§ 01Overview

What the DS-7608NXI-I2-8P-VPRO 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, made for Australian sites that want smart search without a large back-end recorder.

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.

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. This unit is supplied without a hard drive, so you choose the capacity to suit your retention.

§ 04Why choose this

Built for the way you actually use the DS-7608NXI-I2-8P-VPRO

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 the two run in parallel rather than competing.

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.

Pick your own drive

The recorder ships without a hard drive, so you fit surveillance-rated storage sized to your retention period, up to 20TB per bay.

§ 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.

Schools and clinics

Use natural-language search to review incidents at entries, corridors and reception.
