For more information on ANPR please see our Hikvision ANPR setup tutorial.) To summarize the above points, either the -K series or -I series NVR would be a great choice unless you were looking to use above an 8MP camera. If you'd like to see some different resolution's compared please see our post on differences in camera resolutions. Network Interface 1 RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps self-adaptive Ethernet interface;1 RJ-45 10/100 Mbps self-adaptive Ethernet interfaceAnother great factor is that this Hikvision DS-7608NI-K1/8P/4G is compatible with third-party network cameras. Therefore you can replace an existing NVR, without the need of getting in a whole new system for your existing cameras. You can look at our article about the New Version 4 Firmware for Hikvision NVRs if you'd like more information. With a SIM/UIM card slot on the rear panel, a 4G wireless network can be achieved, ideal for temporary or isolated locations where a physical network connection is not possible. The DS-7604NI-K1/8P/8G comes with a SMA Antenna with a 3m cable to improve 4G strength. Decoding Capability AI on: 1-ch@12 MP (30 fps)/2-ch@8 MP (30 fps)/4-ch@4 MP (30 fps)/8-ch@1080p (30 fps)
In the next couple of weeks I'll also be looking at 16 and 32 channel Hikvision NVRs for bigger systems. Network Protocol TCP/IP, DHCP, IPv4, IPv6, DNS, DDNS, NTP, RTSP, SADP, SMTP, SNMP, NFS, iSCSI, ISUP, UPnP™, HTTP, HTTPS The -K and -I series are relatively similar in spec so it can be hard for users to decide which unit is best for their system. In this article we'll hopefully make the decision easier and cover the main differences focusing on: For some users this may be enough of a reason to make the jump from the -K to the -I series. For others, it may not be an issue but it's something we like to mention so that our customers are aware! Incoming Bandwidth and H.265+ - You may be wondering how you're supposed to know whether 80 Mbps worth of incoming bandwidth is enough bandwidth to support your 8 cameras. Below is a guide to roughly how many Mbps are needed by 3MP, 5MP and 8MP cameras from the Hikvision EasyIP 3.0 (G1) Family:
Above all this DS-7608NI-K1/8P/4G NVR has the capacity to hold 1x Hard Disk up to 6TB, you can keep high quality recordings saved for a very long time. Highlighted features: If you're interested in which is the best 4-Channel NVR then please take a look at last weeks article. The HIKVISION DS-7608NI-K1/8P/4G is the New Generation 8MP NVR. Capable of recording up to 8MP IP Cameras with an output resolution of 8MP.
Use the free Hik-connect app to connect your DS-7608NI-K1/8P/4G NVR. The Hik-connect app is designed to work with Hikvision DVRs, NVRs and IP cameras which support Cloud P2P function. To summarize, the DS-7608NI-K2/8P and DS-7608NI-I2/8P are both excellent units and are remarkably similar in spec. Choosing one for your system really comes down to personal preference and we hope that with the above information we have made it a little easier for you to choose one for your system!
More Hikvision Network video recorders (NVRs)
In November 2017 there was a new V4 firmware release for Hikvision NVRs which changed the user interface dramatically. However, this firmware was only made available to the -I series NVRs and this is still how the situation remains today. We aren't sure whether this firmware will be made available for the -K series.

User manual (Customers often complain about how unclear this manual is so we wrote our own "Getting started with your Hikvision system" tutorial which we think is much better ) Recording Resolution - The resolution of a camera tells us how many million pixels will be in it's images. 8MP = 8 million and 12MP = 12 million. Currently, the highest resolution available in Hikvision's most recent range is 8MP. This is really high quality and pretty much the best consumers can get on the market for a CCTV system. ch, resolution: 4K(3840*2160)/60Hz, 4K(3840*2160)/30Hz, 1920*1080P/60Hz, 1600*1200/60Hz, 1280*1024/60Hz, 1280*720/60Hz, 1024*768/60Hz HDMI Output 4K (3840 × 2160)/30 Hz, 2K (2560 × 1440)/60 Hz, 1920 × 1080/60 Hz, 1600 × 1200/60 Hz, 1280 × 1024/60 Hz, 1280 × 720/60 HzThere are currently 2 main choices for Hikvision systems with up to 8 cameras: DS-7608NI-K2/8P or DS-7608NI-I2/8P. The DS-7608NI-K2/8P is a -K series NVR and was designed to be a "middle level" product while the DS-7608NI-I2/8P is from the -I series and serves as a "top level" product. In 2015 the Hikvision DS-7608NI-E2-8P , which served as the entry level NVR, was made end of life leaving the -K series and -I series NVRs as the only choices on the market.
