HikVision 8 Channel 5MP 1U H.265 AcuSense POC DVR
Summary
The Hikvision iDS-7208HUHI-M2/PXT is an advanced 8-channel AcuSense Power over Coax (PoC) DVR that brings AI-powered video surveillance to small and medium-sized installations. This 1U rack-mountable device combines traditional analog camera support with modern IP camera integration, offering flexible deployment options for diverse security requirements.
Built on deep learning algorithms, this DVR delivers intelligent features including facial recognition on up to 4 channels and advanced perimeter protection across 8 channels. The AcuSense technology significantly reduces false alarms by accurately distinguishing between humans, vehicles, and other objects. With support for up to 8MP recording resolution and efficient H.265 Pro+ compression, the system balances high-quality footage with optimized storage utilization.
The device supports five signal types (HDTVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS/IP) adaptively, making it compatible with a wide range of existing camera infrastructure while providing a pathway to IP-based systems. With PoC capability, the DVR can power compatible Hikvision cameras through the same coaxial cable used for video transmission, simplifying installation and reducing cabling costs.

FAQs
What is the difference between AT and AF mode for PoC cameras?
AT and AF modes distinguish the power level of PoC cameras. AT mode supports cameras with maximum operating power of 10W, while AF mode supports cameras up to 6W. This 8-channel PoC device can support 8 AT cameras simultaneously. These modes are Hikvision-specific and not related to IEEE 802.3 IP standards.
How many IP cameras can be connected to this DVR?
The iDS-7208HUHI-M2/PXT supports up to 16 IP camera inputs, with each channel capable of handling up to 8MP resolution. This is in addition to the 8 analog channels, providing flexibility in system design and camera deployment.
What video formats and resolutions does this DVR support?
The DVR adaptively supports five signal types: HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI, CVBS (analog), and IP cameras. It can record at resolutions up to 8MP, with various frame rates depending on resolution: 8MP at 8fps, 3K at 12fps, 5MP at 12fps, 4MP at 15fps, and standard resolutions like 1080p and 720p at 25/30fps.
What are the facial recognition capabilities of this DVR?
The DVR supports up to 4-channel facial recognition on analog cameras using advanced model processing. It can maintain up to 16 face picture libraries, and the libraries are backed up in both HDD and flash memory to prevent data loss. The system supports face picture detection, capture, comparison, and search functions.
How does Motion Detection 2.0 differ from standard motion detection?
Motion Detection 2.0 uses deep learning algorithms and is enabled by default on all analog channels. It can intelligently classify humans and vehicles, significantly reducing false alarms caused by objects like leaves, lights, or animals. The system also supports quick search by object type or event, making forensic review much more efficient.
What storage capacity does this DVR support?
The DVR features 2 SATA interfaces, each supporting hard drives up to 12TB capacity, for a total maximum storage of 24TB. The efficient H.265 Pro+ compression helps maximize storage utilization while maintaining video quality.
Can this DVR be accessed remotely?
Yes, the DVR supports up to 64 simultaneous remote connections and includes support for Hik-Connect cloud service and DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) for easy remote access. It also features configurable output bandwidth limits to manage network usage.
What is perimeter protection and how many channels support it?
Perimeter protection is an AI-powered feature that uses deep learning to detect intrusions across virtual boundaries or within defined regions. This DVR supports perimeter protection on up to 8 channels when using the advanced model on analog cameras, with human and vehicle classification to minimize false positives.
