HIKVISION DS-7604NXI-K1 — 4-Channel AcuSense 4K NVR (Non-PoE)
Overview
The DS-7604NXI-K1 is a compact 1U-form network video recorder offering up to 4 IP-camera inputs and 4K output capability, powered by Hikvision’s AcuSense intelligent analytics. Designed for small to medium-sized installations in South Africa where high resolution, efficient recording and smart analytics matter, this non-PoE version provides flexible integration with external camera power options.
Key Features & Benefits
- Supports up to 4 IP-camera channels for streamlined coverage of smaller sites.
- AcuSense powered intelligent analytics — motion detection 2.0, perimeter protection and human/vehicle classification reduce false alarms.
- Decoding capability up to 1-ch @ 12 MP or 2-ch @ 8 MP or 4-ch @ 4 MP or 8-ch @ 1080p ensures future-proofing and flexibility.
- High definition HDMI output – up to 4K resolution – plus simultaneous VGA output for flexible monitoring setups.
- Efficient H.265+/H.265 compression reduces storage footprint and lowers overall cost of ownership.
- Single SATA interface supports large-capacity HDDs (up to 10 TB) for extended retention and reliable performance.
- Compact and low-power design (consumes ≤10 W without HDD) keeps operating costs down and fits in tight racks or counters.

- Compact server rooms or network cabinets where minimal form-factor and low power draw are essential.
Installation & Commissioning Notes
- Rack or mount in a ventilated environment to maintain HDD lifespan and system stability.
- Confirm external PoE switch or camera power supply is sized correctly since this model does not supply camera power.
- Use latest firmware, change default passwords and configure network access for secure remote monitoring.
- Plan HDD capacity and retention schedule based on number of cameras, resolution and expected daily recording hours.
- Label camera assignments to IP inputs and ports for future maintenance clarity.
