The Hikvision DS-7732NXI-I4/16P/S(E) is a 32-channel AcuSense Series NVR with 16 built-in Power-over-Ethernet ports, representing an earlier NVR generation than the newer VPro-branded models in Hikvision's range. Hikvision's own product page lists this model as discontinued, though a current datasheet is still published, so we'd recommend confirming stock availability with your supplier before committing to an order.
Hikvision DS-7732NXI-I4/16P/S(E) 32-Channel AcuSense NVR with 16 Built-In PoE
Unlike the newer Guanlan-powered VPro series, this AcuSense-generation recorder uses Hikvision's earlier deep-learning algorithm for its analytics, with perimeter protection supported across up to 4 channels and facial recognition available for up to 4 channels of video stream analysis or 8 channels of face picture analysis. It supports up to 32 IP camera channels overall, with decoding capacity of up to 16 channels at 1080p, meaningfully lower than the newer VPro-generation models covering the same channel count.
Two self-adaptive 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interfaces provide network connectivity, with Hik-Connect and DDNS support for remote access, and smooth streaming technology with plug-in-free web access carried over from Hikvision's broader NVR platform.
16 Built-In PoE Ports
Sixteen power-over-Ethernet ports are built into the recorder, allowing up to 16 compatible IP cameras to be powered directly without a separate switch, with the remaining channels up to the 32-channel maximum requiring standard networking.
AcuSense-Generation Analytics
Perimeter protection and facial recognition are supported, but at a smaller scale than the newer VPro-series models — up to 4 channels of perimeter protection and up to 4 channels of facial recognition video stream analysis (or 8 channels of face picture analysis), reflecting this recorder's positioning as an earlier, more budget-oriented generation.
Product Lifecycle Note
This exact model is listed as discontinued on Hikvision's global product page, though a datasheet remains published in some regional markets. If ongoing supply matters for your project, it's worth checking current availability before relying on this specific SKU for future stock.
KEY BENEFITS

IDEAL FOR
- Sites standardising on Hikvision's earlier AcuSense-generation NVR platform
- Budget-conscious 32-channel installs wanting basic facial recognition/perimeter analytics
- Installations wanting 16 built-in PoE ports without needing full VPro-generation analytics
- Extending an existing AcuSense-series estate with a matching recorder generation
- Sites where lower decoding capacity (16-ch@1080p) is sufficient for the camera mix
- Installers price-sensitive to newer VPro/DeepinMind model premiums
- Facilities needing basic Hik-Connect remote access without advanced AI features
- Sites for which supply continuity should be confirmed given discontinued status

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this model still available to order?
Hikvision's global product page lists it as discontinued, though a datasheet remains published in some regional markets — we'd strongly recommend confirming current stock availability with your supplier before committing to an order, especially for larger quantities.
How does this compare to the VPro-series equivalent (DS-7732NXI-I4/16P/VPro)?
This AcuSense-generation model uses an earlier deep-learning platform with more limited analytics (4-channel perimeter protection, 4-channel facial recognition video stream) and lower decoding capacity (16-ch@1080p), compared to the VPro model's Guanlan-based AcuSeek/AcuSearch analytics across up to 32 channels and higher decoding capacity.
How many cameras can it power directly?
Up to 16 compatible IP cameras via the built-in PoE ports, with the remaining channels up to the 32-channel maximum connectable via standard networking.
Does it support facial recognition?
Yes, but at a smaller scale than newer models — up to 4 channels of video stream facial recognition, or up to 8 channels of face picture analysis.
Does it support perimeter protection?
Yes, across up to 4 channels, using Hikvision's deep-learning algorithm from this NVR generation.
What is the decoding capacity?
Up to 16 channels at 1080p, which is lower than comparable newer VPro-generation NVRs covering the same 32-channel input count.
Can I access it remotely?
Yes, via Hik-Connect and DDNS support.
Does it support IP speakers?
Yes, up to 8 channels of IP speakers can be connected for audible alerts.
