Hikvision DS-7608NXI-K1/8P/VPRO 8-Channel 8-PoE AcuSeek 4K NVR

Overview

The Hikvision DS-7608NXI-K1/8P/VPro is an 8-channel K/VPro AcuSeek NVR powered by Hikvision's Guanlan Large-Scale AI Models — bringing affordable on-NVR natural-language video search to the value K-tier. Search recordings in everyday English: “person approaching a white SUV”, “brown handbag left near the counter”, “child running past the front door” — AcuSeek interprets the query and surfaces matching clips in seconds, modelling up to 50,000 targets per day.

AcuSearch on all 8 channels with 8-ch facial recognition (16 face libraries, up to 50,000 face pictures, ≤ 800 MB total), perimeter protection and Motion Detection 2.0 for human/vehicle classification, plus ANPR by camera.
