Hikvision DS-7608NXI-K1/8P 8-Channel 4K NVR with 8 PoE Ports

The Hikvision DS-7608NXI-K1/8P is an 8-channel, 1U network video recorder for medium-sized sites -- a full retail unit, restaurant, or multi-room office covered by up to 8 IP cameras. Its 8 built-in PoE ports power and connect compatible cameras directly over standard Ethernet cabling, avoiding the cost and complexity of a separate PoE switch. Built on Hikvision's AcuSense platform, it supports facial recognition alongside standard motion detection 2.0, perimeter protection, line crossing, and ANPR/VCA analytics, giving a meaningful step up in intelligent alerting over the entry-level 4-channel model. Decoding supports up to 1 channel at 12MP, 2 at 8MP, 4 at 4MP, or 8 at 1080p, with up to 80 Mbps incoming bandwidth across the system, and 4K output over HDMI plus VGA for local monitoring. Storage runs through a single internal SATA bay, and the compact 1U chassis keeps rack space requirements modest. A well-balanced choice for businesses that have outgrown a 4-channel system but don't yet need the channel count or dual-bay storage of a 16-channel unit.
