The Hikvision iDS-7204HUHI-M2/S is a compact yet powerful 4-channel DVR equipped with AcuSense technology, designed to deliver accurate human/vehicle detection and smart analytics. Ideal for small to mid-size surveillance setups, it combines deep learning-based motion detection, perimeter protection, and face detection & capture in a sleek 1U chassis.
Features
-
Motion Detection 2.0 – Deep learning-based human/vehicle analysis enabled by default on all analog channels, drastically reducing false alarms.
-
Perimeter Protection – Human/vehicle filtering for intrusion and line-crossing detection on up to 4 analog channels. (Note: Cannot be used simultaneously with Motion Detection 2.0)
-
Face Detection & Capture – Detects and captures faces on up to 2 channels, with searchable face images for traceability.
-
Hybrid Video Inputs – Supports HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI, CVBS, and up to 8 IP cameras (2 by default, expandable to 8 in Enhanced IP Mode).
-
Efficient Compression – H.265 Pro+ saves significant storage and bandwidth while maintaining high video quality.
-
Smart Search – Object/event-based playback improves search accuracy and reduces investigation time.
-
Flexible Outputs – HDMI up to 4K and VGA up to 1080p for simultaneous display.
-
Network Ready – Supports Hik-Connect, ONVIF, HTTPS, DDNS, and up to 128 remote connections.

Installer Tips
-
AI Features – Choose either Motion Detection 2.0 or Perimeter Protection per channel group; they cannot run simultaneously.
-
Camera Compatibility – Use HDTVI cameras up to 8 MP for best results; AHD and HDCVI support lower resolutions.
-
IP Expansion – Enable Enhanced IP Mode in settings if you need to add more than 2 IP cameras.
-
Storage Planning – Pair with H.265 Pro+ supported cameras to maximize storage efficiency and extend recording days.
-
Remote Setup – Always register the DVR with Hik-Connect for secure remote access and easy client management.
-
Dual Display – Use HDMI (up to 4K) for the main monitor and VGA for a secondary control screen if needed.
-
Power & Heat – Install in a well-ventilated rack or shelf; avoid enclosed spaces to maintain reliability.
