Key Features and Capabilities:
4-Channel Video Input:
The DS-7204HQHI-K1 supports up to 4 analog or Turbo HD cameras, making it suitable for small surveillance setups that need multiple cameras but don’t require a large-scale system.
Turbo HD Technology:
As part of Hikvision's Turbo HD series, the DS-7204HQHI-K1 supports HD-TVI (High Definition Transport Video Interface) cameras, providing high-definition video (up to 1080p) over traditional coaxial cables. This allows for easy upgrade of analog systems to HD without needing to replace all the cabling.
Recording Resolution:
It supports up to 1080p (Full HD) recording resolution, ensuring clear and sharp video footage for monitoring and playback.
Multiple Compression Formats:
The DVR uses advanced video compression formats, such as H.265+, which reduces storage and bandwidth usage while maintaining excellent video quality. This is especially important for systems with limited storage capacity or where bandwidth is a concern.
Storage Options:
The device has 1 SATA interface for connecting a hard drive (HDD) for video storage. Typically, it supports hard drives up to 6TB, giving users sufficient storage for extended periods of video footage.
Local and Remote Viewing:
The DS-7204HQHI-K1 allows for both local viewing (directly via connected monitors) and remote viewing via mobile apps or web browsers. Hikvision's iVMS-4200 software and Hik-Connect mobile app make it easy for users to access and manage their system remotely.
Alarm and Event Triggering:
It supports motion detection, video loss, and other event-based triggers that can activate alerts, record footage, or notify users of suspicious activity in real-time. This helps increase the responsiveness of security personnel or property owners.
HDMI and VGA Outputs:
The DVR comes with HDMI and VGA outputs, enabling connection to monitors for live viewing or playback. Multiple display options provide flexibility in setting up a surveillance station.
User-Friendly Interface:
The DVR has an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) for easy setup and operation. Users can configure settings, view camera feeds, and manage recordings with ease, even for those with minimal technical expertise.
PTZ Control:
The DS-7204HQHI-K1 supports PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) camera control, allowing for enhanced monitoring and flexible surveillance coverage. This is particularly useful for monitoring large areas or when you need to zoom in on specific incidents.
Audio Support (Optional):
The DVR also supports audio recording for connected cameras that include a microphone, providing an added layer of security by capturing audio along with video footage.
