AcuSeek and AcuSearch analytics — facial recognition, perimeter protection, video structuralization and motion detection 2.0 — are available across the full 8 channels, with facial recognition specifically supported for up to 8 channels of face picture analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe recorder is compatible with third-party network cameras, useful if a small site has a mixed-vendor camera estate rather than being fully Hikvision-native. Independent HDMI and VGA outputs support resolutions up to 4K, and up to 2 SATA interfaces provide on-board storage — a smaller storage footprint appropriate for the recorder's compact 8-channel scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e8 Built-In PoE Ports Matching Channel Count\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith PoE ports exactly matching the 8-channel capacity, a small site's camera system can be fully powered from the recorder itself, avoiding the need for a separate switch on entry-level installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGuanlan AI Analytics on a Compact Recorder\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its small channel count, this recorder runs the same Guanlan large-scale AI model analytics platform found on Hikvision's larger VPro recorders, bringing facial recognition and AcuSearch attribute-based search to smaller sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThird-Party Camera Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recorder is designed to
