Product Description
The DS-7608NI-M2/8P is Hikvision's 8-channel 1U NVR with 8 built-in PoE ports, giving installers a plug-and-power solution for IP camera runs without a separate PoE switch.
Key specs
- Video formats: H.265+/H.265/H.264+/H.264
- Camera inputs: up to 8 IP channels, resolutions up to 32 MP per camera
- Decoding: up to 8-ch @ 8 MP simultaneous decode
- Bandwidth: 128 Mbps incoming / 256 Mbps outgoing
- Video outputs: independent HDMI (up to 8K) and VGA, for separate monitoring configurations
- Storage: 2x SATA interfaces, up to 16 TB per drive, plus NAS and iSCSI support for network storage expansion
- Network: Gigabit LAN, USB for backup, alarm I/O
- Audio: up to 8-ch IP speaker connectivity
- Integration: ONVIF-compatible, Hik-Connect remote access
The 128 Mbps incoming bandwidth ceiling is the figure to check against camera bitrate totals when scoping a multi-camera install — plan headroom accordingly, especially with 32 MP-capable channels running high bitrate H.265+ streams.
Dual SATA bays support up to 16 TB drives each, and NAS/iSCSI options mean storage isn't limited to on-board disks — useful for sites needing extended retention beyond local capacity.
HDMI output tops out at 8K, independent of the VGA feed, so a single unit can drive a high-resolution monitoring wall while VGA serves a secondary local display.
