Hikvision iDS-7104HQHI-M1/S AcuSense DVR for Smarter 4-Channel CCTV Recording

The Hikvision iDS-7104HQHI-M1/S combines four analogue camera inputs with AcuSense deep-learning functions that help distinguish people and vehicles from less useful motion. It is a practical recorder for smaller homes, offices and businesses using compatible coaxial CCTV cameras.

Support for HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI, CVBS and IP video allows existing analogue cameras and cabling to be retained while still providing a path to add compatible IP cameras. H.265 Pro+ compression helps make more efficient use of hard-drive capacity.

Is This Right for You?

• Suitable for CCTV installations requiring up to four directly connected analogue cameras.
• A good upgrade where compatible HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI or CVBS cameras and coaxial cabling are already installed.
• Useful when human and vehicle filtering is important for reducing less relevant motion events.
• Compatible IP cameras can also be added when a small hybrid analogue and network-camera system is required.

Why Choose This Product?

• Smarter motion detection: Motion Detection 2.0 uses deep learning to distinguish human and vehicle targets, helping make alerts and recorded-event searches more relevant.
• Perimeter protection: Human and vehicle analysis can be applied to perimeter-protection functions on up to 2 channels.
• Flexible camera compatibility: Support for HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI, CVBS and IP video makes the DVR suitable for upgrading many existing coaxial CCTV systems.
• Higher-resolution Lite recording: In addition to 1080p recording, the DVR supports recording modes up to 3K/5MP Lite at 12 fps where compatible cameras and settings are used.
• Efficient storage: H.265 Pro+ compression improves encoding efficiency and helps reduce the storage required for recorded footage.
• Audio over coax: Compatible cameras can carry audio through the same coaxial connection used for video.

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
