§ 01Overview
What the DS-96128NXI-S24R is
The Hikvision DS-96128NXI-S24R is a 128-channel 8K network video recorder with twenty-four drive bays and dual redundant power, made for the most demanding Australian sites such as airports, hospitals and smart-city roll-outs.
It runs AcuSense face recognition, perimeter protection and video structuralization on the recorder, manages up to 64 face libraries holding 300,000 images, and connects up to 128 cameras at resolutions up to 32MP.
Twenty-four SATA bays (up to 20TB each, 480TB total) run RAID 0/1/5/6/10 with N+M hot spare; bandwidth is 1280/1024 Mbps and steps down to 640/512 Mbps in RAID mode.
Four HDMI and two VGA outputs drive a control-room video wall, with 8K on HDMI 3.
Two redundant power supplies keep it running if one source fails.
It has no built-in PoE, so cameras run from separate switches, and it is supplied without hard drives.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DS-96128NXI-S24R
Always-on power
Dual redundant power supplies mean a single supply or circuit fault will not stop recording, which matters on airports, hospitals and utilities.
Analytics on the recorder
AcuSense face recognition, perimeter protection and video structuralization run on the NVR, adding intelligence across a large, mixed camera fleet.
Honest bandwidth figures
Incoming bandwidth is 1280 Mbps, dropping to 640 Mbps in RAID mode, so you can size a 128-camera load without surprises.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Airports and transport
Continuous, redundant recording across terminals, aprons and platforms with watch-list face alerts.
Hospitals and healthcare
Protect entries, wards, car parks and pharmacies with high-uptime storage and rapid incident search.
Smart-city projects
Aggregate street, junction and public-space cameras with perimeter analytics and large face libraries.
Utilities and data centres
RAID plus dual power keep footage intact on power stations, substations and high-security facilities.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
In the box
DS-96128NXI-S24R recorder, power cables, mouse and rack-mount hardware. Hard drives are not included.
Storage and RAID
Fit up to twenty-four surveillance or enterprise drives (up to 20TB each), then configure RAID 0/1/5/6/10 or N+M hot spare. Plan camera bitrates around the RAID-mode bandwidth.
Redundant power
Connect both power supplies to separate circuits where possible, so the recorder stays up if one source is lost.
Powering cameras
No built-in PoE is provided; power cameras from separate switches and add them over the four 2.5GbE ports. Install in a 3U rack with strong airflow.
§ 07Questions
Frequently asked about the DS-96128NXI-S24R
Q.01
Does the DS-96128NXI-S24R include hard drives?
No. It ships with no drives. Populate up to twenty-four SATA bays with drives of up to 20TB each, for as much as 480TB.
Q.02
Does it have built-in PoE?
No. It is a back-end recorder, so cameras are powered from separate switches and added over the four 2.5GbE ports.
Q.03
How is it different from the S16R?
The S24R has 24 drive bays (versus 16) and dual redundant power supplies, for more storage and higher uptime.
Q.04
How many cameras does it support?
Up to 128 IP cameras at resolutions up to 32MP.
Q.05
What analytics run on the NVR?
On-NVR AcuSense provides face recognition, perimeter protection and video structuralization, with up to 64 face libraries and 300,000 images.
Q.06
Why list two bandwidth figures?
Incoming bandwidth is 1280 Mbps, dropping to 640 Mbps in RAID mode, so size your camera bitrates around the RAID figure when RAID is used.
Q.07
Which output gives 8K?
HDMI 3 outputs up to 8K, while the other HDMI and VGA outputs drive additional monitors.
Q.08
What happens if a power supply fails?
With dual redundant supplies, the recorder keeps running on the second supply, ideally fed from a separate circuit.
§ 09Bundles
Recommended packages
Build the storage array
Populate the 24 bays with drives such as a 10TB drive, 8TB drive or 6TB drive to reach your retention target.
Power your cameras
With no built-in PoE, power the camera fleet from switches such as the Dahua 18-port managed PoE switch.
Fewer bays needed?
If 480TB is more than you need, the DS-96128NXI-S16R runs the same platform with 16 bays.
Cameras
Pair with Hikvision AcuSense, ANPR and people-counting cameras to drive the on-board analytics.
