8K Output and Ultra-High-Resolution Recording

The Hikvision M-Series recorder is designed to work with a wide range of IP camera resolutions, including 4MP, 6MP, 8MP (4K), 12MP and supported higher-resolution cameras up to 32MP.

Its HDMI interface supports up to 8K display output, providing excellent detail when connected to a compatible display. Recording resolution, live-view decoding performance and the number of simultaneous high-resolution streams depend on the camera settings, firmware and available processing bandwidth.

Eight Built-in PoE Camera Connections

The eight integrated PoE ports simplify installation by delivering network data and electrical power through compatible Ethernet cabling.

• 8 × RJ45 10/100Mbps PoE camera interfaces
• IEEE 802.3af/at PoE support
• Up to 120W total PoE power budget
• 1 × Gigabit Ethernet network connection

This makes the recorder suitable for both new IP CCTV installations and upgrades from older Hikvision NVR systems.

2TB Hard Drive Included – Expandable Storage

This model is supplied with a 2TB hard drive already installed. The recorder features two internal SATA hard drive interfaces for future storage expansion.

The supported M-Series specification allows up to 16TB per SATA drive, giving a maximum theoretical installed storage capacity of 32TB when fitted with supported drives.

Important: Actual recording retention depends on the number of cameras, video resolution, frame rate, compression settings, bitrate and recording schedule. A 2TB hard drive does not guarantee a particular number of recording days.

Remote Viewing with Hik-Connect

Hik-Connect allows authorised users to access their compatible Hikvision CCTV system remotely using a smartphone or tablet, provided the recorder is connected to a suitable internet service and correctly configured.

• Remote live camera viewing
• Recorded footage playback
• Compatible event notifications
