Hikvision DS-7732NI-M4/16P M Series 8K NVR

FAQs

What is the maximum camera resolution supported by the DS-7732NI-M4/16P?

The NVR supports IP cameras up to 32 megapixels resolution. However, when ultra HD resolution mode is enabled to accommodate 32 MP or 24 MP cameras, the system is limited to 8 channels at these resolutions. For standard installations, all 32 channels can be utilised with cameras up to 12 MP resolution.

How many cameras can be powered directly by the integrated PoE ports?

The NVR features 16 integrated PoE ports compliant with IEEE 802.3 af/at standards, providing up to 200W total power budget. This allows you to power up to 16 IP cameras directly without requiring additional PoE switches. For installations exceeding 16 cameras, additional PoE switches or injectors will be required for cameras 17-32.

Can I connect both 8K and 4K displays simultaneously?

Yes, the DS-7732NI-M4/16P features dual HDMI outputs. HDMI 1 supports 8K output at 7680 × 4320 resolution at 30Hz, whilst HDMI 2 can output 4K at 3840 × 2160 resolution at 60Hz. However, when HDMI 1 is set to 8K resolution, HDMI 2 output is limited to a maximum of 1080p resolution to manage bandwidth constraints.

What storage capacity can the NVR accommodate?

The recorder features four SATA interfaces, each supporting hard drives up to 16TB capacity, providing a maximum total storage capacity of 64TB. This substantial storage capability, combined with H.265+ compression that can reduce storage requirements by up to 75%, enables extended recording periods even with multiple high-resolution cameras.

Is the NVR compatible with third-party IP cameras?

Yes, the DS-7732NI-M4/16P is ONVIF Version 2.5 compliant and supports RTSP camera access protocols, enabling compatibility with a wide range of third-party IP cameras. This ensures flexibility in system design whilst maintaining the ability to leverage Hikvision’s advanced smart features when used with compatible Hikvision cameras.

What smart analytics functions are supported?

The NVR supports multiple Video Content Analytics (VCA) events and can be configured with special camera smart functions including motion detection, line crossing detection, intrusion detection, heat mapping, automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), and people counting. These analytics capabilities enable proactive monitoring and valuable business intelligence gathering beyond basic surveillance.

How does the dual-stream recording feature benefit installations?

Dual-stream recording allows the NVR to record a high-resolution mainstream for local storage whilst simultaneously transmitting a lower-resolution substream for remote viewing. This significantly reduces bandwidth consumption when accessing footage remotely, ensuring smooth remote monitoring even over limited internet connections whilst maintaining full-quality local recordings.

Can I access the NVR remotely without installing browser plugins?

Yes, the DS-7732NI-M4/16P supports plug-in-free web access, allowing you to monitor and manage your system through standard web browsers without requiring additional software installation. The system also supports Hik-Connect for smartphone access and DDNS for simplified remote connectivity, providing multiple convenient remote access options.
