Hikvision DS-7608NI-M2/8P 8 Channel 8 PoE 8K NVR
The Hikvision DS-7608NI-M2/8P is an 8-channel plug-and-play 8K Network Video Recorder built for Australian homes, retail sites, warehouses and multi-site commercial installs. With 8 built-in PoE ports, up to 32 MP per channel, 128 Mbps incoming bandwidth and true 8K HDMI output, this M Series NVR is engineered to record, decode and display the latest generation of Hikvision IP cameras — including AcuSense, ColorVu, TandemVu and PanoVu models — with zero compromise on image quality.
Two SATA bays accept up to 16 TB drives each (32 TB total), giving you weeks of high-resolution continuous recording or months of motion-triggered footage. Smart features inherited from Hikvision's AcuSense ecosystem — including human and vehicle classification, false alarm filtering, line-crossing and intrusion detection — drastically reduce nuisance alerts and make playback searches genuinely fast.

Why Australian installers choose the DS-7608NI-M2/8P
The M2/8P sits at the sweet spot for small-to-medium IP camera deployments: enough PoE ports for a complete 8-camera build, enough bandwidth for the latest 4K and 4K+ ColorVu cameras, and enough decoding muscle to display 2 × 32 MP streams simultaneously on a single 8K monitor. It's a future-proof recorder you won't outgrow on the next camera upgrade.
True 32 MP Input Support
Record every channel at up to 32 MP — the highest resolution tier supported in any consumer-grade NVR — so you can deploy Hikvision PanoVu, fisheye and 4K+ AcuSense cameras without throttling.
AcuSense Smart Detection
When paired with AcuSense cameras, the NVR runs deep-learning human and vehicle classification to filter out leaves, animals and shadows — slashing false alarms and making playback searches almost instant.
8 PoE Ports Built-In
Power and data over a single Cat6 run to each camera, up to 100 m. IEEE 802.3 af/at compliant with auto-detection — plug your cameras in and they appear automatically.
Dual-SATA, 32 TB Capacity
Two internal SATA bays accept enterprise-grade surveillance HDDs up to 16 TB each, giving you long-duration 24/7 recording even at full 4K bitrates.
8K HDMI Display Output
Drive an 8K (7680 × 4320) monitor at 30 Hz, or a 4K display at 60 Hz, plus a secondary VGA output for a second workstation view in your control room.
H.265+ Smart Compression
Hikvision's H.265+ codec reduces bitrate by up to 75% compared to H.264 — that means more days of footage on the same drive, or the same retention on a smaller drive.

Why this 4-channel NVR is the sweet spot for small sites
Most Australian homes, shops and offices need 3–4 cameras — not 8 or 16. The DS-7604NI-M1/4P is sized precisely for that real-world scenario, but unlike entry-level recorders it gives you the same 8K HDMI output, 32 MP camera support and H.265+ smart compression as Hikvision's higher channel-count NVRs. Buy once, future-proofed for the next generation of 4K and 4K+ AcuSense cameras.
True 32 MP Input Support
Each of the four channels accepts cameras up to 32 MP — so you can deploy Hikvision PanoVu, fisheye, ColorVu and 4K+ AcuSense models without throttling resolution.
AcuSense Smart Detection
When paired with AcuSense cameras, the NVR runs deep-learning human and vehicle classification to filter out leaves, animals and shadows — drastically reducing false alarms.
4 PoE Ports Built-In
Power and data over a single Cat6 run to each camera, up to 100 m. IEEE 802.3 af/at compliant with auto-detection — plug your cameras in and they appear automatically.
Single-SATA, 16 TB Capacity
Drop in a Seagate SkyHawk or WD Purple drive up to 16 TB for weeks of continuous 4K H.265+ recording — silent, low-power, and rated for 24/7 surveillance duty.
8K HDMI & VGA Outputs
Drive an 8K (7680 × 4320) monitor for ultra-sharp playback, or use the independent VGA output to run a second viewing screen at the same time.
H.265+ Smart Compression
Hikvision's H.265+ codec reduces bitrate by up to 75% versus H.264 — meaning more days of footage on the same drive, or the same retention on a smaller drive.

Why this 32-channel NVR is built for large-site security
When 16 cameras aren't enough — and a rack-mount enterprise recorder is overkill — the DS-7732NI-M4/16P sits exactly in the middle. Sixteen onboard PoE ports remove the need for an extra PoE switch on the critical 16 cameras, and another 16 channels are free to add ANPR, panoramic, fisheye, thermal or third-party ONVIF cameras across your network. With 320 Mbps incoming bandwidth and 4 × SATA bays, this NVR is designed for projects where downtime is unacceptable and footage retention is measured in months, not days.
True 32-Channel 32 MP Input
Every channel supports cameras up to 32 MP — mix PanoVu, fisheye, ColorVu and 4K+ AcuSense cameras across a single NVR without throttling resolution or frame rate.
AcuSense Smart Detection
When paired with AcuSense cameras, the NVR runs deep-learning human and vehicle classification across all 32 channels — filtering false alarms from leaves, animals and shadows.
16 PoE Ports Built-In
Power and data over a single Cat6 run to 16 cameras, up to 100 m. IEEE 802.3 af/at compliant with 200 W total PoE budget — enough for a full perimeter without an extra switch.
Quad-SATA, 64 TB Capacity
Four internal SATA bays accept enterprise-grade surveillance HDDs up to 16 TB each, delivering month-long retention even with all 32 cameras at full 4K H.265+.
320 Mbps Incoming Bandwidth

Frequently asked questions
How does it handle 32 cameras with only 16 PoE ports?
Sixteen cameras connect directly to the NVR's onboard PoE ports for power + data. The remaining 16 channels accept IP cameras from your wider network — either powered by an external PoE switch or by their own power supplies.
Does the DS-7732NI-M4/16P come with hard drives?
The recorder ships as a chassis only. CCTV Guru offers pre-fitted Seagate SkyHawk or WD Purple surveillance drives from 4 TB up to 16 TB per bay — choose your configuration at checkout.
Can it be rack-mounted?
Yes — the 1.5U chassis is compatible with optional rack-mount ears for standard 19" racks. Order the rack-mount kit alongside the NVR if required.
What RAID levels are supported?
RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10 are all supported across the 4 SATA bays — letting you balance storage capacity, redundancy and performance for your site.
Will it work with non-Hikvision cameras?
Yes — the NVR is ONVIF compliant and works with most third-party ONVIF IP cameras. For full AcuSense smart features you'll need genuine Hikvision AcuSense-compatible cameras.
Do you ship to my city?
We ship Australia-wide from our local warehouse — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra and Darwin — with most metro orders arriving in 1–3 business days.

Hikvision DeepinMind · AI NVR · 32 CH · 16 PoE
The Hikvision iDS-7732NXI-M4/16P/X is a DeepinMind AI Network Video Recorder — Hikvision's most intelligent plug-and-play NVR. It brings true on-device deep-learning AI to your security system: facial recognition across up to 32 channels, perimeter protection on 24 channels, video structuralisation, ANPR, people counting, AcuSearch and Motion Detection 2.0 — all processed inside the recorder, not in the cloud.
Designed for Australian sites where security accuracy matters — corporate offices, hotels, gated estates, schools, retail chains, car yards and government — this 32-channel 1.5U NVR connects up to 32 IP cameras (16 via built-in PoE ports) and outputs true 8K via HDMI 1 while a second 4K HDMI drives a spot monitor or control-room display. Four SATA bays accept up to 16 TB each (64 TB total), with full RAID support for redundancy.

