, with an eSATA port for external expansion when the archive needs to stretch further.
• RAID protection — RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10 keep the array intact through a drive failure instead of losing footage from a third of the cameras.
• Strong decoding for a 2U box — 2 channels at 32 MP plus 2 at 8 MP simultaneously, or 10 at 8 MP, 20 at 4 MP, 40 at 1080p — with 16-channel synchronous playback.
• Two independent displays — HDMI 1 up to 8K at 30 Hz, HDMI 2 at 4K 60 Hz from a separate source, plus two 1080p VGA outputs for a second operator position.
• AcuSense classification — Human and vehicle separation, perimeter protection and facial detection with compatible cameras, so alarms mean something at 64-camera scale.

Where It Fits

Our pick where a large site needs 64 channels but the comms cupboard is already full — warehouses, retail centres, clubs and school campuses. If retention is the priority rather than rack space, the sixteen-bay DS-9664NI-M16 doubles the storage in 3U.
