FAQ
What is AcuSense technology and how does it benefit my security system?
AcuSense is Hikvision’s advanced AI technology that uses deep learning algorithms to distinguish between humans, vehicles, and other objects. This significantly reduces false alarms caused by animals, leaves, or other non-threatening movements, allowing you to focus on genuine security events and reducing monitoring costs.
How many cameras can this NVR support and what resolutions are compatible?
The DS-7608NXI-K1/8P(D) supports up to 8 IP cameras through its built-in PoE ports. It can handle various resolutions from CIF up to 12MP, with flexible decoding capabilities including 2-channel at 12MP, 4-channel at 8MP, 8-channel at 4MP, or 16-channel at 1080p depending on your configuration needs.
Does this NVR require separate power supplies for the cameras?
No, this NVR features 8 built-in Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports that provide both data connection and power to compatible IP cameras through a single network cable. The total PoE power budget is 75W, conforming to IEEE 802.3af/at standards.
What storage options are available and how much recording time can I expect?
The NVR supports up to one SATA hard drive with a maximum capacity of 16TB. Recording time depends on factors such as resolution, frame rate, compression settings, and the number of active cameras. The H.265+ compression can reduce storage requirements by up to 75% compared to standard H.264.
Can I access and manage this NVR remotely?
Yes, the NVR supports remote access through Hik-Connect cloud service for easy network management. It also supports up to 128 remote connections and is compatible with ONVIF Profile S/G, SDK, and ISAPI for integration with third-party systems.
What are the differences between the standard model and the Alarm4+1 variant?
The DS-7608NXI-K1/8P(D)/Alarm4+1 model includes additional alarm input and output capabilities with 4 alarm inputs and 1 alarm output, while the standard DS-7608NXI-K1/8P(D) model focuses purely on video recording and PoE functionality without physical alarm connections.
