Before installation
Check the component list below for included cables, power supplies and mounting accessories. Choose cable lengths and camera positions for your layout; camera count alone does not establish coverage. Confirm lens field of view, lighting and weather protection for each position.

Product Description
The Hikvision IDS-7204HQHI is a 4-channel 1U DVR built for HD analogue installs where four camera positions cover the job.
Key specs
- 4 channels — connects up to four HD analogue cameras
- 5MP recording resolution — supports higher-detail footage than 1080p-only recorders
- H.265 compression — reduces storage use versus H.264, extending retention on the same drive capacity
- AcuSense — Hikvision detection technology that distinguishes people and vehicles from other motion to cut false alerts
- 1U form factor — standard slim rack or desktop chassis size
The channel count and 1U chassis make this a fit for smaller analogue jobs — a handful of camera positions rather than a full multi-zone site. H.265 on board means installers can plan storage against longer retention windows without stepping up drive capacity, and AcuSense filtering is worth flagging to clients who've had false-alert fatigue on older 4-channel units.
SKU on this listing: 1xiDS-7204HQHI-M1/XT. No stated PoE budget, channel-to-port mapping beyond the four analogue inputs, or cross-generation part compatibility is given for this unit — confirm those details against the physical unit or Hikvision's own datasheet before quoting a spec to a client.
