§ 01Overview
What the DS-7608NXI-I2-8P-VPRO-4TB is
The Hikvision DS-7608NXI-I2/8P/VPRO is an 8-channel AI network video recorder with PoE built in and Hikvision's V-PRO analytics, supplied with a 4TB drive so it is ready to record out of the box.
Two dedicated AI engines split the work: one handles face pictures and AcuSearch image search, the other runs AcuSeek natural-language search, so you can find a person or vehicle by description across recorded footage.
It supports face recognition (16 libraries, 50,000 images), ANPR and people counting with compatible cameras, and records up to 32MP.
Note that the recorder's AI modelling of up to 300,000 targets a day relies on Hikvision AcuSense cameras with AcuSearch enabled.
Eight 802.3 af/at PoE ports power and connect cameras over one cable each, HDMI outputs 4K, and two SATA bays accept drives up to 20TB.
A 4TB surveillance drive is included, with a second bay free for more storage.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DS-7608NXI-I2-8P-VPRO-4TB
Two engines, faster results
One AI engine handles faces and AcuSearch image search while the other runs AcuSeek text search, so they work in parallel rather than competing.
Ready to record
A 4TB surveillance drive is included, so the recorder stores footage from day one, with a second bay free for expansion up to 40TB.
PoE built in
Eight 802.3 af/at PoE ports power and connect each camera over one cable, so an 8-camera AI system needs no separate switch.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Retail loss prevention
Find a described shopper or staff member across the day's footage to investigate theft or disputes quickly.
Small business and offices
Add face and behaviour search to an 8-camera site without moving to a large rack NVR.
Car parks and forecourts
Pair with ANPR cameras to log plates and search vehicle movements by description.
Schools and clinics
Use natural-language search to review incidents at entries, corridors and reception.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
In the box
DS-7608NXI-I2/8P/VPRO recorder with a 4TB drive fitted, power adaptor, mouse and network cable.
Connecting cameras
Plug up to 8 cameras into the built-in PoE ports for power and data; the NVR can add them automatically over the network.
AcuSeek and AcuSearch
Search works best with Hikvision AcuSense cameras, which let the recorder model up to 300,000 targets per day for image and text search.
Expanding storage
Add a second surveillance-rated SATA drive (up to 20TB) alongside the included 4TB drive for longer retention.
