Product Description
Overview
The Hikvision DS-7204HGHI-M1 is a 4-channel 1U Turbo HD DVR built for hybrid coax/IP deployments where an installer needs to mix legacy analogue runs with newer IP cameras on one recorder.
Key specs
- Video inputs: HDTVI / AHD / CVI / CVBS / IP — 4 analogue channels, expandable to 5 IP channels at up to 2 MP
- Compression: H.265 Pro+ / H.265 Pro / H.265
- Encoding: up to 1080p lite @ 30 fps
- Coax reach: max. 1200 m for a 720p HDTVI signal — relevant when specifying cable runs on larger sites
- Storage: single SATA bay, up to 4 TB
- Video output: HDMI and VGA, simultaneous
- Audio: RCA in/out, plus audio transmitted over coaxial cable
- Network: 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, Hik-Connect and standard network protocol support
- Analytics: Motion Detection 2.0 with deep-learning human/vehicle classification, reducing false triggers from foliage, weather or animals
Part numbers and stock variants
Also listed under DS-7204HGHI-M1-NO-HDD, DS-7204HGHI-M1+NO-HDD, DS-7204HGHI-K1 and DS-7204HGHI-K1+NO-HDD — these are the same base unit under alternate SKU/packaging codes, useful to know when cross-referencing quotes or supplier stock against a spec sheet.
Deployment notes
H.265 Pro+ compression keeps bitrate down on a single-drive system, which matters when the 4TB cap is the ceiling. The 1200 m HDTVI figure is quoted at 720p — confirm resolution-dependent reach before specifying cable length on longer pulls. 1U form factor suits cabinet or under-desk installs where rack space is limited.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many channels does the DS-7204HGHI-M1 support in total?
It handles 4 analogue channels (HDTVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS) and can expand to 5 IP channels at up to 2 MP, per the datasheet.
What is the maximum cable run for HDTVI signal?
Up to 1200 m for a 720p HDTVI signal, as stated in the source datasheet. This figure is resolution-dependent, so confirm reach at your intended resolution before specifying.
How much storage can the DVR take?
A single SATA hard drive up to 4 TB capacity.
Are DS-7204HGHI-K1 and the -NO-HDD variants the same product?
Yes — DS-7204HGHI-M1-NO-HDD, DS-7204HGHI-M1+NO-HDD, DS-7204HGHI-K1 and DS-7204HGHI-K1+NO-HDD are listed as alternate SKU/packaging codes for this same unit.