What makes DeepinMind different from a standard NVR
Most NVRs simply record video. The DeepinMind iDS series understands what it's recording. Hikvision's third-generation deep-learning engine sits inside the recorder, processing every frame to recognise faces, classify vehicles, detect line-crossing and intrusion, read number plates, and even count people moving through a doorway. The result is a security system that doesn't just film events — it flags the ones that matter the moment they happen.
Facial Recognition & Face Library
Manage up to 16 face libraries with 100,000 faces, plus a 10,000-face stranger library and 5 million face-capture records. Compare at 48 pictures per second across 32 channels.
Perimeter Protection
24-channel deep-learning intrusion, line-crossing and region-entry detection — drastically lower false alarms than traditional motion-only NVRs.
AcuSearch by Attribute
Search recorded footage by human attributes — gender, age range, top colour, bottom colour, hat/bag — or by vehicle attributes like colour and type. Hours of footage filtered in seconds.
Video Structuralisation
12-channel video metadata extraction transforms raw footage into searchable structured data — people, vehicles, faces and licence plates indexed automatically.
ANPR & People Counting
Built-in automatic number-plate recognition for entrances and driveways, plus people counting for retail traffic, building occupancy and queue management.
Motion Detection 2.0
AI-powered motion detection that classifies movement as human, vehicle, or other — eliminating wind, rain and shadow false triggers for genuinely smart alerts.

Hikvision Smart NVR — Installation & Operation Guide
Face recognition that works like your phone — but for your CCTV
You know how your iPhone Photos app automatically groups pictures of "Mum," "James," or "the kids"? The iDS-7732NXI-M4/16P/X does exactly the same thing — but for your live security cameras. Snap a photo of each family member, staff member, regular customer, courier or contractor and add their name. From then on, when the NVR sees them on any of your 32 cameras, you get a push notification on your phone that says "James arrived at the front door" instead of just *"motion detected."*
It also works the other way around. Add a banned customer, a former employee or anyone you don't want on the premises to a watchlist — and the NVR alerts you the instant they appear on any camera. Up to 100,000 faces across 16 organised libraries are stored locally on the recorder itself — no cloud subscription, no facial data leaving your premises, no monthly fees, ever.
Unlike battery-powered "smart" cameras that only recognise faces at the doorbell (and lose accuracy over time), the DeepinMind NVR runs the same enterprise-grade deep-learning engine used in Hikvision's commercial installations — applied to every camera, every angle, around the clock.
Recommended AI-ready cameras
For best face-recognition accuracy, pair this NVR with cameras from our verified Hikvision AcuSeek Cameras collection.

The remaining 16 channels accept IP cameras from anywhere on your network. With 320 Mbps incoming bandwidth, dual HDMI outputs, RAID support and a tough 1.5U chassis, this is a recorder built for sites where downtime simply isn't an option.
Dual HDMI Outputs
HDMI 1 drives a true 8K monitor; HDMI 2 drives a separate 4K display — perfect for control rooms with a primary and spot monitor.
RAID 0 / 1 / 5 / 6 / 10
Quad-SATA design supports RAID configurations for redundancy and performance — critical for sites where footage loss is not an option.
Hik-Connect P2P
Remote live view and playback on iOS and Android via the Hik-Connect app — no static IP or port forwarding required.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between this and the standard M Series NVR?
The iDS DeepinMind NVR has a dedicated AI processor inside the recorder. Even if your cameras aren't AI-enabled, the NVR runs facial recognition, perimeter protection and AcuSearch on the live stream — turning any IP camera into a smart camera.
Do I need special cameras to use the AI features?
No. The DeepinMind NVR processes video from any compatible Hikvision or ONVIF IP camera. Pairing it with Hikvision AcuSense cameras improves accuracy further by running detection on both ends.
How does facial recognition work in practice?
Enrol staff, VIPs, or known visitors into the face library. The NVR then alerts when a known face appears (or doesn't, in the case of a stranger). Up to 100,000 faces can be stored and compared at 48 pictures per second.
Does it support RAID?
Yes — RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10 across the 4 SATA bays. You can balance storage capacity, redundancy and performance to suit your site's footage retention policy.
Can it run with non-Hikvision cameras?
Yes — the NVR is ONVIF compliant and works with most third-party ONVIF cameras. For maximum AI feature parity, pair with Hikvision AcuSense / ColorVu / DarkFighter cameras.
Do you ship to my city?

Frequently asked questions
What is AcuSeek and how does it work?
AcuSeek is Hikvision's natural-language video search powered by the Guanlan AI model. Instead of filtering by date, channel or event type, you describe what you're looking for in plain English — and the NVR returns matching clips across all 8 channels in seconds.
Does it come with a hard drive?
This SKU ships as a chassis only — choose your preferred HDD capacity (2 TB to 16 TB per bay) at checkout, or fit your own surveillance-grade drives later. We recommend Seagate SkyHawk or WD Purple for 24/7 reliability.
Do I need special cameras for the AI features?
No. The VPro NVR runs AcuSeek, AcuSearch and facial recognition on any compatible Hikvision or ONVIF IP camera. Pairing with Hikvision AcuSense / ColorVu cameras improves accuracy further.
Are there ongoing subscription fees for the AI features?
No. All AI processing — AcuSeek, AcuSearch, facial recognition, ANPR — runs on-board the NVR. There are no recurring cloud fees, ever.
How many days of recording will I get?
At full 4K H.265+ on all 8 channels with 24/7 recording, expect roughly 7–10 days per 4 TB drive. Motion-only recording typically triples that figure. Fit two 16 TB drives for months of retention.
Do you ship to my city?
We ship Australia-wide from our local warehouse — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra and Darwin — with most metro orders arriving in 1–3 business days.

Frequently asked questions
What is AcuSeek and how does it work?
AcuSeek is Hikvision's natural-language video search powered by the Guanlan AI model. Instead of filtering by date, channel or event type, you describe what you're looking for in plain English — and the NVR returns matching clips across all 16 channels in seconds.
Does it come with a hard drive?
This SKU ships as a chassis only. Choose your preferred HDD capacity at checkout — we offer pre-fitted Seagate SkyHawk or WD Purple surveillance drives from 4 TB up to 16 TB per bay (32 TB total when both bays are full).
Which cameras work best with this NVR?
Browse our verified Hikvision AcuSeek Cameras collection — every camera in it is officially confirmed AcuSeek-compatible by Hikvision. Other Hikvision and ONVIF cameras still record normally, just without AcuSeek smart features on those channels.
Are there ongoing subscription fees for the AI features?
No. All AI processing — AcuSeek, AcuSearch, facial recognition, ANPR — runs on-board the NVR. No recurring cloud fees, ever.
How many days of recording will I get?
At full 4K H.265+ on all 16 channels with 24/7 recording, expect roughly 4–6 days per 8 TB drive. Motion-only recording typically triples that figure. Fit two 16 TB drives for over a month of continuous retention.
Do you ship to my city?
We ship Australia-wide from our local warehouse — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra and Darwin — with most metro orders arriving in 1–3 business days.

