    Code: NVR DS-7604NXI-K1

    Hikvision DS-7604NXI-K1 – a 4-channel AcuSense NVR for a small system. Cameras up to 12 MP, 40 Mbps bandwidth, one drive up to 10 TB, 4K HDMI and the Hik-Connect app.

  • Network video recorder (NVR) | 4 channels | 4K | 1 HDD up to 10 TB | H.265+ | AcuSense | Hikvision DS-7604NXI-K1

    The Hikvision DS-7604NXI-K1 is a 4-channel network video recorder for IP cameras. It is the smallest K-series AcuSense model in our range, intended for a home, small office or shop where up to 4 cameras are enough.

    Key point:
    It is the cheapest way to get a professional Hikvision recording platform with ONVIF, Hik-Connect and 4K output instead of a consumer Wi-Fi kit. Four 4 MP cameras with H.265+ fit into 40 Mbps with headroom, and a single 4 TB drive usually holds several weeks of footage. Human and vehicle analysis by the NVR runs on 1 channel – use it for the most important camera (e.g. at the gate).
    Channels
    4 IP, up to 12 MP
    Bandwidth
    40 Mbps incoming
    Storage
    1 SATA up to 10 TB
    Outputs
    HDMI 4K + VGA

    Connectivity and integration

    • RJ-45 Ethernet 10/100/1000 Mbps – Cameras connect via a PoE switch on the local network; the same port is used for remote access.
    • Hik-Connect app – Live view, recordings and notifications on your phone (iOS / Android).
    • ONVIF Profile S/G and ISAPI – ONVIF cameras from other brands can be added; check the specific model's compatibility.
    • 4K HDMI and VGA – HDMI up to 3840 × 2160 / 30 Hz, VGA up to 1920 × 1080 / 60 Hz – a monitor or TV connects directly.

    How it works

    Fit a SATA drive (up to 10 TB), connect the NVR to the router or switch serving the cameras and to a monitor or TV via HDMI.

    The NVR records up to 4 camera streams (up to 40 Mbps total) in H.265+. Human and vehicle recognition runs on the selected channel so that notifications cover only relevant events.

    The result is a small but professional system: video on the TV, an archive on the drive and notifications on your phone via Hik-Connect.

    Why choose the DS-7604NXI-K1?
    A professional Hikvision K-series platform for 4 cameras at a low price – easy to move to a larger NVR later within the same Hik-Connect account.

    Key features

    • 4 channels up to 12 MP – suits 4K cameras as long as the total stays within 40 Mbps.
    • Human and vehicle recognition – by the NVR on 1 channel, fewer false alarms.
    • H.265+ – up to 75 % smaller recordings according to the manufacturer, longer archive.
    • 4K HDMI output – video directly on a TV or monitor.
    • Hik-Connect – remote viewing and notifications without a static IP address.
    • USB export – quickly hand over a clip to the police or insurer.

    How does it differ from similar models?

    • Hikvision DS-7608NXI-K1/8P – 8 channels and 8 PoE ports – cameras powered directly from the NVR; more than twice the price.
    • Hikvision DS-7608NXI-K1(D)/Alarm4+1 – 8 channels, 80 Mbps, drive up to 16 TB and alarm I/O 4/1.
    • IMOU NVR1104HS-W-S2 – 4-channel Wi-Fi NVR for homes with IMOU Life – cheaper, but without AcuSense and aimed at IMOU Wi-Fi cameras.
    • Dahua NVR4104HS-4KS3 – 4-channel Dahua NVR in a similar price class – the choice if the system is built in the Dahua / DMSS ecosystem.

    Where is it used?

    • Private house or country home
    • Flat with stairwell and parking space
    • Small office
    • Barber shop or beauty salon
    • Kiosk or small shop
    • Garage or workshop

    Use by need

    For a home owner who wants 2–4 cameras.
    A professional NVR with TV output and a phone app for less than 8-channel models.
    For a small barber shop owner.
    A camera at the till and the entrance – archive on the drive, review on the phone after hours.
    For an installer who needs a budget Hikvision solution.
    ONVIF and ISAPI allow existing cameras to be integrated and the system expanded later.

    Practical use

    If a country home needs the gate, yard and outbuilding covered by three 4 MP cameras, connect them through a 4-port PoE switch to the DS-7604NXI-K1, fit a 4 TB drive and enable human and vehicle recognition on the gate camera. Phone notifications arrive only when a person or car appears at the gate, and the fourth channel stays free.

    Pros

    • The cheapest AcuSense NVR in the range
    • Cameras up to 12 MP, 4K HDMI
    • ONVIF Profile S/G and ISAPI
    • Drive up to 10 TB
    • Hik-Connect app
    • Low consumption – ≤ 10 W without HDD

    Cons / limitations

    • Only 4 channels and 40 Mbps – expansion needs a bigger NVR (e.g. DS-7608NXI-K1/8P).
    • No PoE ports – cameras need a PoE switch.
    • Human / vehicle analysis by the NVR on 1 channel only; others need AcuSense cameras.
    • No alarm I/O in this version.

    Safety and installation notes

    • Install the NVR in a dry, ventilated place – leave space for airflow in a cabinet or rack; operating temperature -10…+55 °C.
    • Fit the hard drive only with the power disconnected; choose surveillance-grade HDDs designed for 24/7 operation.
    • Power it from the source specified by the manufacturer (12 VDC, 1.5 A); a UPS and surge protection are recommended – a power cut also stops recording.
    • On first start-up set a strong admin password, enable Hik-Connect only if remote access is needed, and keep the firmware up to date.
    • GDPR: set the retention period to what you really need, restrict access with user rights and mark the monitored area with signs.
    • Use solid-copper CAT5e / CAT6 cable for PoE cameras (Ethernet limit – 100 m) and seal cable entries outdoors.
