Product Overview
Engineered specifically for small-scale residential properties and boutique commercial premises, the DS-7604NI-I1-4P is a compact 4-channel embedded PoE Network Video Recorder that prioritizes quick, hassle-free installation. Featuring 4 independent Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) ports, it powers and streams IP cameras directly through a single cable, eliminating the need for external network switches. Equipped with high-efficiency H.265+ compression and a total incoming bandwidth of 40Mbps, this unit comfortably handles recording resolutions up to 12MP across modern Hikvision IP camera lines. Running on the Version 4 Graphical User Interface (v4 GUI), it delivers full feature parity with higher-channel I-series models. The unit provides full compatibility with AcuSense, ColorVu, ANPR, people counting, thermal, and heatmap cameras. Flexible output interfaces include HDMI, VGA, and CVBS ports, while Hik-Connect P2P technology makes mobile monitoring setup fast and straightforward. Note: This model is supplied without a pre-installed storage drive, allowing buyers to select their preferred HDD capacity separately.
Key Capabilities
4-Port Built-In PoE Switch
Four standalone plug-and-play PoE interfaces power and route video signals directly from attached cameras, keeping equipment footprint low and simplifying cabling setups in tight enclosures.
Up to 12MP Ultra-HD Recording
Supports recording resolutions up to 12 Megapixels across all 4 channels, backed by a robust 40Mbps incoming throughput capacity to process simultaneous high-resolution video streams seamlessly.
Smart H.265+ Compression
Advanced H.265+ encoding optimizes storage utilization and bandwidth consumption by up to 50% over legacy H.264, maximizing clip retention when utilizing a single internal drive bay.
Broad AI Camera Compatibility
Fully integrated with Hikvision AcuSense, ColorVu, ANPR, people counting, and thermal lines. Onboard smart search functions allow operators to filter events by human or vehicle targets directly from the unit.
Hik-Connect P2P Cloud Access
Simplifies remote viewing setup using peer-to-peer cloud technology. Mobile app viewing is configured easily without complex router port forwarding or static IP configurations.
Best For
An ideal 4-channel plug-and-play solution to cover front entryways, driveways, backyards, and side paths without needing an external network switch.
Boutique shopfronts, receptions, and offices needing a compact recorder that still supports intelligent AI cameras like AcuSense and ANPR.
Serves as the direct replacement path for the legacy DS-7604NI-K1-4P, bringing an upgraded v4 interface and expanded analytics support.
Provided without a pre-installed drive so buyers can select their exact storage capacity or reuse existing surveillance-grade drives.
Why Choose the DS-7604NI-I1-4P
The DS-7604NI-I1-4P fills a key role in small-footprint surveillance setups: it unites plug-and-play installation convenience with comprehensive support for Hikvision's advanced analytics ecosystem. Older or entry-level 4-channel recorders often struggle with modern AI features like AcuSense classification, ColorVu night vision, or ANPR plate recognition—limiting future camera choices. This recorder removes those barriers. Combining H.265+ compression efficiency with a single SATA slot supporting up to 8TB drives, it offers generous video retention in a small chassis. The v4 GUI ensures smooth navigation consistent across the entire I-series NVR range. Available at Security Wholesalers, the DS-7604NI-I1-4P is a smart, forward-compatible choice for small 4-camera installations.

Small Office Premises
Single-level commercial offices covering entry points, carparks, and common corridors can easily manage footage via the v4 GUI and access remote streams via Hik-Connect.
K-Series System Replacements
Replaces older DS-7604NI-K1-4P NVRs using existing wiring, instantly unlocking the updated v4 GUI, improved H.265+ compression, and broader AI camera support.
Childcare and Education Sites
Supports people counting and heatmap analytics alongside baseline security recording, helping small facilities fulfill compliance and operational requirements.
Choosing the Right Model
Choose this model if…
- You require a compact 4-channel plug-and-play PoE recorder with built-in camera power interfaces.
- You plan to use modern Hikvision AI cameras including AcuSense, ColorVu, or ANPR models.
- You prefer to select and purchase your own hard drive capacity separately.
Choose a different model if…
- You might expand beyond 4 cameras in future. This recorder is fixed at 4 channels and cannot be upgraded to add more camera inputs.
- You want a ready-to-run system with a drive pre-installed. Consider an equivalent NVR package bundled with a factory-fitted surveillance hard drive.
FAQs
1. Does the DS-7604NI-I1-4P include a hard drive?
No. The DS-7604NI-I1-4P is supplied without an internal hard drive. It includes a 1-SATA bay that accepts surveillance-rated hard drives up to 8TB (such as WD Purple or Seagate SkyHawk), which must be installed prior to recording video locally.
2. What model replaced the DS-7604NI-K1-4P?
The DS-7604NI-I1-4P is the official replacement for the DS-7604NI-K1-4P. It retains the same 4-channel PoE form factor while introducing the v4 GUI, H.265+ compression support, and full compatibility for AcuSense, ColorVu, and ANPR analytics.
3. Can third-party camera brands connect to this NVR?
Yes, the DS-7604NI-I1-4P supports standard ONVIF protocol connections. However, AI smart analytics (such as AcuSense target filtering and ANPR detection) are guaranteed when paired with compatible Hikvision IP cameras.
4. How long will video footage be stored?
Retention time depends on installed HDD capacity (up to 8TB), stream frame rate, and image resolution. Utilizing H.265+ compression, a 4-camera setup recording continuously at 1080p typically achieves several weeks of video history on a 4TB drive.
5. Does this NVR support smartphone viewing?
Yes. The recorder includes Hik-Connect P2P integration, allowing easy remote live viewing and playback via the Hik-Connect mobile app (iOS and Android) without requiring manual port forwarding on your router.
6. Is this recorder suitable for small commercial deployments?
For sites requiring up to 4 cameras, the DS-7604NI-I1-4P delivers robust performance in retail, office, and small service environments. Support for AcuSense human/vehicle filtering and onboard smart search simplifies incident review significantly.