Hikvision VPro · AcuSeek AI · 32 CH · 16 PoE
The Hikvision DS-7732NXI-I4/16P/VPro is Hikvision's next-generation AI Network Video Recorder — built around Guanlan, Hikvision's large-scale AI model. It transforms the way you search and review CCTV footage: instead of scrubbing through hours of timeline, you simply describe what you're looking for in plain English — *"a person in a red jacket near the side gate yesterday afternoon"* — and the NVR finds it instantly.
Designed for serious Australian deployments — corporate offices, government, hotels, schools, large retail, gated estates, car dealerships and logistics centres — this 32-channel NVR pairs AcuSeek natural-language search, AcuSearch image-based search, 32-channel facial recognition and Motion Detection 2.0 with 16 built-in PoE ports, 4 SATA bays (up to 64 TB), and 384 Mbps of incoming bandwidth. It's a Verkada-class smart-NVR experience, locally hosted, with no recurring cloud fees.

AcuSeek — search your CCTV like you search Google
This is the feature that changes everything. AcuSeek is powered by Hikvision's Guanlan large-scale AI model, and it lets you query your recorded footage with natural language. No bookmarks, no event filters, no scrubbing — just type what you're looking for and the NVR returns the matching clips. It's the difference between spending an hour reviewing tape and finding the right 6 seconds in 6 seconds.
Natural-Language Video Search
Type *"a person carrying a backpack near the loading dock at 3pm"* and AcuSeek returns matching clips across all 32 channels — no manual review required.
AcuSearch by Image
Upload a reference image of a person or vehicle and AcuSearch finds every other appearance in your footage. Perfect for tracking suspects, missing persons or specific vehicles across multiple cameras.
32-Channel Face Recognition
Live facial recognition across every channel — enrol staff, VIPs, banned persons or watch-list faces and get instant alerts when they appear.
Motion Detection 2.0
AI-powered motion detection classifies movement as human, vehicle, or other — eliminating wind, rain and shadow false triggers for genuinely smart alerts.
Perimeter Protection
Deep-learning line-crossing, intrusion and region-entry detection across multiple channels — far more accurate than traditional motion-zone setups.
Powered by Guanlan AI
Built on Hikvision's proprietary large-scale AI model, the NVR continues to improve recognition accuracy through firmware updates — no cloud, no subscriptions.

Hikvision Smart NVR — Installation & Operation Guide
Face recognition that works like your phone — but for your CCTV
You know how your iPhone Photos app automatically groups pictures of "Mum," "James," or "the kids"? The DS-7732NXI-I4/16P/VPro does exactly the same thing — but for your live security cameras. Snap a photo of each family member, staff member, regular customer, courier or contractor and add their name. From then on, when the NVR sees them on any of your 32 cameras, you get a push notification on your phone that says "James arrived at the front door" instead of just *"motion detected."*
It also works the other way around. Add a banned customer, a former employee or anyone you don't want on the premises to a watchlist — and the NVR alerts you the instant they appear on any camera. Up to 100,000 faces across organised libraries are stored locally on the recorder itself — no cloud subscription, no facial data leaving your premises, no monthly fees, ever.
Unlike battery-powered "smart" cameras that only recognise faces at the doorbell (and lose accuracy over time), the VPro NVR runs the same enterprise-grade Guanlan AI engine used in Hikvision's commercial installations — applied to every camera, every angle, around the clock.

One recorder. 256 cameras. Half a petabyte of footage.
Most enterprise CCTV systems running 100+ cameras end up with a stack of three or four 64-channel NVRs — three rack units of hardware, three power feeds, three firmware update cycles, three user databases, three separate footage archives that have to be cross-referenced when an incident spans multiple cameras. The DS-96256NXI-S24R replaces all of that with one 4U chassis, one login, one timeline, one search interface. Combined with dual redundant PSUs and N+M hot-spare RAID, it's purpose-built for sites where downtime isn't measured in hours — it's measured in dollars per minute.
256-Channel IP Input
Connect up to 256 IP cameras at resolutions up to 32 MP per channel — mix PanoVu, fisheye, ColorVu, AcuSense and PTZ cameras across one recorder without throttling resolution or framerate.
480 TB Maximum Storage
Twenty-four internal SATA bays accept enterprise drives up to 20 TB each — delivering year-round 4K retention across hundreds of cameras without external SAN or extra licensing.
Dual Redundant PSU
Two hot-swappable power supplies — if one fails or a circuit drops, the second keeps the NVR running with zero downtime. Critical for data centres, government and 24/7 mission-critical sites.
Quad 2.5 Gbps Ethernet
Four self-adaptive 2.5 Gbps RJ45 ports — 2.5× the bandwidth of standard Gigabit. Configure for redundancy, load balancing, or VLAN segregation across camera + viewing + management networks.
RAID + N+M Hot Spare
Full RAID 0/1/5/6/10 across the 24 SATA bays plus N+M hot-spare drives that automatically replace failed disks — zero operator intervention, zero footage at risk.
AcuSense + AcuSearch + ANPR
On-board deep-learning analytics — human/vehicle classification, facial recognition, AcuSearch image-based search, ANPR, perimeter protection and video structuralisation across all 256 channels.
Recommended AI-ready cameras
To get the most out of the NVR's AcuSense, AcuSearch and facial recognition stack, pair it with cameras from our verified Hikvision AcuSeek Cameras collection. Every model on the list runs the latest AcuSense Gen 2H or ColorVu Gen 3 platform — the high-quality structured video the AI engine needs for sharp face crops, accurate ANPR and reliable perimeter alerts.

Enterprise-class display, network & redundancy
The DS-96256NXI-S24R is built for 24/7 control-room operation. True 8K HDMI output drives a wall-mounted overview display while additional HDMI and VGA outputs feed independent operator workstations. Four 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports deliver the network headroom needed when hundreds of cameras stream high-bitrate footage simultaneously, and dual hot-swappable PSUs ensure the recorder stays online through power-feed failures, UPS swaps, and circuit maintenance.
Hik-Connect & Hik-Central Pro
Free remote viewing on Hik-Connect, or integrate into a Hik-Central Pro VMS for centralised management across multiple sites, multiple NVRs and unified operator workflows.
ONVIF Compatible
Works with the full Hikvision IP range and most third-party ONVIF cameras — flexibility for hybrid, multi-vendor enterprise sites that mix Hikvision with legacy or specialty cameras.

