32-channel Turbo HD · AcuSense · 4 SATA · 4K HDMI
A high-capacity hybrid recorder for serious CCTV upgrades
The Hikvision iDS-7332HUHI-M4/S is a 1.5U, 32-channel Turbo HD DVR designed for larger homes, retail sites, schools, warehouses and commercial premises. It accepts up to 32 analogue cameras over BNC/coax, can be expanded for up to 64 IP camera channels, and adds AcuSense human and vehicle filtering to help operators find meaningful events faster.
It is particularly useful when you want to retain an existing coaxial cable network while moving to higher-resolution cameras, smarter event detection and a larger storage platform.

Before you buy: DVR, not a PoE NVR
This recorder has 32 BNC inputs for HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI and CVBS cameras.
It does not include built-in PoE network ports. IP cameras require a separate PoE switch or suitable power supply.
No hard drives are included unless they are specifically selected or stated in the offer.
High-resolution analogue frame rates vary: 8 MP records at up to 8 fps, while 5 MP records at up to 12 fps.
Best suited to
Large coaxial CCTV upgrades
Keep existing BNC cabling while upgrading cameras, recording resolution and event search.
Retail and POS monitoring
POS-triggered recording and transaction text overlay can help connect footage with point-of-sale activity.
Schools, warehouses and campuses
Thirty-two analogue inputs, four drive bays and remote access suit sites that need longer retention and broad coverage.
Mixed analogue and IP systems
Use HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI or CVBS cameras alongside compatible IP cameras as the site develops.
Channel capacity explained
The model name refers to its 32 physical analogue inputs. Hikvision also lists 32 IP inputs, expandable to a maximum of 64 IP channels. Actual mixed-channel configuration and performance depend on enabled analogue channels, camera resolution, bandwidth and recorder settings.
Capability
What it supports
What it means for you
Analogue cameras
32 × BNC
Direct connection for HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI and CVBS cameras over coax.
IP cameras
32 channels, expandable up to 64
Suitable for a staged move towards network cameras; separate network power is required.
IP camera resolution
Up to 12 MP
Higher-resolution IP cameras can be added within the recorder's bandwidth limits.
Network bandwidth
320 Mbps incoming · 256 Mbps outgoing
Camera bitrates and remote viewing streams must remain within these limits.
AcuSense intelligence that reduces search time
Motion Detection 2.0
Human and vehicle classification is enabled by default on all analogue channels, helping reduce alerts caused by rain, animals or vegetation.
Perimeter protection
Human and vehicle analysis is available on up to 16 analogue channels: 1–4, 9–12, 17–20 and 25–28.
Targeted event search
Search recordings by person, vehicle or event type instead of reviewing every motion clip.
POS-linked evidence
Trigger recording from POS events and overlay transaction information where supported by the site configuration.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a 32-channel or 64-channel recorder?It has 32 physical BNC inputs for analogue cameras. Hikvision lists 32 IP inputs, expandable up to 64 IP channels, subject to the recorder's configuration, bandwidth and resolution limits.
Does it power IP cameras through PoE?No. It has two Gigabit Ethernet ports but no built-in PoE switch. IP cameras need a separate PoE switch or suitable power supply.
Does it record 8 MP at real-time frame rates?No. The official maximum is 8 MP at 8 fps. It records 5 MP at up to 12 fps, while 1080p and lower resolutions can reach 25 fps PAL or 30 fps NTSC.
How many hard drives can it take?It has four internal SATA bays. Hikvision Australia's current product page lists up to 12 TB per drive, giving a maximum listed internal capacity of 48 TB.
Is AcuSense available on every analogue channel?Motion Detection 2.0 human and vehicle classification is available on all analogue channels. Perimeter protection supports up to 16 specified analogue channels.
Can it replace an older analogue DVR?Often, yes. It accepts HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI and CVBS inputs, but camera format, resolution, frame rate, power and cabling should be checked before ordering.
Can it show different views on two monitors?Yes. HDMI 2 is independent, while HDMI 1 and VGA display the same output. HDMI 2 supports up to 4K resolution.
Which firmware should I install?Use firmware that explicitly matches the exact iDS-7332HUHI-M4/S model and Australian/Asia region. Do not install European or iDS-7332HUHI-M4/S(S) firmware unless Hikvision support confirms compatibility.
