Hikvision 8-Channel PoE NVR with 8 PoE Ports

Description

Hikvision DS-7108NI-Q1/8P 8-Channel PoE NVR for Compact IP CCTV Systems

The Hikvision DS-7108NI-Q1/8P combines an 8-channel network video recorder with eight built-in PoE camera ports, making it a practical choice for smaller IP CCTV installations where cameras can be wired directly back to the recorder.

It accepts IP cameras up to 6MP, provides 60Mbps incoming bandwidth and supports H.265+ video compression to make more efficient use of the installed surveillance hard drive.

Is This Right for You?

• Suitable for homes, small businesses and other installations requiring up to eight IP cameras.
• A good choice when you want PoE cameras connected directly to the recorder without needing a separate PoE switch.
• Consider a higher-capacity NVR if you need more than eight cameras, more than one internal hard drive or greater network bandwidth.

Why Choose This Product?

• Eight built-in PoE ports: Compatible PoE cameras can receive network connectivity and power through the same Ethernet cable, reducing additional power equipment at each camera.
• Up to 6MP IP camera input: Supports higher-resolution IP cameras while giving you flexibility to combine supported resolutions across the system.
• H.265+ compression: More efficient video compression can reduce the storage space required compared with older H.264 recording.
• Flexible local viewing: HDMI and VGA outputs can operate simultaneously for connection to compatible monitors.
• Smart event functions: Supports line-crossing and intrusion-detection functions together with smart search and playback features.
• Remote management: Hik-Connect support provides convenient network management and remote system access when the recorder is correctly connected and configured.

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:

Number of Cameras	Suggested Drive Capacity
1–4 cameras	1TB–2TB
5–8 cameras	2TB–4TB
9–16 cameras	6TB–10TB
More than 16 cameras	Calculate your requirements

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
