Hikvision DS-7204HGHI-M1/T 4-ch 1080p Lite 1U H.265 DVR
Four Channel CCTV Surveillance
The Hikvision DS-7204HGHI-M1/T supports up to four analogue surveillance cameras through its BNC video inputs. This allows users to monitor entrances, reception areas, retail counters, corridors and residential compounds from one recording system.
1080p Lite Recording
The DVR supports 1080p Lite recording, providing an economical recording option for compatible HD analogue cameras. 1080p Lite uses a reduced horizontal recording resolution compared with full 1920 × 1080 Full HD, helping balance image quality with storage efficiency.
H.265 Pro+ Video Compression
Hikvision’s H.265 Pro+ compression technology helps reduce video storage requirements while maintaining useful surveillance image quality. This allows more efficient use of installed surveillance hard drives, particularly for continuous recording.
Multiple Camera Format Compatibility
The recorder supports HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI and conventional CVBS analogue camera signals. This flexibility makes it useful for replacing older DVRs without necessarily replacing all existing compatible cameras.
Motion Detection and Event Recording
Motion detection allows the DVR to identify movement within configured surveillance areas. Users can configure recording schedules and review footage associated with detected activity.
HDMI and VGA Video Outputs
The DVR provides HDMI and VGA connections for local viewing through compatible monitors. Security operators can monitor live camera feeds, review recordings and manage system settings.
Hik-Connect Remote Monitoring
When connected to the internet and configured correctly, the DVR supports remote monitoring through Hikvision’s compatible applications. Authorized users can view live footage and access recordings from supported devices.
Internal SATA Hard Drive Storage
The recorder includes a SATA interface for installing a compatible surveillance-grade hard drive. The storage capacity and recording duration depend on the installed hard drive, video settings and recording schedule.
Motion Detection 2.0 with Human and Vehicle Classification
The DS-7204HGHI-M1/T supports Motion Detection 2.0 across all four analogue channels. Using deep learning based analysis, it distinguishes human and vehicle movement from irrelevant activity such as moving leaves and changes in lighting. Smart search helps users locate recordings by event or object type.
