Hikvision DS-7104HQHI-K1 | 4Ch Turbo HD DVR with Audio – Compact Powerhouse for Smart Surveillance

If you’re seeking a powerful, efficient, and flexible DVR solution for your security system, the Hikvision DS-7104HQHI-K1 is built exactly for you. Compact yet capable, this 4-channel Turbo HD DVR with audio capabilities is the perfect choice for small businesses, homes, and growing surveillance setups that demand reliability, high performance, and future-proof features.

With advanced video compression technology, multi-signal adaptability, and support for network cameras, the Hikvision DS-7104HQHI-K1 ensures your security system remains efficient, clear, and expandable — all while keeping storage costs low.

Smart and Efficient Design

The Hikvision DS-7104HQHI-K1 features a compact Mini 1U design, making it highly adaptable for installations with limited space. Whether you need a discreet setup behind a desk, in a cabinet, or on a small rack, this DVR fits neatly into any environment.

Despite its small size, it doesn’t compromise on performance. With support for four video channels and one hard drive, the DVR offers sufficient storage and video recording capabilities for most small to medium-sized surveillance setups. Plus, the streamlined design ensures efficient cooling and long-term durability.

Advanced H.265 Pro+ Compression

One of the standout features of the Hikvision DS-7104HQHI-K1 is its use of H.265 Pro+ compression technology. This next-generation compression algorithm drastically reduces video file sizes without sacrificing quality.

Compared to traditional H.264, H.265 Pro+ can save up to 75% in bandwidth and storage space. That means you can record much longer periods on the same hard drive, lowering your storage costs and making remote viewing smoother — even on slower network connections.

If you’re concerned about storage management and operational costs, the Hikvision DS-7104HQHI-K1 provides the ultimate solution through efficient, high-quality video compression.

High-Quality 1080p Recording

The Hikvision DS-7104HQHI-K1 supports recording at up to 1080p resolution at 15 frames per second (fps). This ensures that your surveillance footage captures important details like facial features, license plates, and small objects clearly — critical for accurate monitoring and incident investigation.

While 15 fps is slightly lower than real-time 30 fps recording, it provides a perfect balance between video clarity and storage efficiency, making it an ideal setting for security applications where capturing fine details is more important than ultra-smooth motion.

Flexible 5-Signal Input Support

Flexibility is at the heart of the Hikvision DS-7104HQHI-K1. It adaptively supports five different video input types: HDTVI, AHD, CVI, CVBS (analog), and IP. This makes it incredibly easy to build or expand a hybrid surveillance system.

Whether you are upgrading older analog cameras, adding new HD cameras, or integrating modern IP cameras, this DVR accepts a mix of technologies seamlessly. It automatically detects the signal type without needing manual configuration, saving you installation time and ensuring complete system compatibility.

HDTVI: Crystal-clear HD video over traditional coaxial cables.

AHD: Analog High Definition cameras for affordable HD quality.

CVI: Composite Video Interface, compatible with many major brands.

CVBS: Traditional analog for legacy devices.

IP: Modern network cameras for advanced features and flexibility.

Support for Up to 6 Network Cameras

Going beyond the four coaxial inputs, the Hikvision DS-7104HQHI-K1 also allows you to connect up to six network (IP) cameras. This significantly extends the scalability of your surveillance system.

As you upgrade or expand your setup over time, you can add higher-resolution IP cameras without replacing your existing analog cameras or infrastructure. It’s a smart and cost-effective way to grow your system while gradually embracing more advanced technologies.

Integrated Audio Recording

Security isn’t just about seeing — it’s also about hearing. With built-in audio support, the Hikvision DS-7104HQHI-K1 enables audio recording alongside video. This is particularly useful for environments where verbal interactions matter, such as retail shops, reception areas, and customer service points.

Capturing audio can provide critical context to video footage, adding another layer of protection and accountability to your surveillance system.

Easy Setup and Remote Access

Like all Hikvision products, the Hikvision DS-7104HQHI-K1 is designed for quick and straightforward installation. Thanks to its user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) and helpful setup wizards, even those with minimal technical experience can configure the system easily.

Remote viewing is equally simple. Using the Hik-Connect app or a web browser, you can monitor your cameras anytime and anywhere. Get real-time alerts, playback footage, or even manage settings remotely — all at your fingertips.
