• Villas and residential buildings
• Small and medium warehouses
• Commercial surveillance projects requiring longer recording storage
• Sites requiring 4K HDMI local display
• Systems requiring smart playback and human/vehicle analysis
• Projects using separate PoE switch or external camera power source
• Rack-mounted CCTV control rooms
Connect Gates Recommendation:
• Recommended for 8-channel Hikvision IP surveillance projects that require higher recording storage than standard 1-HDD NVR models.
• Suitable when the project needs up to 16TB total storage capacity, 4K HDMI output, smart playback, and Motion Detection 2.0.
• Compared with DS-7608NI-Q1, this model is a stronger choice when longer recording duration is required because it supports 2 SATA HDDs instead of 1.
• Since this model does not include built-in PoE ports, cameras should be powered using a separate PoE switch or external power source.
