HIKVISION DS-7604NXI-K1/4P(D) (4 CHANNELS, 12 MP, 4 PoE) - IP VIDEO RECORDER

The same 12 MP detail, but with built-in PoE ports

DS-7604NXI-K1/4P(D) is a version of the DS-7604NXI-K1(D) recorder with 4 built-in PoE ports added. The same recording up to 12 MP per channel and 4K output, but cameras connect directly to the recorder with no separate switch or power adapters.

Where this recorder is actually used

The same 240×320×48 mm housing fits well for a new system of 4 IP cameras where there's no existing network infrastructure with PoE — the recorder itself provides both power and data for each camera.

What problem this recorder actually solves

The version without PoE requires a separate switch or individual power adapters for each of the 4 cameras. DS-7604NXI-K1/4P(D) solves this with built-in ports: one Ethernet cable to each camera instead of a cable plus a separate power source.

12 MP recording and thrown-object detection

The same high level of detail — 12 MP per channel — is complemented by a specific function detecting objects thrown from a building's windows, useful for apartment sites.

Face recognition and perimeter protection

Built-in face recognition and perimeter protection (intrusion detection) add basic analytics with no need for separate software or a server-side analytics system.

48V power to support PoE

The recorder runs on a 48V/1.35A source — higher than the typical 12V in the non-PoE version, since this power supplies both the recorder itself and energy for all connected cameras.

When to pick the PoE version over the base one

If a system is being built from scratch with no existing network infrastructure, the PoE version saves on a separate switch and simplifies installation — especially for 4 cameras located compactly close to each other.

Perimeter protection at the base level

The perimeter protection function (intrusion detection) works even in this base-tier model with no overpay for a higher lineup — an alert fires when someone crosses a defined zone in frame.

Extended network protocols

Support for TCP/IP, DHCP, Hik-Connect, DNS, DDNS, NTP, SADP, SMTP, and UPnP provides flexible connection to an existing network with no need to manually configure every setting separately.

Practical savings on installation and equipment

A separate PoE switch or four individual power adapters cost extra money and need separate installation. Built-in ports remove that cost at once — a recorder and camera power source in one device.

A practical use case

A typical scenario is an apartment building's entrance area with a new 4-camera IP system, where both maximum detail and simple installation with no separate switch matter.

H.265+ format saves disk space

H.265+ support cuts the load on the HDD and network at the same 12 MP recording quality, extending archive retention on the same drive.

Who this recorder is for

DS-7604NXI-K1/4P(D) is the pick for an owner who needs maximum 12 MP detail on 4 channels with built-in PoE power for cameras.
