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.

Hikvision AcuSense — Installation & Operation Guide
Engineered for Australian enterprise & multi-site projects
Every M Series NVR sold by CCTV Guru ships from our Australian warehouse with local stock, local firmware, and full Australian Hikvision warranty. The DS-9664NI-M8 operates reliably from −10 °C to 55 °C, accepts standard 100–240 V AC mains, ships with rack-mount ears for a standard 19" rack, and is purpose-built to handle the heat, humidity and dust typical of Australian commercial, industrial and outdoor-adjacent sites.
Hik-Connect & Hik-Central
Free remote viewing on Hik-Connect, or integrate into a Hik-Central Pro VMS for centralised management across multiple sites and multiple NVRs.
ONVIF Compatible
Pairs with third-party ONVIF cameras as well as the full Hikvision IP range, giving you flexibility for hybrid and multi-vendor enterprise sites.
Dual Gigabit Ethernet
Two independent self-adaptive Ethernet ports for network redundancy, load balancing or dual-network segregation (camera VLAN vs viewing VLAN).
Smart Playback & Search
Search recordings across all 64 channels by face, human, vehicle, line-crossing or intrusion event — days of footage reviewed in seconds.

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.
