Hikvision DS-7204HGHI-M1 4-Channel Turbo HD DVR – H.265 Pro+ – HDTVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS/IP – 1U

The Hikvision DS-7204HGHI-M1 is a compact 4-channel Turbo HD DVR designed for homes, shops, offices, warehouses and other small-to-medium surveillance installations. It provides four analogue camera inputs while also supporting different video technologies, including HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI, CVBS and IP, making it a flexible choice for both new installations and CCTV upgrades.

The DVR uses H.265 Pro+ video compression to improve recording efficiency and reduce the amount of storage and network bandwidth required. It supports 1080p Lite encoding and can handle up to five IP camera inputs, with IP camera access up to 2 MP depending on the configuration. This makes the recorder suitable for installations where a mixture of analogue HD and compatible network cameras may be required.

A major advantage of the DS-7204HGHI-M1 is its Motion Detection 2.0 capability. Deep-learning technology can classify detected movement as human or vehicle activity, helping reduce unnecessary motion events caused by objects such as leaves, changing lighting or other non-relevant movement. This makes reviewing recorded footage more efficient.

For storage, the DVR provides one SATA interface supporting a hard drive of up to 4TB according to the Get4Less/manufacturer specification for this model. The DVR itself does not include an HDD unless specifically stated in the seller's package. It also provides HDMI and VGA outputs, two USB 2.0 ports and a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface for network connectivity.

IMPORTANT HDD INFORMATION

This is the DVR recorder only. A hard disk drive is not assumed to be included.

A surveillance-rated HDD should be installed separately if continuous video recording is required.

IMPORTANT CAMERA COMPATIBILITY NOTE

The DS-7204HGHI-M1 is not limited to 720p cameras. It supports multiple analogue video formats and compatible IP cameras. Its exact recording capability depends on the camera type, resolution and configuration.
