Hikvision DS-7608NI-K2 8-Channel 4K Network Video Recorder

Eight-Camera Recording with Dual-Drive Storage Support

The Hikvision DS-7608NI-K2 is an 8-channel 1U network video recorder supporting recording resolutions up to 8 MP and 4K HDMI output. Bring entrance, shop-floor, office, and parking-area camera feeds into one recording system, with independent HDMI and VGA outputs and two SATA interfaces for expanded storage options.

Features and Benefits

• Eight IP camera inputs: Centralize a multi-camera surveillance installation.
• Decoding performance: 2 channels at 8 MP (25 fps), 4 channels at 4 MP (30 fps), or 8 channels at 1080p (30 fps).
• Independent video outputs: One HDMI and one VGA interface; HDMI supports 3840 × 2160 at 30 Hz.
• Dual-drive support: Two SATA interfaces, each supporting an HDD up to 6 TB.
• Gigabit Ethernet: One self-adaptive 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 interface.
• Special-function camera support: Supports some people-counting and ANPR cameras, subject to model compatibility. These capabilities require compatible cameras and are not a claim of universal built-in analytics.
• Channel-zero function: Supports remote viewing in low-bandwidth environments.
• Third-party network camera support: Confirm compatibility with the intended camera models.

Installation and Specification Notes

The supplied overview states 80 Mbps incoming bandwidth, while the detailed specifications state 160 Mbps incoming bandwidth. An incoming-bandwidth rating is therefore not claimed in this listing; verify the exact hardware version before planning camera streams. Two SATA interfaces describe supported drives, not included HDDs. Confirm HDD inclusion, camera power arrangements, special-function camera compatibility, and supplied accessories before purchase. Eight camera inputs do not imply simultaneous decoding of eight 8 MP streams.
