Hikvision DS-7608NXI-K2/8P — 8-Channel PoE AcuSense 4K NVR
If you’re tired of juggling extra power supplies and digging through hours of footage, this NVR is built to simplify both the install and the day-to-day. The DS-7608NXI-K2/8P combines an 8-channel recorder with 8 built-in PoE ports, so your cameras can connect and power up with a single cable. And with AcuSense analytics like Motion Detection 2.0 and perimeter protection, it’s designed to help you focus on real events—not constant false alarms. The result is a system that feels easier to manage, faster to review, and more dependable when you need proof.
Why buyers choose this model
- They want a cleaner, faster camera install with built-in PoE (no extra injectors or power bricks for each camera).
- They want smarter event filtering (human/vehicle recognition support) to reduce false alarms and wasted time.
- They want 4K HDMI local display support and strong multi-camera performance for a professional setup.
- They need scalable storage with two SATA bays (up to 10 TB per drive) for longer retention.

What this helps you avoid
If you’ve ever installed a system where every camera needed its own power adapter, you already know how messy and time-consuming that gets—especially when something fails. Built-in PoE helps you avoid that clutter and the “which plug belongs to which camera?” headache. Then there’s the bigger pain: constant false alerts that train you to ignore notifications. With Motion Detection 2.0 support (including human/vehicle recognition workflows), the goal is fewer distractions and faster confidence when something real happens. And when you do need to review footage, strong decoding options and clear local display outputs help you get to answers quicker—without turning investigation into an all-night project.
What’s in the box
- The manufacturer datasheet does not list included accessories or package contents.
- The datasheet specifies weight and power details “without HDD,” and it supports two SATA drives—so storage drives are separate components you install.
- For accuracy, confirm exact included items (cables, mouse, mounting hardware, documentation) with your seller or purchase order.

Technical Specifications
Hikvision DS-7608NXI-K2/8P — 8-ch PoE 1U K Series AcuSense 4K NVR
If you want an NVR that’s simple to deploy but still “smart” enough to cut the noise, the DS-7608NXI-K2/8P is built for exactly that. With 8 built-in PoE ports, you can connect compatible IP cameras and power them from the recorder—fewer adapters, fewer installation headaches. And with AcuSense + Motion Detection 2.0, it’s designed to help reduce false alarms (so you’re not chasing shadows) while keeping playback and search faster when you actually need evidence.
Key Features
- Up to 8-ch IP camera inputs + 8 PoE interfaces — plug & play style installs that keep wiring clean and time-to-live faster.
- H.265+/H.265/H.264+/H.264 support — more efficient storage so you can keep video longer without constantly expanding drives.
- Up to 80 Mbps incoming bandwidth — handles multiple cameras smoothly for reliable recording performance.
- 4K HDMI output + independent HDMI/VGA — crisp local viewing for live monitoring and review on higher-res displays.
- AcuSense + Motion Detection 2.0 — helps minimize manual effort and security costs by reducing false alarms and improving search/playback efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
This NVR supports up to 8 IP camera channels, which aligns with its built-in 8 PoE ports. Each camera can be connected directly to the recorder for both power and data, simplifying installation. The system is designed to handle resolutions up to 12 MP per channel, depending on decoding configuration. This makes it suitable for small to mid-sized surveillance systems that need high image quality.
Yes, the DS-7608NXI-K2/8P includes 8 built-in PoE ports that comply with IEEE 802.3af/at standards. These ports can deliver a total PoE power budget of up to 80 W. This allows compatible IP cameras to receive power and network connectivity through a single Ethernet cable. As a result, installation is faster and requires fewer external power adapters.
The recorder supports H.265+, H.265, H.264+, and H.264 video compression formats. These options allow flexibility when pairing the NVR with different camera models. Using H.265+ or H.265 helps reduce storage usage while maintaining video quality. This means longer retention times on the same hard drive capacity.
The NVR supports recording resolutions up to 12 MP per channel. With AI functions enabled, it can decode up to 1 channel at 12 MP, 2 channels at 8 MP, or 8 channels at 1080p at 30 fps. When AI functions are disabled, decoding capacity increases for multi-channel playback. This flexibility allows users to balance advanced analytics with playback performance.
Yes, the DS-7608NXI-K2/8P supports facial recognition, perimeter protection, and Motion Detection 2.0. Facial recognition includes face capture, face picture search, and face comparison. The system can store up to 20,000 face images across multiple libraries. However, certain AI functions cannot be enabled at the same time, as noted in the datasheet.
This NVR includes one HDMI output and one VGA output with independent operation. The HDMI output supports up to 4K resolution at 30 Hz. The VGA output supports resolutions up to 1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz. This allows flexible monitor setups for live view and playback.
The unit includes two SATA interfaces for internal hard drives. Each SATA interface supports up to 10 TB, allowing a total internal capacity of up to 20 TB. Hard drives are not included and must be installed separately. This capacity supports long-term recording for multi-camera systems.
Yes, the NVR supports up to 128 remote connections. It is compatible with ONVIF (Profile S and G), ISAPI, and SDK integrations. Supported network protocols include TCP/IP, DHCP, IPv4/IPv6, RTSP, HTTP, and HTTPS. This makes it suitable for both local and remote monitoring environments.
The DS-7608NXI-K2/8P is designed to operate in temperatures from -10 °C to 55 °C (14 °F to 131 °F). It supports a working humidity range of 10% to 90%. These specifications make it suitable for most indoor commercial environments. Proper ventilation is recommended, especially when hard drives are installed.
The NVR measures 385 mm × 315 mm × 52 mm (15.2 × 12.4 × 2.0 inches). Its weight is up to 3 kg (6.6 lb) without hard drives installed. The compact 1U design makes it suitable for rack or shelf installations. This form factor helps save space in security racks or control rooms.
