The DS-7604NI-M1/4P provides strong decoding capability for a compact 4-channel recorder.
Supported decoding includes up to:
4 Channels × 8MP @ 30fps
This is particularly useful when pairing the NVR with modern 8MP / 4K Hikvision cameras.
The recorder also supports lower-resolution multi-channel decoding according to system configuration.
40Mbps Incoming Bandwidth
The recorder provides:
40Mbps Incoming Bandwidth
Incoming bandwidth determines the total camera-stream data that the NVR can receive.
Correct camera resolution, frame rate, compression and bit-rate configuration should be considered when designing the CCTV system to remain within the recorder's available bandwidth.
80Mbps Outgoing Bandwidth
The DS-7604NI-M1/4P provides up to:
80Mbps Outgoing Bandwidth
This supports local and remote video streaming requirements according to the complete network configuration.
