§ 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

Search by description

AcuSeek lets you type what you are looking for, such as a person in a blue shirt, instead of scrubbing through hours of footage on 8 cameras.

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.

04

Expanding storage

Add a second surveillance-rated SATA drive (up to 20TB) alongside the included 4TB drive for longer retention.

§ 07Questions

Frequently asked about the DS-7608NXI-I2-8P-VPRO-4TB

Q.01

What does V-PRO and AcuSeek mean on this NVR?

V-PRO is Hikvision's high-end platform with AcuSeek and AcuSearch. AcuSeek lets you search recordings by plain-language description, such as a person in a red jacket, and AcuSearch finds every appearance of a chosen target.
Q.02

Does the DS-7608NXI-I2/8P/VPRO include a hard drive?

Yes. A 4TB surveillance drive is included. There are two SATA bays in total, accepting drives up to 20TB each for up to 40TB.
Q.03

How many cameras and PoE ports does it have?

It records up to 8 IP cameras and has 8 built-in PoE ports, so each camera gets power and data over one cable.
Q.04

Do I need special cameras for AcuSeek to work?

AcuSeek and AcuSearch model up to 300,000 targets a day when paired with Hikvision AcuSense cameras that have AcuSearch enabled. With other cameras the NVR still records, but smart search depends on AcuSense models.
Q.05

What resolution cameras does it support?

It records resolutions up to 32MP, alongside standard 4K and lower-resolution cameras.
Q.06

Is there a monthly fee for the AI features?

No. All analytics run locally on the recorder, with no subscription and no need for cloud storage.
Q.07

What video outputs does it have?

Independent 4K HDMI and 1080p VGA outputs, so you can run two monitors at once.
Q.08

Can I add more storage later?

Yes. A second SATA bay is free, so you can add another surveillance-rated drive up to 20TB alongside the included 4TB drive.

§ 09Bundles

Recommended packages

01

Expand storage
