Product Description
Hikvision DS-7608NXI-K1/8P is an 8-channel PoE NVR built for straightforward IP camera deployments where AcuSense analytics and 4K monitoring matter more than channel count.
Key specs
- 8× PoE ports on the 1U chassis — no separate switch or injectors needed for camera power.
- 80 Mbps incoming bandwidth, decoding up to 1-ch @ 12 MP, 2-ch @ 8 MP, 4-ch @ 4 MP, or 8-ch @ 1080p (AI off); figures drop slightly with AI enabled (1-ch@12 MP, 1-ch@8 MP, 3-ch@4 MP, or 6-ch@1080p).
- H.265+/H.265/H.264+/H.264 compression support.
- 4K HDMI output (3840×2160 @ 30 Hz) plus VGA, with simultaneous or independent output modes.
- AcuSense human/vehicle detection at device level, reducing false-trigger alarms without per-camera analytics licensing.
- Motion Detection 2.0 and perimeter protection, 4 MP by device (up to 8 MP with enhanced SVC mode).
- Facial detection and comparison — 1-ch @ 8 MP detection, 4-ch comparison, up to 16 face libraries and 20,000 pictures total.
- 8-channel synchronous playback for fast incident review.
- ONVIF (profile S/G), SDK and ISAPI support for third-party VMS integration.
- 128 remote connections for multi-site or client monitoring setups.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many PoE ports does the DS-7608NXI-K1/8P have?
It has 8 built-in PoE ports, one per channel, so IP cameras can be powered directly from the NVR without a separate injector or switch.
What is the maximum recording resolution?
It supports up to 12 MP recording, with decoding capacity of 1-ch@12 MP, 2-ch@8 MP, 4-ch@4 MP or 8-ch@1080p when AI analytics are switched off.
Does it support third-party VMS integration?
Yes — it supports ONVIF (profile S/G), Hikvision SDK and ISAPI, so it can integrate with compatible third-party management software.
Does enabling AI detection reduce recording capacity?
Yes — with AI on, decoding drops to 1-ch@12 MP, 1-ch@8 MP, 3-ch@4 MP or 6-ch@1080p compared with AI-off figures.
