Hikvision DS-7104HGHI-M1 4-Channel Turbo HD DVR for Compact CCTV Systems

The Hikvision DS-7104HGHI-M1 is a compact four-channel Turbo HD digital video recorder suited to smaller analogue CCTV installations and upgrades. It accepts HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI and conventional CVBS camera signals, while also providing limited IP camera support.

Motion Detection 2.0 adds human and vehicle classification across the analogue channels, helping you search useful events more efficiently instead of treating every movement as equally important.

Is This Right for You?

• Suitable for CCTV systems requiring up to four directly connected analogue cameras.
• A practical choice when working with compatible HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI or CVBS cameras.
• Useful for mixed systems that need analogue recording with the option to add compatible IP cameras.
• Consider a higher-specification recorder if you require full-resolution 1080p recording rather than 1080p Lite, more than four analogue channels or higher-resolution IP camera support.

Why Choose This Product?

• Smarter motion filtering: Motion Detection 2.0 distinguishes human and vehicle targets on the analogue channels, helping reduce events caused by movement such as leaves or changing light.
• Works with several analogue formats: HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI and CVBS support makes the recorder useful for new installations as well as selected CCTV upgrades.
• Efficient video storage: H.265 Pro+ compression is designed to reduce the amount of storage required for recorded footage.
• Hybrid camera capability: The recorder provides four analogue inputs and supports network cameras, with configuration supporting up to five IP channels at up to 2MP.
• Remote connectivity: Ethernet networking and Hik-Connect support allow the recorder to form part of a remotely accessible CCTV system when correctly connected and configured.
• Flexible display connection: HDMI and VGA outputs can operate simultaneously for straightforward connection to compatible monitors.

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
