Product Description
This is an 8-channel Hikvision DVR that arrives with a 10TB hard drive already fitted, so it's ready to record straight out of the box rather than needing you to source and install a drive yourself.
What it does
It's a 1U (single rack-unit height) recorder supporting up to 8 camera channels, each capable of handling footage up to 5MP resolution. It uses H.265 compression, which stores video more efficiently than older H.264 formats — meaning more recording time from the same 10TB drive.
It also includes Hikvision's AcuSense technology, which is designed to distinguish people and vehicles from other movement (like trees or animals), cutting down on irrelevant motion alerts.
Before you buy, check
- Camera compatibility: this DVR is built for Hikvision's HD-TVI/analogue-style cameras rated up to 5MP — confirm your existing or planned cameras match before ordering.
- Storage needs: 10TB is pre-installed, which suits most 8-camera setups recording continuously, but how long that lasts depends on your channel count, resolution settings, and how many cameras are actively recording motion versus running 24/7.
- Rack or shelf space: as a 1U unit, it's designed to sit in a standard rack or on a shelf with a low profile.
If you're replacing an older recorder, check your current cameras' connection type before assuming a straight swap.
