HIKVISION DS-7604NXI-K1(D) (4 CHANNELS, 12 MP, 4K) - IP VIDEO RECORDER
Description Hikvision DS-7604NXI-K1(D)
12 MP and 4K output on just 4 channels
DS-7604NXI-K1(D) supports recording up to 12 MP per channel and video output at up to 3840×2160 (4K) resolution — detail usually reserved for higher-end 8-channel models, available here in a compact 4-channel variant with no built-in PoE.
Where this recorder is actually used
A housing measuring 240×320×48 mm fits well for a small site with a few spots where maximum detail per camera matters more than a large number of simultaneous channels.
What problem this recorder actually solves
Many entry-level 4-channel recorders cap recording resolution at 4-5 MP, insufficient for some modern cameras with maximum detail. DS-7604NXI-K1(D) solves this by supporting 12 MP per channel — a camera with that resolution records with no loss of detail.
Detection of objects thrown from windows
A specific analytics function detects objects thrown from a building's windows — a rare specialized capability, useful specifically for apartment buildings or sites where that's a real problem, not a typical function in most recorders.
Face recognition and perimeter protection
Built-in face recognition complements perimeter protection (intrusion detection) — an analytics set usually available only in pricier models.
1 HDD up to 16 TB and network protocols
Support for one hard drive up to 16 TB allows storing months of archive even at high recording resolution. Hik-Connect, DDNS, and other network protocol support provides flexible remote access.
When to pick this model over the PoE version
If a site already has network infrastructure with a switch, or cameras need power through separate adapters (for instance, cameras far from the recorder), the lack of built-in PoE here isn't a downside — it's simply a different power configuration.
An operating range for non-residential spaces
A -10°C to +55°C range allows installing the recorder in a utility room or basement with no additional heating — placement flexibility for sites with no classic server room.
A practical use case
A typical scenario is an apartment building's entrance area, where it matters to clearly see the face of everyone entering while also capturing objects that might get thrown from upper-floor windows — exactly the combination this model is built for.
Local mouse control alongside network access
Besides remote network access, the recorder supports on-site mouse control — useful for a concierge or guard watching the entrance directly from a post.
H.265+ compression format
H.265+ support lets the recorder handle that same 12 MP without a proportional jump in disk and network load — the archive lasts longer on the same HDD, and remote viewing stays smooth even over a modest connection.
Who this recorder is for
DS-7604NXI-K1(D) is the pick for an owner who needs maximum detail on a small number of channels, with no built-in PoE.
We can advise whether you specifically need PoE in the recorder, or whether separate camera power is enough — tell us about your existing infrastructure and the distance to your cameras, and we'll give a concrete recommendation.
