§ 01Overview
What the DS-7608NI-M2/8P is
The Hikvision DS-7608NI-M2/8P is a compact 8-channel M-Series recorder that comes ready to use with a 6TB surveillance hard drive already fitted.
Its eight built-in PoE ports power and connect up to eight IP cameras over a single network cable each, so a full eight-camera system runs from one tidy unit without a separate switch or plug-packs, and it records cameras at resolutions up to 32MP.
Despite its size it is a capable recorder: 128 Mbps of incoming bandwidth, Smart H.265+ compression to stretch storage, and 8K output over HDMI alongside a 1080p VGA feed for a second screen.
Paired with Hikvision AcuSense cameras it classifies movement as a person or vehicle, so motion alerts focus on what matters rather than every passing shadow, and it works with the current generation of AcuSense, ColorVu and TandemVu cameras.
Storage is generous from the start.
The included 6TB drive gives weeks of recording for a typical eight-camera home or small-business system, and a second SATA bay is free so you can add another drive as the system grows.
The eight PoE ports share up to 120 W in total, which suits typical Hikvision cameras; if every camera is a high-draw dual-light or motorised model running its light at night, check the combined draw.
It is genuine Australian Hikvision stock with local warranty and support, viewed remotely on the free Hik-Connect app.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DS-7608NI-M2/8P
Eight cameras, one tidy box
Eight built-in PoE ports power and connect your cameras over single cables, so a full system runs from one compact 1U unit with no extra switch.
Smart alerts with AcuSense
Paired with AcuSense cameras it filters motion to people and vehicles, cutting nuisance alerts and making footage easy to search.
Room to grow
Records up to 32MP and has a free second SATA bay, so the recorder keeps up as you add higher-resolution cameras or more storage.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Family homes
Cover the front door, driveway, yard and a couple of interior points with up to eight cameras and people-and-vehicle alerts, recording from day one.
Small business and retail
Record entries, the till area and a stockroom in high resolution, with weeks of storage on the included drive.
Replacing an older recorder
Upgrade an eight-camera site to 32MP support and AcuSense filtering with storage already included.
Remote-watched properties
View all eight channels from anywhere on Hik-Connect, with smart alerts on human and vehicle events.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What's in the box
One DS-7608NI-M2/8P recorder with a 6TB surveillance hard drive fitted, power adaptor and mouse. Cameras, network cable and a monitor are not included.
Installation requirements
Run Cat5e or Cat6 from the eight PoE ports to each camera (keep runs within about 100 m), connect the NVR to a monitor by HDMI and to your router for remote access, then add it to Hik-Connect. The 6TB drive is pre-fitted; add a second SATA drive if you want more storage. For high-draw cameras, check the 120 W PoE budget and use a separate injector where needed.
§ 07Questions
Frequently asked about the DS-7608NI-M2/8P
Q.01
Does the DS-7608NI-M2/8P come with a hard drive?
Yes. It is supplied with a 6TB surveillance-grade hard drive already fitted, so it records out of the box. It has two SATA bays, so the second bay is free if you want to add more storage later.
Q.02
How many cameras can it run and how are they powered?
It is an 8-channel recorder with eight built-in PoE ports, so it powers and connects up to eight IP cameras directly over one network cable each, with no separate switch or power supplies needed.
Q.03
Will the PoE budget power eight cameras at night?
The eight ports share up to 120 W in total. That is comfortable for typical Hikvision turrets and bullets at around 5 to 12 W each. It can be tight if every camera is a high-draw dual-light or motorised model running its light at full power after dark, so check the combined draw or power the heaviest cameras from a separate injector.
Q.04
What camera resolution does it record?
It records IP cameras up to 32MP and outputs to a monitor at up to 8K over HDMI, with a simultaneous 1080p VGA output for a second screen.
Q.05
Does it do people and vehicle detection?
Yes, when paired with Hikvision AcuSense cameras. The AcuSense camera classifies movement as a person or vehicle and the recorder logs and alerts on those events, so you can filter out wind-blown trees, rain and shadows and search recordings by people or vehicles.
Q.06
How long will 6TB record for?
It depends on the number of cameras, their resolution and frame rate, and whether you record continuously or on motion. With Smart H.265+ and motion recording, 6TB typically holds several weeks from eight cameras; continuous high-resolution recording is shorter. Add a second drive to extend it.
Q.07
Can I view it on my phone?
Yes. Connect the NVR to your router and add it to the free Hik-Connect app to watch live and play back recordings from a phone or tablet, at home or away.
Q.08
Is this genuine Australian Hikvision stock?
Yes. It is supplied as genuine Australian Hikvision stock with Australian firmware, local warranty and support.
§ 09Bundles
Recommended packages
Add AcuSense cameras
Fill the eight channels with Hikvision AcuSense cameras such as the 8MP DS-2CD2086G2-I bullet or the 8MP DS-2CD2T86G2H-2I bullet for people-and-vehicle alerts.
Add more storage
A second SATA bay is free — add a surveillance drive such as a 6TB or 8TB to extend recording time.
Need more channels?
For sixteen cameras with built-in PoE, step up to the DS-7616NI-M2/16P, also supplied with a hard drive.
Smaller system?
For a four-camera site, compare the 4-channel DS-7604NI-M1/4P.
