The Hikvision iDS-7208HQHI-M2/XT is a high-performance 8-channel AcuSense DVR from the XT series, engineered for professional-grade security and long-term storage. This intelligent DVR features Deep Learning-based Human and Vehicle Classification, which uses AI to focus on real security threats while ignoring false alarms like pets, rain, or shadows. It supports high-resolution recording up to 3K (5MP) for the first two channels and 4MP for the others, providing exceptional clarity for critical monitoring areas.

The “M2” in the model name signifies that it features two SATA interfaces, allowing you to install two separate hard drives for a total capacity of up to 20 TB. This makes it ideal for businesses that are legally or operationally required to keep footage for several months. It uses H.265 Pro+ compression to maximize this storage space even further. As a 5-in-1 hybrid DVR, it seamlessly works with HDTVI, AHD, CVI, CVBS, and IP cameras (up to 12 channels total). It also supports Audio over Coaxial for all 8 channels and can be fully managed remotely via the Hik-Connect mobile app.
