Product Description
A 4-channel 1U Turbo HD DVR with AcuSense analytics for hybrid analogue/IP jobs. The iDS-7204HQHI-M1/XT accepts HDTVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS signals adaptively across its 4 channels, with no manual signal-type configuration required, and can also connect up to 6-ch network cameras.
Key specs
- Channels: 4-ch analogue (HDTVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS, auto-adaptive) plus support for up to 6-ch network cameras
- Compression: H.265 Pro+ for reduced bitrate and storage overhead
- Recording resolution: up to 3K/5MP Lite @ 12fps
- Storage: 1x SATA interface, up to 10TB
- Video output: HDMI and VGA, simultaneous, up to 1920×1080
- Audio: two-way audio on all channels via RCA/coaxial, when paired with compatible cameras
AcuSense and detection
AcuSense applies deep-learning classification to separate human/vehicle events from environmental noise — foliage, shadows, small animals — cutting nuisance alerts on motion-triggered recording. One channel can run facial recognition, or two channels can be reallocated to advanced perimeter protection instead. AcuSearch is supported on 2 channels for faster event review. Motion detection is available across all four channels.
Compatibility note
Also listed under part numbers IDS-7204HQHI-K1/2S, IDS-7204HQHI-M1/S and their NO-HDD variants — same hardware platform, useful when cross-referencing older quotes or stock listings against this SKU.
Suited to installs mixing legacy analogue cameras with a handful of IP additions on one recorder, where AcuSense filtering and H.265 Pro+ storage efficiency matter more than raw channel count.
