Hikvision DS-7204HGHI-F1 4-Channel Turbo HD DVR

The DS-7204HGHI-F1 is an entry-level 4-channel recorder for small coaxial CCTV systems in homes, shops, and small offices. It accepts HD-TVI, AHD, HD-CVI, and older analogue cameras, and can also take IP cameras, so it is flexible when a system mixes old and new cameras.

Recording is in 1080p Lite at 25/30 frames per second on every channel, using H.264+ compression to reduce storage use. For most small sites that is enough to see what happened; if you need full 1080p or higher detail for identification, we would recommend a higher model.

It holds one SATA hard drive, has HDMI and VGA outputs at up to 1080p, and fits in a compact 1U case that sits easily on a shelf or in a small cabinet.

We connect and test each camera, size the hard drive to how many days of footage you want to keep, and set up remote viewing on your phone through Hik-Connect.
