Hikvision DS-7604NI-I1-4P 4ch PoE CCTV NVR 4K 4TB Hard Drive (replaces DS-7604NI-K1-4P)
$655.50 AUD
Model: DS-7604NI-I1-4P
Who This Is For
When keeping the install compact without sacrificing resolution is the priority, the Hikvision DS-7604NI-I1-4P is a practical starting point. This 4-channel PoE NVR suits small commercial premises, residential properties, and light-duty professional installs where up to 4 IP cameras need to be managed from a single unit. The 4 built-in PoE ports mean cameras draw power directly over the Ethernet cable - no separate injectors or power runs needed. The unit ships with a 4TB hard drive pre-installed and supports a second SATA bay for future expansion, which suits installers who want a working system out of the box with room to grow storage later. Its 1U form factor fits neatly into a small rack or lockable cabinet, and the HDMI output handles 4K display for reviewing footage on-site. Suitable for shops, small offices, residential builds, and childcare facilities running up to 4 cameras.
What This NVR Actually Does
4-Port Built-In PoE
Each of the 4 network ports delivers both data and power over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable. No external PoE switch is required, which reduces cabling runs, eliminates extra power points, and keeps the install tidy in smaller comms rooms or wall-mounted cabinets.
4K Recording and Display
Supports up to 8MP (4K) resolution per channel and outputs via HDMI at 4K (3840x2160) at 30Hz. When connected to a 4K monitor, footage from high-resolution cameras is displayed and reviewed at full native resolution - useful for identifying fine detail during playback.
H.265 Pro+ Compression
H.265 Pro+ compresses video more efficiently than standard H.264, meaning the included 4TB drive stores significantly more footage before overwriting. For a 4-camera install, this extends retention time without requiring an immediate hard drive upgrade.
Dual-Bay Storage with ANR
A second SATA bay allows a second hard drive to be added later (up to 10TB per bay). ANR technology allows cameras with a microSD card to buffer footage locally during a network outage, then sync the gap back to the NVR once the connection resumes.
Dual-OS Reliability
The NVR runs a dual-operating-system design, where a secondary OS can maintain recording continuity if the primary experiences a fault. This adds a layer of system resilience without requiring redundant hardware at a small-site budget level.
Remote Access and Flexible Recording
Live view and playback are accessible via mobile app or PC client from any internet-connected location. Recording modes include continuous, motion-triggered, and alarm-triggered options, allowing the recorder to be configured around the specific activity patterns of the site.
Who Buys This Model
- Small business owners: Retail shops, cafes, and offices running 2-4 cameras who want a self-contained recorder with PoE built in - no separate switch required, and remote monitoring via the mobile app.
- Residential installers: Electricians and integrators fitting out homes with up to 4 IP cameras who need a compact 1U recorder that ships with a drive already installed and is ready to configure on day one.
- Property managers: Managing small strata blocks or tenanted properties where a tidy, low-maintenance 4-channel setup with remote viewing is needed and budget for a larger system is not justified.
- Childcare and healthcare facilities: Sites needing 4K playback capability for identity verification and full 4-channel synchronous playback review during incident investigation.
Honest Assessment
The DS-7604NI-I1-4P handles what most 4-camera installs need well: it records at 4K resolution, powers cameras directly through its PoE ports, ships with storage ready to go, and supports remote access without additional hardware. The H.265 Pro+ compression and ANR support are practical advantages that often go unnoticed at first glance but matter for day-to-day reliability. The dual-OS design adds resilience that is uncommon at this price point. Where this NVR has clear limits: 4 channels is a hard ceiling - if the site may expand beyond that, a higher-channel model is a better long-term investment. This unit also does not include AI-based event search (such as perimeter intrusion or facial recognition filtering), so event retrieval relies on standard motion detection and timeline scrubbing rather than smart search. Available through Security Australia, this model suits contained installs where the camera count is fixed and simplicity of setup is valued.
Before You Buy
Storage Planning: The included 4TB drive is the starting point, not the ceiling. A second SATA bay supports a second drive up to 10TB. At 4K resolution with H.265 Pro+, continuous recording across 4 channels will fill 4TB in roughly 7-10 days depending on scene complexity. If your site requires 14-30 days of retention, install a second drive at commissioning rather than returning to the site later.
PoE Budget: The NVR's total PoE output is shared across all 4 ports. High-power cameras such as PTZ models or cameras with strong IR arrays draw more wattage. Check that your selected cameras' combined PoE draw stays within the unit's total PoE budget - the unit itself operates on a 12VDC supply at under 15W, so the PoE budget is a separate consideration from the NVR's own power consumption.
Quick Fit Check
- Good match if: You are installing exactly 4 IP cameras and want a unit that powers them through built-in PoE ports without a separate switch - the DS-7604NI-I1-4P handles power and recording in a single device.
- Good match if: You need 4K-capable recording and on-site 4K display via HDMI, with the option to add a second hard drive later without any hardware modifications.
- You may need a different model if: Your site requires more than 4 cameras now or is likely to expand - an 8-channel or 16-channel NVR from the Hikvision range on securityaustralia.com.au will give you headroom without a full recorder replacement.

- You may need a different model if: Your site has more than 4 cameras or is expected to grow - an 8-channel or 16-channel NVR will give you expansion headroom without replacing this unit, and both options are available on securityaustralia.com.au.
- Pairs well with: Hikvision 4K turret or dome PoE cameras, particularly models with onboard microSD card slots to take advantage of the ANR function built into this NVR.
Common Questions
-
Does this NVR come with a hard drive already installed?
Yes. The DS-7604NI-I1-4P includes a 4TB hard drive pre-installed. The unit has a second SATA bay that supports an additional drive up to 10TB, so you can expand storage on-site without opening a new order or returning the unit to a workshop. -
Does this NVR need a separate PoE switch to power cameras?
No. The unit has 4 built-in PoE ports that deliver both power and data to connected cameras over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable. A separate PoE switch or injector is not required for a standard 4-camera install. -
Will this NVR work with non-Hikvision cameras?
Partially. The DS-7604NI-I1-4P supports ONVIF-compatible cameras, but full feature access - including ANR, remote firmware management, and channel health monitoring - is confirmed with Hikvision cameras. Third-party cameras may connect for basic recording but advanced integration features may not be available. -
What happens to recording if the network goes down?
ANR (Automatic Network Replenishment) keeps recording running. When the network connection is interrupted, cameras with a local microSD card continue recording to that card. Once the network is restored, the NVR automatically retrieves and fills in the missing footage. This requires cameras that support ANR and have a microSD card inserted. -
Does the DS-7604NI-I1-4P support remote viewing on a smartphone?
Yes. Remote access is supported via a mobile app and PC client, allowing live view and recorded footage playback from any internet-connected device. Setup uses standard port-forwarding or the Hikvision P2P cloud service depending on the network configuration at the site. -
How long will the 4TB drive record before it loops?
It depends on resolution and compression settings. With H.265 Pro+ enabled across 4 cameras recording at high resolution continuously, you can expect roughly 7-14 days of retention before the drive begins overwriting the oldest footage. Lowering resolution on lower-priority channels, using motion-triggered recording, or adding a second drive extends this considerably. -
Can I add more cameras to this NVR in the future?
No. The DS-7604NI-I1-4P is a fixed 4-channel unit. It does not support channel licence upgrades. If your camera count is likely to increase, a higher-channel model is a more practical long-term choice - Security Australia stocks the broader Hikvision NVR range across 8, 16, and 32-channel configurations.
