24 Built-In PoE Camera Ports
The major advantage of the /24P version is:
24 × Built-In PoE Camera Interfaces
These allow up to 24 compatible PoE cameras to connect directly to the recorder.
PoE – Power over Ethernet – allows compatible cameras to receive:
- Electrical Power
- Network Data
- Video
- Audio
- Intelligent Event Information
through compatible Ethernet cabling.
A typical direct camera connection is:
IP Camera → Cat5e/Cat6 Cable → NVR PoE Port
This provides a clean and straightforward professional CCTV installation architecture.
32 Channels / 24 PoE Ports
It is important to distinguish between the recorder's camera capacity and physical PoE interfaces.
Maximum IP Camera Capacity
32 Cameras
Built-In PoE Interfaces
24
Therefore, up to 24 compatible cameras can connect directly to the NVR.
To utilise the complete 32-camera recording capacity, the remaining:
8 Cameras
can be connected through suitable external network infrastructure such as compatible PoE network switches.
This makes the /24P version particularly attractive for larger installations because most cameras can connect directly to the recorder.
Why Choose 24 PoE Instead of 16 PoE?
Compared with the DS-7732NI-M4/16P, the DS-7732NI-M4/24P provides:
8 Additional Built-In PoE Camera Ports
For installations using more than sixteen cameras, this can reduce the requirement for external PoE switches and associated network infrastructure.
For example:
16-PoE Model with 24 Cameras
16 cameras can connect directly to the NVR.
8 cameras require external network/PoE infrastructure.
24-PoE Model with 24 Cameras
All 24 cameras can connect directly to the NVR.
This can simplify system design for larger CCTV installations.
210W PoE Power Budget
The recorder provides a total PoE power budget of up to:
210W
across its built-in PoE interfaces.
The PoE ports support:
IEEE 802.3af / 802.3at
Camera power requirements should be considered during system design, particularly where higher-powered cameras are being connected.
Up to 32MP Camera Input
The DS-7732NI-M4/24P supports recording resolutions including:
- 32MP
- 24MP
- 12MP
- 8MP / 4K
- 6MP
- 5MP
- 4MP
- 3MP
- 1080p
- Lower Supported Resolutions
When Ultra-HD Resolution Mode is enabled, the NVR supports up to eight 32MP / 24MP IP video inputs.
This provides excellent flexibility for professional systems combining different camera resolutions.
320Mbps Incoming Bandwidth
The recorder provides:
320Mbps Incoming Bandwidth
This high bandwidth is particularly important for larger CCTV installations using multiple high-resolution cameras.
Available incoming bandwidth is shared across connected camera streams.
System design should consider:
- Number of Cameras

- Frame Rate
- Video Bit Rate
- Audio
- Compression
- Intelligent Functions
- Recording Configuration
400Mbps Outgoing Bandwidth
The recorder provides up to:
400Mbps Outgoing Bandwidth
supporting demanding local-network and remote-video applications.
Powerful Decoding Capability
The M-Series platform provides powerful high-resolution decoding.
Supported configurations include up to:
- 2 × 32MP @ 30fps + 2 × 8MP @ 30fps

- 20 × 4MP @ 30fps
- 40 × 1080p @ 30fps
This provides excellent local-display performance for professional multi-camera surveillance systems.
True 8K HDMI Output
One of the major features of the DS-7732NI-M4/24P is:
True 8K HDMI Video Output
HDMI 1 supports up to:
7680 × 4320 @ 30Hz
when connected to a compatible 8K display.
This is an important distinction from NVRs where very high megapixel specifications refer only to camera input.
The DS-7732NI-M4/24P genuinely supports an 8K local HDMI display output.
Dual HDMI Outputs
The NVR provides:
2 × HDMI Outputs
HDMI 1
Supports up to:
8K – 7680 × 4320 @ 30Hz
and:
4K – 3840 × 2160 @ 60Hz
HDMI 2
Supports up to:
4K – 3840 × 2160 @ 60Hz
When HDMI 1 is operating at 8K resolution, the maximum HDMI 2 output resolution may be limited according to the recorder's display configuration.
VGA Output

- 8MP / 4K Cameras
- 12MP Cameras
- 24MP Cameras
- 32MP Cameras
Dual-Stream Recording
The NVR supports:
Dual-Stream Recording
allowing different streams to be used according to recording, playback and remote-access requirements.
This can help optimise network performance and bandwidth utilisation.
Four HDD Bays
The DS-7732NI-M4/24P provides:
4 × Internal SATA HDD Interfaces
Four HDD bays provide substantial storage capacity for large high-resolution surveillance systems.
This is particularly valuable where the installation requires:
