Hikvision DS-7732NI-M4/24P 32-Channel 8K NVR with 24 PoE

The Hikvision DS-7732NI-M4/24P is a 32-channel M Series 8K network video recorder with 24 built-in Power-over-Ethernet ports, offering both true 8K video output and generous built-in PoE headroom on a single mid-sized recorder. The extra PoE ports compared to its 16-port sibling make it a better fit for sites planning close to a full 24-camera deployment without needing additional switching.

Hikvision DS-7732NI-M4/24P 32-Channel 8K NVR with 24 Built-In PoE

Up to 24 compatible IP cameras can be powered directly from the recorder's built-in PoE ports, with the remaining channels up to the 32-channel maximum addable via standard networking. The recorder supports up to 32MP camera resolution per channel, and when Ultra HD resolution mode is enabled, can handle up to 8 channels at 32MP/24MP simultaneously — a decoding capacity notably higher (up to 40 channels at 1080p equivalent) than the otherwise similar 16-port /16P variant in the same range.

Video output is comprehensive: HDMI 1 supports resolutions from 8K (7680 × 4320) at 30Hz down through 4K, 2K, 1080p and several lower legacy resolutions at 60Hz, giving broad compatibility with a wide range of monitors and video walls. The recorder provides independent HDMI and VGA outputs, with dual 4K HDMI output also supported when 8K isn't required, and up to 4 SATA interfaces for on-board storage.

24 Built-In PoE Ports

Twenty-four power-over-Ethernet ports are built directly into the chassis, letting up to 24 compatible IP cameras be powered without a separate PoE switch — a meaningful step up from the 16-port variant for sites planning a larger initial camera count.

High-Resolution Decoding & 8K Output

Decoding capacity reaches up to 40 channels at 1080p, with support for up to 8 channels at 32MP/24MP when Ultra HD mode is enabled. HDMI 1 supports true 8K at 30Hz, with a broad range of fallback resolutions (4K, 2K, 1080p, 1600×1200, 1280×1024, 1280×720, 1024×768) for compatibility with older or non-standard displays.

Storage & Bandwidth

Up to 4 SATA interfaces support on-board storage, with 320 Mbps incoming and 400 Mbps outgoing bandwidth. Advanced streaming technology helps maintain smooth live view over degraded network connections, and multiple VCA (Video Content Analytics) events are supported for connected cameras.

• Retail, industrial or commercial sites scaling from a 16-port model
• Sites with unreliable network links needing resilient streaming performance

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the DS-7732NI-M4/16P?

Both are 32-channel M Series 8K NVRs, but this /24P model has 24 built-in PoE ports (versus 16 on the /16P) and a notably higher decoding capacity (up to 40-ch@1080p versus up to 32-ch@1080p) — making it the better fit for sites planning a larger initial camera count.

Can it output true 8K video?

Yes, HDMI 1 supports 7680 × 4320 at 30Hz, with a broad range of fallback resolutions down to 1024 × 768 for compatibility with older or non-standard monitors.

How many cameras can it power directly?

Up to 24 compatible IP cameras via the built-in PoE ports, with the remaining channels up to the 32-channel maximum connectable via standard networking.

What does "Ultra HD mode" do?

When enabled, it allows the recorder to support up to 8 channels at 32MP or 24MP resolution simultaneously, at the cost of reducing available channels for lower-resolution cameras — a trade-off worth planning for if you have several very high-resolution cameras.

How much storage can it support?

Up to 4 SATA interfaces for on-board drives.

Does it support VCA analytics?

Yes, it supports multiple VCA (Video Content Analytics) event types from compatible connected cameras.

Can it drive two separate displays?

Yes, independent HDMI and VGA outputs are provided, with dual 4K HDMI output also supported when full 8K isn't required on the primary display.

Does it handle unreliable network connections well?

Yes, Hikvision's advanced streaming technology is designed to maintain smooth live view even over degraded or congested network links.
