Hikvision iDS-7232HQHI-M2/XT AcuSense DVR for Large 32-Channel CCTV Systems

The Hikvision iDS-7232HQHI-M2/XT is designed for larger analogue CCTV installations that need more than basic recording. Its 32 BNC inputs support multiple HD analogue formats, while AcuSense deep-learning functions help identify human and vehicle activity and make recorded events easier to find.

Alongside its analogue capacity, the recorder supports compatible IP cameras, dual internal hard drives and 4K HDMI output. Advanced functions include facial recognition, perimeter protection and AcuSearch, making it suitable for sites where faster investigation and smarter event filtering are important.

Is This Right for You?

• Suitable for commercial, industrial, retail and larger residential CCTV installations requiring up to 32 directly connected analogue cameras.
• A strong upgrade option where existing coaxial cabling and compatible HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI or CVBS cameras are already installed.
• Useful where human and vehicle filtering, perimeter protection or facial recognition can improve event investigation.
• Also suitable for hybrid systems where compatible IP cameras need to operate alongside analogue cameras.

Why Choose This Product?

• Smarter event filtering: Motion Detection 2.0 uses deep learning to classify human and vehicle targets across the analogue channels, helping reduce less relevant motion events.
• Advanced AcuSense analysis: The recorder supports facial recognition on up to 4 channels or advanced perimeter protection on up to 8 channels for installations requiring more targeted event analysis.
• Faster recorded-video searches: AcuSearch technology is supported on up to 8 channels, helping locate relevant human or vehicle events more efficiently.
• Flexible camera compatibility: HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI, CVBS and IP support makes it practical for mixed or upgraded CCTV installations.
• Large storage capacity: Two SATA interfaces allow up to two 12TB hard drives, giving larger camera systems more room for recorded footage.
• Two-way audio over coax: Compatible HDTVI equipment can use audio functionality over coaxial connections without needing a separate network connection for each camera.

Storage Guide – Choosing the Right Hard Drive

The amount of storage you need depends on the number of cameras, camera resolution, recording schedule, and how long you want to keep your footage.

Quick Reference

Suggested starting capacities for typical CCTV systems:

Choose a larger drive when recording continuously, using high-resolution cameras, or keeping footage for longer periods.

Consider More Storage If You:

• Record continuously, 24 hours a day
• Use 4MP, 6MP, or 8MP/4K cameras
• Need to retain footage for 30 days or longer
• Have busy areas with frequent movement
• Record audio together with video
• Plan to add more cameras later
