The Hikvision iDS-7204HUHI-M1/PXT is a 4-channel hybrid digital video recorder (DVR) featuring Power over Coax (PoC) technology for streamlined installation. Equipped with Hikvision's AcuSense deep-learning engine, this recorder filters out false alerts by classifying human and vehicle targets. It offers high-resolution recording up to 5MP, making it a reliable solution for professional security systems.
Hikvision iDS-7204HUHI-M1/PXT 4-Channel 5MP AcuSense PoC Turbo HD DVR
This hybrid DVR is specifically designed for sites where running separate power lines to cameras is difficult or costly. Thanks to PoC support, the BNC cables carry both high-definition video and power directly to compatible cameras, significantly cutting down on installation time and cabling expenses. It supports adaptive inputs for HDTVI, AHD, CVI, CVBS, and IP cameras, facilitating smooth integration with existing gear.
With AcuSense technology active, the recorder focuses on human and vehicle shapes while filtering out false triggers caused by wind, rain, shadows, or animals. It records analog cameras at up to 5MP resolution and supports up to 8 IP cameras for extended coverage. Video compression is handled by H.265 Pro+, which reduces storage and network bandwidth usage by up to 75% compared to legacy formats.
Power over Coax (PoC) Simplicity
This DVR powers compatible PoC cameras directly through the coaxial cables, removing the need for local power supplies, power adapters, or extra power runs. It simplifies deployment and ensures a cleaner, more reliable system design for professional installations.
AcuSense Intelligent AI Tracking
The iDS-7204HUHI-M1/PXT uses deep-learning analytics to classify detected objects. It supports up to 4 channels of perimeter protection, triggering alerts specifically for human or vehicle intrusion events, and features facial comparison on up to 2 channels for quick target identification.
Efficient H.265 Pro+ Compression
By optimizing encoding, H.265 Pro+ compression allows you to record high-resolution 5MP video without quickly filling your hard drive. This technology minimizes storage overhead, saving up to 75% on bandwidth and storage space while maintaining sharp video detail.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Power over Coax (PoC)?
Power over Coax (PoC) allows the DVR to send electrical power to compatible Hikvision cameras directly over the coaxial (BNC) video cable, removing the need for individual camera power supplies or splitters.
Can I use non-PoC cameras with this DVR?
Yes, standard analog cameras can be connected to this DVR. However, they will need to be powered by their own separate power adapters as the DVR won't power them via PoC.
How many IP cameras can be connected?
By default, the hybrid system supports up to 8 IP cameras up to 8MP resolution in place of analog channels, or by configuring Enhanced IP mode.
Does it support facial recognition?
Yes, it supports facial recognition and face picture comparison on up to 2 analog channels, allowing you to search recorded footage for specific faces.
What is the maximum hard drive capacity?
This DVR has 1 SATA interface that supports a single surveillance-grade 3.5-inch hard drive up to 10 TB capacity.
Can I record audio from the cameras?
Yes, this DVR supports Audio-over-Coax (AoC) on all channels. If you connect compatible BNC cameras with built-in microphones, the audio is sent over the coax cable without separate wiring.
What app do I use for remote monitoring?
You can use the Hik-Connect app on iOS and Android smartphones for live view, remote playback, and instant push notifications of events.