Frequently asked questions
Is this really 256 channels in one recorder?
Yes — the DS-96256NXI-S24R is Hikvision's largest single-chassis NVR. It supports up to 256 IP cameras and replaces what would otherwise be a stack of three or four 64-channel recorders. Designed for ports, mining sites, hospitals, casinos, prisons and major commercial properties.
Does it come with hard drives?
The recorder ships as a chassis only. CCTV Guru offers pre-fitted enterprise surveillance drives — Seagate SkyHawk Enterprise, WD Purple Pro or Exos — from 8 TB up to 20 TB per bay. For full 480 TB capacity, fit 24 × 20 TB drives in RAID 6 configuration.
How does the dual PSU work?
Two redundant power supplies run in parallel. If one fails (or a circuit drops), the second instantly takes the full load — the NVR doesn't reboot, drop a frame or miss any footage. Failed PSUs are hot-swappable while the NVR keeps running.
Why 2.5 Gbps Ethernet instead of 10 GbE?
2.5 Gbps NICs deliver 2.5× the throughput of standard Gigabit while remaining compatible with standard Cat6 cabling and most managed enterprise switches — no fibre infrastructure required. Configure all four ports for aggregate throughput or use them for network segregation.
What AI features does it run?
AcuSense smart detection, facial recognition, AcuSearch (image-based search), perimeter protection, video structuralisation, ANPR and people counting — all running on-device across all 256 channels. For text-based AcuSeek search, see the DeepinMind Pro range (iDS-9632/9664NXI-P series).
Do you ship and install Australia-wide?
We ship Australia-wide from our local warehouse, and enterprise customers can request white-glove delivery and installation support via our local team. Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and major regional centres covered. Contact us for an enterprise quote.

Four dedicated GPU engines run intelligent algorithms in parallel — face recognition, perimeter, ANPR and structuralisation all run simultaneously without bottlenecking each other.
AcuSearch by Image
Upload a reference photo of a person or vehicle and AcuSearch finds every other appearance in your footage across all 64 channels. Days of investigation collapsed into seconds.
256 TB Maximum Storage
Sixteen internal SATA bays accept enterprise drives up to 16 TB each, delivering 6+ months of continuous 4K retention across all 64 cameras — no external SAN, no extra licensing.
Face recognition that works like your phone — but for your CCTV
You know how your iPhone Photos app automatically groups pictures of "Mum," "James," or "the kids"? The iDS-9664NXI-P8 does exactly the same thing — but for your live security cameras. Enrol photos of staff, family, regulars, couriers or contractors and add their names. From then on, when the NVR sees them on any of your 64 cameras, you get a push notification on your phone that says "James arrived at the front door" instead of just *"motion detected."*
It also works the other way around. Add a banned customer, a former employee or anyone you don't want on the premises to a watchlist — and the NVR alerts you the instant they appear on any of your 64 cameras. Up to 100,000 faces across 32 organised libraries are stored locally on the recorder itself — no cloud subscription, no facial data leaving your premises, no monthly fees, ever.
Unlike battery-powered "smart" doorbells that only recognise faces at one entrance (and lose accuracy over time), the DeepinMind Pro NVR runs Hikvision's enterprise-grade AI engine across every camera, every angle, around the clock.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between DeepinMind Pro and the M Series DeepinMind?
The Pro tier uses a quad-GPU accelerated AI engine that's an order of magnitude more powerful — runs face recognition, perimeter, AcuSeek and structuralisation simultaneously without throttling. The M Series uses a smaller AI engine more suited to single-task workloads.
Is there a redundant-power version available?
Yes — the iDS-9664NXI-P8R has dual hot-swappable PSUs for sites where power redundancy is mandatory (data centres, critical infrastructure, government). Contact our Australian team for /R variant pricing and stock.
Does it come with hard drives?
The recorder ships as a chassis only. CCTV Guru offers pre-fitted enterprise surveillance drives — Seagate SkyHawk, WD Purple or Exos — from 8 TB up to 16 TB per bay. Choose your RAID configuration at checkout.
What is N+M hot spare?
It's a step beyond standard RAID: configure N working drives plus M designated hot-spare drives. If any working drive fails, a spare automatically replaces it and rebuilds the array — no operator intervention, no downtime, no footage at risk.
Do I need special cameras to use the AI features?
No. The NVR processes video from any compatible Hikvision or ONVIF IP camera. Pair with cameras from our Hikvision AcuSeek Cameras collection for the sharpest face crops and best recognition accuracy.
Do you ship to my city?
We ship Australia-wide from our local warehouse — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra and Darwin — with most metro orders arriving in 1–3 business days. Larger enterprise orders shipped by carrier with tracking and signature.

Hikvision DeepinMind Pro · AcuSeek AI · 32 CH · 8 PoE · 8K
The Hikvision iDS-9632NXI-P8 is Hikvision's flagship DeepinMind Pro AI NVR in its 8-PoE configuration — the same enterprise-class AI brain as the larger P16, but tuned for sites that already have managed PoE switching for most of their cameras and just need a handful (up to 8) powered directly from the recorder. It combines AcuSeek natural-language video search, AcuSearch image-based search, 16-channel live facial recognition, 32-channel face picture comparison, perimeter protection, video structuralisation and ANPR — all running on GPU-accelerated AI engines that can model up to 600,000 targets per day.
Designed for serious Australian sites — large hotels, hospitals, casinos, schools, gated estates, retail flagship stores, car dealerships and government facilities — this enterprise NVR connects up to 32 IP cameras (8 via built-in PoE, the rest via your network). True 8K HDMI output drives a flagship control-room monitor, and eight SATA bays accept up to 16 TB drives each (128 TB total) with full RAID 0/1/5/6/10 redundancy. Ships as a chassis only — choose your HDD configuration at checkout.

