Note: RAID and on-NVR AI cannot run simultaneously — choose storage redundancy or on-NVR AI per installation. For mission-critical sites needing both, pair this NVR with a Hik-Central federation or run RAID on a separate DS-9xxx-NI storage NVR. For installations not needing on-NVR AI search, consider the iDS-* DeepinMind range (server-side perimeter / face recognition without AcuSeek) or the DS-9xxx-NI storage range (RAID + N+M hot spare without AI).

Hikvision DS-9632NXI-I8/VPro — AcuSeek NVR with on-NVR natural-language video search
32-channel AcuSeek NVR with on-NVR Guanlan large-scale AI, natural-language video search, 8 hot-plug HDD bays (up to 160 TB raw), RAID 0/1/5/6/10, dual HDMI 4K + dual VGA outputs.
Overview
The Hikvision DS-9632NXI-I8/VPro is a 32-channel AcuSeek NVR powered by Hikvision's Guanlan Large-Scale AI Models — the first generation of on-NVR AI to deliver natural-language video search across recorded footage. Search using everyday English: “person wearing a red jacket walking left to right after 4pm yesterday”, “white van parked near the loading bay”, “child running past the front door” — AcuSeek interprets the query and surfaces matching clips in seconds. Two dedicated AI engines run in parallel: one for facial recognition and AcuSearch, one for AcuSeek — modeling up to 300,000 targets per day per channel.
Full 32-channel AcuSeek and AcuSearch coverage with 8-channel facial recognition, 16 face picture libraries holding up to 50,000 faces total (1 GB face-data capacity). H.265+ / H.265 / H.264+ / H.264 video formats supported with H.265+ compression reducing storage by up to 75%. DecodingWhat is Decoding Capability capability 32-ch @ 1080p (AI disabled) or 20-ch @ 1080p (AI enabled). Recording up to 32 MP per channel, with 16-channel synchronous playback. Incoming bandwidth 384 Mbps / outgoing bandwidth 256 Mbps. Per-camera VCA events — line crossing, intrusion, region entrance / exit, scene change, ANPR, people counting — are recorded and searchable.
Storage: 8 × hot-plug SATA HDD bays accepting drives up to 20 TB each (160 TB total raw), with RAID 0/1/5/6/10 for storage redundancy and 1 × eSATA expansion. Note: RAID and on-NVR AI cannot be enabled simultaneously — pick storage redundancy or on-NVR AI based on site requirements. Front panel 2 × USB 2.0, rear panel 2 × USB 3.0 for backup and import. ANR (Automatic Network Replenishment) fills VMS gaps from camera-side SD on network recovery. ANPR is available on all channels, supporting plate-recognition workflows for retail, fleet and access-control sites.
Output: dual independent HDMI (HDMI 1 up to 4K @ 30 Hz, HDMI 2 up to 1080p) plus dual VGA outputs for multi-monitor video walls — HDMI 1 / VGA 1 main, HDMI 2 / VGA 2 auxiliary, each pair carrying its own simultaneous stream. 2-channel RCA audio output + 1-channel two-way audio. 2 × RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps self-adaptive Ethernet with Hik-Connect, DDNS, ONVIF compliance and Hik-Central enterprise VMS support. 16 alarm inputs + 9 alarm outputs for siren, strobe and access-control integration; 1 × RS-232 + 1 × RS-485 (full-duplex) serial interfaces. Power: 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, single PSU, max consumption ≤ 50 W (without HDD). 2U chassis 442 × 462 × 88 mm, approx. 7.1 kg (without HDD). Certified CE / CB / REACH / WEEE / UKCA / RCM.
