AcuSense AI 4-Channel DVR · 4TB IncludediDS-7204HUHI-M2/S — Hikvision AcuSense 4CH 1U DVR with 4TB HDD
The Hikvision iDS-7204HUHI-M2/S is a 4-channel AcuSense 1U DVR built for sharp, intelligent surveillance on a compact footprint. This listing ships with a 4TB surveillance-grade HDD pre-installed, so it is ready to record straight out of the box. The iDS prefix denotes Hikvision's AcuSense deep-learning engine, which classifies human and vehicle targets to dramatically cut false alarms from leaves, rain and small animals.
It records analog footage at up to 8MP lite @ 15fps or 5MP @ 12fps using efficient H.265 Pro+ compression, and accepts 5 signal types adaptively — HDTVI, AHD, CVI, CVBS and IP. With 2 HDD bays and support for up to 8 network (IP) cameras, it scales comfortably for homes and small businesses.

Why Choose the iDS-7204HUHI-M2/S
Ready-to-Record 4TB Kit
Unlike chassis-only recorders, this SKU includes a 4TB surveillance-grade hard drive pre-installed — purpose-built for 24/7 write cycles. Connect your cameras, power on and your system begins recording immediately.
AcuSense Deep-Learning AI
The AcuSense engine performs human and vehicle target classification, separating real intrusions from environmental triggers. The result is fewer nuisance notifications and faster searches for the events that matter.
5-Signal Adaptive Inputs
Each BNC port automatically detects HDTVI, AHD, CVI, CVBS or IP signals, so you can mix camera technologies on one recorder and reuse existing coax runs during an upgrade.
Hybrid IP Expansion
Beyond its 4 analog channels, the DVR connects up to 8 network (IP) cameras, letting you blend high-resolution IP cameras into the same unified interface and recording schedule.
Efficient H.265 Pro+
H.265 Pro+ compression slashes bandwidth and storage demand versus H.264 — stretching that included 4TB drive across far longer retention without sacrificing image quality.
Storage & HDD
This listing ships with a 4TB HDD installed. The two HDD bays support further expansion if you need extended retention or a second drive for redundancy down the track.
