Hikvision DS-7732NI-K4/16P 32-Channel 16-PoE 4K NVR

The DS-7732NI-K4/16P is a 32-channel Hikvision recorder for larger homes, estates, schools, and commercial buildings. Sixteen cameras connect directly to its built-in PoE ports for power and video, and the rest connect through a network switch on its gigabit uplink.

It records cameras up to 8 MP with 256 Mbps of incoming bandwidth, and decodes 1 channel at 12 MP, 2 at 8 MP, 4 at 4 MP, or 8 at 1080p for live view. Independent HDMI (up to 4K) and VGA outputs can show different screens on two monitors, for example a guard's live view and a manager's playback.

Four SATA bays take drives of up to 10 TB each. H.265+ and H.264+ compression reduce storage use, and the recorder works with camera-side smart events such as line crossing, intrusion, and ANPR, so alerts and searches focus on real incidents.

We size the hard drives to how many days of recording you need to keep, and connect the recorder to a UPS or inverter so it keeps recording through power cuts. Remote viewing is through the Hik-Connect app.