The most intelligent NVR Hikvision makes
This isn't a standard NVR with AI bolted on. The DeepinMind Pro tier is Hikvision's top-of-range AI recorder, with GPU-accelerated processing that's an order of magnitude more powerful than the M Series DeepinMind chassis. It runs AcuSeek natural-language search (a feature usually exclusive to the VPro line), Hikvision's full DeepinMind facial recognition stack, and can model 600,000 detected targets every day — meaning every person, vehicle and licence plate that crosses your site is automatically indexed and searchable.
AcuSeek Natural-Language Search
Type *"a person in a red jacket at the loading dock yesterday"* and the NVR finds matching clips across all 32 channels in seconds — no manual scrubbing, no event tagging in advance.
16-Ch Live Face Recognition
Real-time facial recognition runs on 16 live camera streams. Add another 16 channels of face-picture comparison from recorded footage for forensic review.
100,000 Face Library
32 organised face libraries holding up to 100,000 enrolled faces between them — enough for staff, VIPs, watch-lists, contractors and visitor history at any commercial site.
600,000 Targets/Day Modelling
GPU-accelerated AI engine indexes up to 600,000 detected people, vehicles and licence plates every 24 hours — building a structured, searchable database of everything that happens on site.
AcuSearch by Image
Upload a reference photo of a person or vehicle and AcuSearch finds every other appearance in your footage across all 32 channels. Hours of investigation collapsed into seconds.
Perimeter, ANPR & Structuralisation
Built-in deep-learning perimeter protection, automatic number-plate recognition and video structuralisation — all running on-device, no separate analytics server required.
Face recognition that works like your phone — but for your CCTV
You know how your iPhone Photos app automatically groups pictures of "Mum," "James," or "the kids"? The iDS-9632NXI-P8 does exactly the same thing — but for your live security cameras. Enrol photos of staff, family, regulars, couriers or contractors and add their names. From then on, when the NVR sees them on any of your 32 cameras, you get a push notification on your phone that says "James arrived at the front door" instead of just *"motion detected."*
It also works the other way around. Add a banned customer, a former employee or anyone you don't want on the premises to a watchlist — and the NVR alerts you the instant they appear on any camera. Up to 100,000 faces across 32 organised libraries are stored locally on the recorder itself — no cloud subscription, no facial data leaving your premises, no monthly fees, ever.
Unlike battery-powered "smart" doorbells that only recognise faces at one entrance (and lose accuracy over time), the DeepinMind Pro NVR runs Hikvision's enterprise-grade AI engine across every camera, every angle, around the clock.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the P8 and the P16?
Same DeepinMind Pro AI brain, same 32-channel capacity, same 128 TB storage. The P16 has 16 PoE ports; the P8 has 8. Choose the P8 if your site already has a managed PoE switch backbone and you only need a handful of cameras powered directly from the recorder.
What's the difference between DeepinMind Pro and the regular DeepinMind M Series?
The Pro tier uses a GPU-accelerated AI engine that's an order of magnitude more powerful — modelling 600,000 targets per day vs the M Series' typical 100,000–200,000. It also adds AcuSeek (text-based search), which is normally exclusive to the VPro line.
Do I need special cameras for AcuSeek and face recognition?
No. The NVR processes video from any compatible Hikvision or ONVIF IP camera. Pair with cameras from our Hikvision AcuSeek Cameras collection for the sharpest face crops and best recognition accuracy.
Are there subscription fees?
No. All AI processing — AcuSeek, AcuSearch, facial recognition, ANPR, perimeter — runs on-board the NVR. No recurring cloud fees, no per-user licensing, ever.
Does it come with hard drives?
The recorder ships as a chassis only. CCTV Guru offers pre-fitted Seagate SkyHawk, WD Purple or enterprise Exos drives from 8 TB up to 16 TB per bay — choose your RAID configuration at checkout.
Do you ship to my city?
We ship Australia-wide from our local warehouse — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra and Darwin — with most metro orders arriving in 1–3 business days. Enterprise orders shipped by carrier with tracking and signature.

The most intelligent NVR Hikvision makes
This isn't a standard NVR with AI bolted on. The DeepinMind Pro tier is Hikvision's top-of-range AI recorder, with GPU-accelerated processing that's an order of magnitude more powerful than the M Series DeepinMind chassis. It runs AcuSeek natural-language search (a feature usually exclusive to the VPro line), Hikvision's full DeepinMind facial recognition stack, and can model 600,000 detected targets every day — meaning every person, vehicle and licence plate that crosses your site is automatically indexed and searchable.
AcuSeek Natural-Language Search
Type *"a person in a red jacket at the loading dock yesterday"* and the NVR finds matching clips across all 32 channels in seconds — no manual scrubbing, no event tagging in advance.
16-Ch Live Face Recognition
Real-time facial recognition runs on 16 live camera streams. Add another 16 channels of face-picture comparison from recorded footage for forensic review.
100,000 Face Library
32 organised face libraries holding up to 100,000 enrolled faces between them — enough for staff, VIPs, watch-lists, contractors and visitor history at any commercial site.
600,000 Targets/Day Modelling
GPU-accelerated AI engine indexes up to 600,000 detected people, vehicles and licence plates every 24 hours — building a structured, searchable database of everything that happens on site.
AcuSearch by Image
Upload a reference photo of a person or vehicle and AcuSearch finds every other appearance in your footage across all 32 channels. Hours of investigation collapsed into seconds.
Perimeter, ANPR & Structuralisation
Built-in deep-learning perimeter protection, automatic number-plate recognition and video structuralisation — all running on-device, no separate analytics server required.
Face recognition that works like your phone — but for your CCTV
You know how your iPhone Photos app automatically groups pictures of "Mum," "James," or "the kids"? The iDS-9632NXI-P16 does exactly the same thing — but for your live security cameras. Enrol photos of staff, family, regulars, couriers or contractors and add their names. From then on, when the NVR sees them on any of your 32 cameras, you get a push notification on your phone that says "James arrived at the front door" instead of just *"motion detected."*
It also works the other way around. Add a banned customer, a former employee or anyone you don't want on the premises to a watchlist — and the NVR alerts you the instant they appear on any camera. Up to 100,000 faces across 32 organised libraries are stored locally on the recorder itself — no cloud subscription, no facial data leaving your premises, no monthly fees, ever.
Unlike battery-powered "smart" doorbells that only recognise faces at one entrance (and lose accuracy over time), the DeepinMind Pro NVR runs Hikvision's enterprise-grade AI engine across every camera, every angle, around the clock.

What makes DeepinMind different from a standard NVR
Most NVRs simply record video. The DeepinMind iDS series understands what it's recording. Hikvision's deep-learning engine sits inside the recorder, processing every frame to recognise faces, classify vehicles, detect line-crossing and intrusion, read number plates, and count people moving through a doorway. The result is a security system that doesn't just film events — it flags the ones that matter the moment they happen.
Facial Recognition & Face Library
Manage up to 16 face libraries with 100,000 enrolled faces, plus a 10,000-face stranger library and 5 million face-capture records. Compare at 48 pictures per second across all 16 channels.
Perimeter Protection
16-channel deep-learning intrusion, line-crossing and region-entry detection — drastically lower false alarms than traditional motion-only NVRs.
AcuSearch by Image
Upload a reference image of a person or vehicle and AcuSearch finds every other appearance in your recorded footage. Hours of investigation collapsed into seconds.
Video Structuralisation
12-channel video metadata extraction transforms raw footage into searchable structured data — people, vehicles, faces and licence plates indexed automatically.
ANPR & People Counting
Built-in automatic number-plate recognition for entrances and driveways, plus people counting for retail traffic, building occupancy and queue management.
Motion Detection 2.0
AI-powered motion detection that classifies movement as human, vehicle, or other — eliminating wind, rain and shadow false triggers for genuinely smart alerts.
Face recognition that works like your phone — but for your CCTV
You know how your iPhone Photos app automatically groups pictures of "Mum," "James," or "the kids"? The iDS-7716NXI-M4/16P/X does exactly the same thing — but for your live security cameras. Snap a photo of each family member, staff member, regular customer, courier or contractor and add their name. From then on, when the NVR sees them on any of your 16 cameras, you get a push notification on your phone that says "James arrived at the front door" instead of just *"motion detected."*
It also works the other way around. Add a banned customer, a former employee or anyone you don't want on the premises to a watchlist — and the NVR alerts you the instant they appear on any camera. Up to 100,000 faces across 16 organised libraries are stored locally on the recorder itself — no cloud subscription, no facial data leaving your premises, no monthly fees, ever.
Unlike battery-powered "smart" cameras that only recognise faces at the doorbell (and lose accuracy over time), the DeepinMind NVR runs the same enterprise-grade deep-learning engine used in Hikvision's commercial installations — applied to every camera, every angle, around the clock.
Recommended AI-ready cameras
For best face-recognition accuracy, pair this NVR with cameras from our verified Hikvision AcuSeek Cameras collection. Every model uses the latest AcuSense Gen 2H or ColorVu Gen 3 platform — the exact platforms Hikvision's DeepinMind engine needs for sharp, structured face crops. Four of the most popular picks:

