Hikvision DS-7608NI-M2/8P 8 Channel 8 PoE 8K NVR | 32MP Support & Up to 32TB Storage
The Hikvision DS-7608NI-M2/8P is a high-performance 8-channel Network Video Recorder (NVR) designed for advanced IP CCTV systems in homes, businesses, retail stores, warehouses and commercial properties. With 8 built-in PoE ports, support for IP cameras up to 32MP, high incoming bandwidth and 8K HDMI output, this M Series NVR provides a powerful platform for high-resolution surveillance systems.
Supporting up to 8 IP cameras, the DS-7608NI-M2/8P can handle up to 128 Mbps incoming bandwidth and up to 256 Mbps outgoing bandwidth. It supports advanced Hikvision IP cameras and third-party ONVIF-compatible cameras, providing flexibility when building or expanding a CCTV system.
The NVR delivers impressive decoding performance, supporting up to 2 channels at 32MP, 3 channels at 24MP, 4 channels at 16MP, 6 channels at 12MP or 8 channels at 8MP, all at up to 30fps. Its 8K HDMI output allows compatible displays to showcase high-resolution surveillance footage with exceptional clarity.
Two built-in SATA bays support up to 16TB per HDD, providing a maximum storage capacity of 32TB. This makes the recorder suitable for systems requiring extended recording retention, whether using continuous or motion-based recording.
With 8 integrated PoE ports, the NVR can supply power and network connectivity to compatible cameras through Ethernet cabling, simplifying installation and reducing the need for separate power supplies.