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between this and a standard M Series NVR?
The iDS DeepinMind NVR has a dedicated AI processor inside the recorder. Even if your cameras aren't AI-enabled, the NVR runs facial recognition, perimeter protection and AcuSearch on the live stream — turning any IP camera into a smart camera.
Do I need special cameras to use the AI features?
No. The DeepinMind NVR processes video from any compatible Hikvision or ONVIF IP camera. Pair with cameras from our Hikvision AcuSeek Cameras collection for the sharpest face crops and best recognition accuracy.
Does it come with hard drives?
This SKU ships as a chassis only. CCTV Guru offers pre-fitted Seagate SkyHawk or WD Purple surveillance drives from 4 TB up to 16 TB per bay — choose your configuration at checkout.
How does facial recognition work in practice?
Enrol staff, VIPs or known visitors into the face library. The NVR then alerts when a known face appears (or when a stranger does). Up to 100,000 faces can be stored locally and compared at 48 pictures per second.
Does it support RAID?
Yes — RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10 across the 4 SATA bays. You can balance storage capacity, redundancy and performance to suit your site's footage retention policy.
Do you ship to my city?
We ship Australia-wide from our local warehouse — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra and Darwin — with most metro orders arriving in 1–3 business days.

Hikvision M Series · 8K · 64 Channel · 2U Enterprise
The Hikvision DS-9664NI-M8 is Hikvision's flagship 64-channel M Series 8K Network Video Recorder — built for serious Australian enterprise sites where one recorder needs to manage every camera in a building, campus, depot or multi-site backbone. 64 IP camera inputs, 400 Mbps incoming bandwidth, 8 SATA bays for up to 128 TB, RAID-grade redundancy and 4 simultaneous display outputs (2 × HDMI + 2 × VGA) make this the recorder you specify when downtime, footage loss or "we ran out of channels" are not on the table.
This is a non-PoE enterprise chassis — designed for sites that already run a managed PoE switch backbone (or non-PoE camera infrastructure like fibre or wireless backhaul). Pair it with any of Hikvision's enterprise managed switches or third-party PoE infrastructure, then let the M8 handle recording, AI processing, multi-monitor display, RAID redundancy and centralised management for all 64 channels.

Why 64 channels in one chassis matters
Most large Australian sites running 50–60 cameras end up with two 32-channel NVRs — which means two devices to commission, two firmware update cycles, two user databases, two playback interfaces, and two separate footage archives that have to be cross-referenced when an incident spans multiple cameras. The DS-9664NI-M8 collapses all of that into a single 2U chassis: one recorder, one login, one timeline, one search. It's the difference between managing a security system and fighting one.
64-Channel 32 MP Input
Every channel supports cameras up to 32 MP — mix PanoVu, fisheye, ColorVu and 4K+ AcuSense cameras across a single NVR without throttling resolution or frame rate.
400 Mbps Incoming Bandwidth
Comfortably runs a full deployment of 4K H.265+ cameras across all 64 channels simultaneously — no bottlenecks, no compromise on framerate or bitrate.
Octa-SATA, 128 TB Capacity
Eight internal SATA bays accept enterprise-grade surveillance HDDs up to 16 TB each, delivering month-long retention even with all 64 cameras at full 4K bitrates.
Dual HDMI + Dual VGA
Four independent display outputs — HDMI 1 drives a true 8K monitor, HDMI 2 a 4K monitor, plus two independent VGA workstations. Perfect for multi-operator control rooms.
RAID 0 / 1 / 5 / 6 / 10
Configure RAID across the 8 SATA bays to balance capacity, redundancy and performance. RAID 5 or 6 protects footage from single or dual drive failure without operator intervention.
AcuSense Smart Detection
When paired with AcuSense cameras, the NVR runs deep-learning human and vehicle classification across all 64 channels — filtering false alarms and making playback searches fast.

Frequently asked questions
Does the DS-9664NI-M8 have built-in PoE?
No — this is a non-PoE enterprise chassis. It's designed for sites that already run a managed PoE switch backbone. If you need built-in PoE for some channels, look at the DS-7732NI-M4/24P (32-channel, 24 PoE) as a sibling option.
Does it come with hard drives?
The recorder ships as a chassis only. CCTV Guru offers pre-fitted Seagate SkyHawk, WD Purple or enterprise-grade Exos drives from 8 TB up to 16 TB per bay — choose your RAID-ready configuration at checkout.
What RAID levels are supported?
RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10 are all supported across the 8 SATA bays. For most enterprise deployments we recommend RAID 5 (single drive redundancy) or RAID 6 (dual drive redundancy) — both protect footage if a drive fails.
Can it really output 8K and 4K at the same time?
Yes — HDMI 1 outputs true 8K (7680×4320) @ 30 Hz, and HDMI 2 outputs 4K @ 60 Hz, from independent sources. With the addition of two independent VGA outputs, you can run up to four monitors at once from a single NVR.
Is it rack-mountable?
Yes — the 2U chassis is designed for 19" racks and ships with rack-mount ears. Fits standard server, comms or AV racks at 90 mm height.
Do you ship to my city?
We ship Australia-wide from our local warehouse — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra and Darwin — with most metro orders arriving in 1–3 business days. Larger enterprise orders shipped by carrier with tracking.

Hikvision M Series · 8K · 64 Channel · 3U Enterprise · 256 TB
The Hikvision DS-9664NI-M16 is the largest single-chassis Network Video Recorder Hikvision builds — 64 IP camera channels, 16 internal SATA bays, up to 256 TB of total storage, and a 3U enterprise rack chassis purpose-built for sites where footage retention is measured in months, not weeks. Hospitals, casinos, ports, large hotels, multi-building campuses, prisons, mining sites and government facilities — the DS-9664NI-M16 is the recorder you specify when nothing smaller will do.
This is a non-PoE enterprise chassis — designed for sites that already run a managed PoE switch backbone (or non-PoE camera infrastructure like fibre, wireless backhaul or third-party power injectors). Combine the M16 with your existing switching infrastructure and let it handle recording, AI processing, multi-monitor display, RAID redundancy, N+M hot-spare protection and centralised management for all 64 channels in one rack unit.

Why 16 SATA bays and 256 TB change the project economics
For most enterprise sites, the biggest hidden cost in a CCTV system isn't the cameras or the NVR — it's the storage. A 64-camera 4K H.265+ deployment can chew through 60–80 TB per month at 24/7 recording. With most NVRs you'd need a separate dedicated SAN, an iSCSI target server or a stack of multiple recorders just to hold a quarter of footage. The DS-9664NI-M16 collapses all of that into one 3U chassis with 16 SATA bays — fill it with 16 TB enterprise drives and you have over 3 months of continuous 4K retention on every camera, in a single rack unit, with no extra servers, no extra licensing, no extra failure points.
64-Channel 32 MP Input
Every channel supports cameras up to 32 MP — mix PanoVu, fisheye, ColorVu and 4K+ AcuSense cameras across a single NVR without throttling resolution or frame rate.
256 TB Maximum Storage
Sixteen internal SATA bays accept enterprise-grade surveillance HDDs up to 16 TB each, delivering three-month-plus retention even with all 64 cameras at full 4K bitrate.
RAID 0/1/5/6/10 + N+M Hot Spare
Configure full RAID across the 16 SATA bays, plus N+M hot-spare drives that automatically take over if a working drive fails — zero operator intervention, zero footage loss.
Dual HDMI + Dual VGA
Four independent display outputs — HDMI 1 drives a true 8K monitor, HDMI 2 a 4K monitor, plus two independent VGA workstations. Perfect for multi-operator 24/7 control rooms.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the M16 and the M8?
The M16 has twice the SATA bays (16 vs 8) and double the storage capacity (256 TB vs 128 TB), in a slightly taller 3U chassis vs the M8's 2U. Same 64 channels, same 400 Mbps bandwidth, same dual HDMI + dual VGA. Choose the M16 if you need maximum storage retention; choose the M8 if rack space is tight.
Is there a redundant-power version available?
Yes — the DS-9664NI-M16/R has dual hot-swappable PSUs for sites where power redundancy is mandatory (data centres, critical infrastructure, government). Contact our Australian team if you need the /R variant.
Does it come with hard drives?
The recorder ships as a chassis only. CCTV Guru offers pre-fitted enterprise surveillance drives from 8 TB up to 16 TB per bay — choose your RAID-ready configuration at checkout. For 256 TB max, fit 16 × 16 TB drives in RAID 6 for dual-drive failure protection.
Does the M16 have built-in PoE?
No — this is a non-PoE enterprise chassis. It's designed for sites that already run a managed PoE switch backbone. The M Series PoE variants (DS-7732NI-M4/24P, DS-7732NI-M4/16P) max out at 32 channels.
What is N+M hot spare?
It's a step beyond standard RAID: configure N working drives plus M designated hot-spare drives. If any working drive fails, a spare automatically replaces it and rebuilds the array — no operator intervention, no downtime, no footage at risk.
Do you ship to my city?
We ship Australia-wide from our local warehouse — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra and Darwin — with most metro orders arriving in 1–3 business days. Larger enterprise orders shipped by carrier with tracking and signature.

Hikvision M Series · 8K · 32 Channel · 3U · 256 TB
The Hikvision DS-9632NI-M16 is the enterprise-storage choice for 32-channel deployments — the same 3U chassis and 16 SATA bays (256 TB max) as the flagship 64-channel M16, but tuned for sites that need extreme footage retention rather than maximum camera count. Hospitals, casinos, hotels, mid-sized warehouses, government archives and compliance-driven facilities that need months of continuous 4K recording per camera, on a single recorder, in a single rack unit.
This is a non-PoE enterprise chassis — designed for sites that already run a managed PoE switch backbone (or non-PoE camera infrastructure like fibre, wireless backhaul or third-party power injectors). Pair the M16 with your existing switch infrastructure and let it handle recording, AI processing, multi-monitor display, RAID redundancy and N+M hot-spare protection for all 32 channels.

The 32-channel NVR for sites that take retention seriously
Most 32-channel NVRs ship with 4 or 8 SATA bays — enough for 30–60 days of 4K H.265+ footage. That's fine for compliance minimums, but it's barely two months. The DS-9632NI-M16 doubles or quadruples that: 16 SATA bays for up to 256 TB total — enough for 6 months to a full year of continuous 4K retention at typical 32-channel bitrates. For hospitals, casinos, government and compliance-driven facilities, that retention window is the difference between meeting an investigation window and missing it.
32-Channel 32 MP Input
Every channel supports cameras up to 32 MP — mix PanoVu, fisheye, ColorVu and 4K+ AcuSense cameras across a single NVR without throttling resolution or frame rate.
256 TB Maximum Storage
Sixteen internal SATA bays accept enterprise-grade surveillance HDDs up to 16 TB each, delivering 6-12 months of continuous 4K retention across all 32 cameras.
RAID 0/1/5/6/10 + N+M Hot Spare
Configure full RAID across the 16 SATA bays, plus N+M hot-spare drives that automatically take over if a working drive fails — zero operator intervention, zero footage loss.
Dual HDMI + Dual VGA
Four independent display outputs — HDMI 1 drives a true 8K monitor, HDMI 2 a 4K monitor, plus two independent VGA workstations. Perfect for multi-operator 24/7 control rooms.
320 Mbps Incoming Bandwidth
Comfortably runs all 32 channels at full 4K H.265+ simultaneously — generous bandwidth headroom per camera, so you can fit higher-bitrate streams without compromise.
ANPR, People Counting & Fisheye
Native support for specialty cameras — ANPR for entry/exit gates, people counting for hospital wards or retail traffic, and fisheye / panoramic for wide-area coverage.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the M16 and the 9632NI-M8?
The M16 has double the SATA bays (16 vs 8) and double the maximum storage (256 TB vs 128 TB), in a slightly taller 3U chassis vs the M8's 2U. Same 32 channels, same 320 Mbps bandwidth. Choose the M16 if you need extreme retention — 6–12 months instead of 2–3.
Why choose this over the DS-9664NI-M16 (64-channel)?
Same chassis, same 256 TB storage, but tuned for 32 channels at slightly lower price. If your site has 32 cameras (not 64) and needs extreme retention, the 9632NI-M16 gives you the same storage capacity with more bandwidth headroom per camera.
Is there a redundant-power version available?
Yes — the DS-9632NI-M16/R has dual hot-swappable PSUs for sites where power redundancy is mandatory (data centres, critical infrastructure, government). Contact our Australian team if you need the /R variant.
Does it come with hard drives?
The recorder ships as a chassis only. CCTV Guru offers pre-fitted enterprise surveillance drives from 8 TB up to 16 TB per bay — choose your RAID-ready configuration at checkout. For 256 TB max, fit 16 × 16 TB drives in RAID 6 for dual-drive failure protection.
Does the M16 have built-in PoE?
No — this is a non-PoE enterprise chassis. It's designed for sites that already run a managed PoE switch backbone. The M Series PoE variants (DS-7732NI-M4/24P, DS-7732NI-M4/16P) max out at 32 channels but with much less storage.
Do you ship to my city?
We ship Australia-wide from our local warehouse — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra and Darwin — with most metro orders arriving in 1–3 business days. Larger enterprise orders shipped by carrier with tracking and signature.

Hikvision M Series · 8K · 32 Channel · 24 PoE
The Hikvision DS-7732NI-M4/24P is a 32-channel 8K Network Video Recorder built for serious Australian sites — large factories, multi-building campuses, schools, hotels, car yards, logistics centres and high-end residential estates. The standout feature: 24 built-in PoE ports — eight more than the standard 16-PoE model — so you can power and connect up to 24 cameras directly from the recorder without needing an extra PoE switch. The remaining 8 channels accept IP cameras from your wider network for ANPR, panoramic, fisheye or third-party ONVIF models.
Four internal SATA bays accept up to 16 TB drives each (64 TB total), delivering months of continuous 24/7 recording even with all 32 channels at full 4K. AcuSense-ready firmware adds deep-learning human and vehicle classification, line-crossing, intrusion detection and perimeter protection across every channel — drastically reducing nuisance alerts and turning multi-day playback searches into seconds.

Why 24 PoE ports change the install economics
On a typical 32-channel site, you'd usually need the NVR plus a separate 24-port managed PoE switch — that's another rack unit, another power supply, another point of failure, and another piece of hardware to commission and document. The DS-7732NI-M4/24P collapses all of that into a single 1.5U chassis. Your installer plugs up to 24 cameras directly into the back of the recorder via Cat6 (up to 100 m runs), and the NVR handles power, data and discovery automatically. Faster install, fewer parts, lower total cost of ownership.
24 PoE Ports Built-In
Power and data over a single Cat6 run to 24 cameras, up to 100 m. IEEE 802.3 af/at compliant with a generous 210 W total PoE budget (max 30 W per port) — enough for a full perimeter without an extra PoE switch.
True 32-Channel 32 MP Input
Every channel supports cameras up to 32 MP — mix PanoVu, fisheye, ColorVu and 4K+ AcuSense cameras across a single NVR without throttling resolution or frame rate.
AcuSense Smart Detection
When paired with AcuSense cameras, the NVR runs deep-learning human and vehicle classification across all 32 channels — filtering false alarms from leaves, animals and shadows.
Quad-SATA, 64 TB Capacity
Four internal SATA bays accept enterprise-grade surveillance HDDs up to 16 TB each, delivering month-long retention even with all 32 cameras at full 4K H.265+.
320 Mbps Incoming Bandwidth
Designed to run a full deployment of 4K ColorVu, AcuSense and PanoVu cameras simultaneously — without the bottlenecks of lower-tier NVRs.
IP Speaker Integration
Connect up to 8 Hikvision IP speakers for two-way audio warnings, scheduled announcements or live security-officer talk-down — directly from the NVR.

Frequently asked questions
Why choose the 24-PoE version over the 16-PoE model?
If your site needs to power more than 16 cameras directly from the NVR — typical for large warehouses, retail, multi-floor offices, schools and gated estates — the 24-PoE version saves you the cost and complexity of adding a separate PoE switch.
How does it handle 32 cameras with only 24 PoE ports?
Twenty-four cameras connect directly to the NVR's onboard PoE ports for power + data. The remaining 8 channels accept IP cameras from your wider network — either powered by an external PoE switch or by their own power supplies.
Does the DS-7732NI-M4/24P come with hard drives?
The recorder ships as a chassis only. CCTV Guru offers pre-fitted Seagate SkyHawk or WD Purple surveillance drives from 4 TB up to 16 TB per bay — choose your configuration at checkout.
Can it be rack-mounted?
Yes — the 1.5U chassis is compatible with optional rack-mount ears for standard 19" racks. Order the rack-mount kit alongside the NVR if required.
What RAID levels are supported?
RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10 are all supported across the 4 SATA bays — letting you balance storage capacity, redundancy and performance for your site.
Do you ship to my city?
We ship Australia-wide from our local warehouse — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra and Darwin — with most metro orders arriving in 1–3 business days.

Hikvision M Series · 8K · 32 Channel · 2U Enterprise
The Hikvision DS-9632NI-M8 is a 32-channel 2U enterprise Network Video Recorder — the right-sized choice for medium-to-large Australian sites that need the full enterprise feature set (RAID, hot spare, dual HDMI, dual VGA, rack mount) without the rack space or storage overhead of a 3U chassis. Schools, mid-sized hotels, warehouses, distribution centres, retail chains and multi-tenant offices that run 24-32 cameras and need a recorder built for 24/7 reliability.
This is a non-PoE enterprise chassis — designed for sites that already run a managed PoE switch backbone (or non-PoE camera infrastructure like fibre, wireless backhaul or third-party power injectors). Pair the M8 with your existing switching infrastructure and let it handle recording, AI processing, multi-monitor display and RAID redundancy for all 32 channels in a compact 2U footprint.

Enterprise reliability in a compact 2U footprint
The DS-9632NI-M8 hits the sweet spot for sites that need real enterprise features — RAID, hot spare, redundant network, multi-monitor outputs, rack mounting — but don't need the 256 TB storage or 64-channel scale of the larger M16 chassis. At 2U high and 442 mm wide, it slots cleanly into a comms rack or AV cabinet without dominating it. Up to 128 TB of internal storage across 8 SATA bays gives you 3 months of continuous 4K retention for a typical 32-channel deployment — well beyond most compliance and insurance requirements.
32-Channel 32 MP Input
Every channel supports cameras up to 32 MP — mix PanoVu, fisheye, ColorVu and 4K+ AcuSense cameras across a single NVR without throttling resolution or frame rate.
128 TB Storage Capacity
Eight internal SATA bays accept enterprise-grade surveillance HDDs up to 16 TB each, delivering 3+ months of continuous 4K retention across all 32 cameras.
RAID 0/1/5/6/10 + N+M Hot Spare
Configure full RAID across the 8 SATA bays, plus N+M hot-spare drives that automatically take over if a working drive fails — zero operator intervention, zero footage loss.
Dual HDMI + Dual VGA
Four independent display outputs — HDMI 1 drives a true 8K monitor, HDMI 2 a 4K monitor, plus two independent VGA workstations. Perfect for multi-operator 24/7 control rooms.
320 Mbps Incoming Bandwidth
Comfortably runs all 32 channels at full 4K H.265+ simultaneously — generous bandwidth headroom per camera, so you can fit higher-bitrate streams without compromise.
ANPR, People Counting & Fisheye
Native support for specialty cameras — ANPR for entry/exit gates, people counting for retail or building occupancy, and fisheye / panoramic for wide-area coverage.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the M8 and the DS-9632NI-M16?
Same 32 channels, same 320 Mbps bandwidth. The M16 has double the SATA bays (16 vs 8) and double the maximum storage (256 TB vs 128 TB), in a slightly taller 3U chassis. Choose the M8 for normal retention needs and tight rack space; choose the M16 if you need 6–12 months of 4K retention.
Why choose this over a PoE NVR like the DS-7732NI-M4/24P?
The DS-7732NI-M4/24P has 24 built-in PoE ports, which is ideal for greenfield small-to-medium sites. The DS-9632NI-M8 has no PoE but offers 8 SATA bays (vs 4), RAID + N+M hot spare, dual HDMI + dual VGA, dual Ethernet and an enterprise 2U chassis — better for sites that already have managed PoE switches and need real enterprise features.
Is there a redundant-power version available?
Yes — the DS-9632NI-M8/R has dual hot-swappable PSUs for sites where power redundancy is mandatory (data centres, critical infrastructure, government). Contact our Australian team if you need the /R variant.
Does it come with hard drives?
The recorder ships as a chassis only. CCTV Guru offers pre-fitted enterprise surveillance drives from 8 TB up to 16 TB per bay — choose your RAID-ready configuration at checkout.
What RAID levels are supported?
RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10 are all supported across the 8 SATA bays, plus N+M hot spare. For most enterprise deployments we recommend RAID 5 (single drive redundancy) or RAID 6 (dual drive redundancy).
Do you ship to my city?
We ship Australia-wide from our local warehouse — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra and Darwin — with most metro orders arriving in 1–3 business days. Larger enterprise orders shipped by carrier with tracking and signature.
