Hikvision iDS-7104HQHI-M1/S 4 Channel 1080P Mini 1U H.265 AcuSense DVR

The Hikvision iDS-7104HQHI-M1/S is a 4-channel AcuSense DVR from Hikvision's combined AcuSense/Value Series, designed for small shops, homes, and offices that want smarter motion filtering alongside standard Turbo HD recording. It sits a step above the standard DS-7104HGHI-M1/T model by adding AcuSense deep-learning analytics, giving more accurate detection with fewer false alarms in the same compact Mini 1U form factor.

Video Compression and Recording Performance

The iDS-7104HQHI-M1/S uses H.265 Pro+/H.265 Pro/H.265/H.264+/H.264 video compression to keep storage and bandwidth usage efficient. It supports recording resolutions up to 4MP Lite and 1080p at 15fps, with continuous, motion-detection, scheduled, and AcuSense smart-event recording modes. The standout feature here is AcuSense Motion Detection 2.0, which uses deep-learning classification to distinguish between human and vehicle movement, filtering out irrelevant triggers like blowing leaves or small animals that typically flood standard motion-detection systems with false alerts.

Multi-Format Camera Compatibility

This DVR supports HDTVI, AHD, HDCVI, CVBS, and IP cameras across its 4 channels, with 2 IP camera channels available by default and up to 6-ch total IP camera input at resolutions up to 6MP. This hybrid setup allows a mix of existing analog cameras and newer IP cameras on the same recorder, giving flexibility for gradual upgrades. All 4 channels support audio-over-coaxial cable along with two-way audio on the first channel.

Network Access and Remote Monitoring

The unit connects through a single RJ45 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port and integrates with the Hik-Connect app for remote live viewing and playback from a smartphone or PC client. It is ONVIF-compliant with P2P cloud access via Hik-Connect, and supports DDNS, SMTP, NFS, and iSCSI among other protocols. Up to 32 remote users can connect simultaneously, suitable for a small team or a shop owner monitoring from multiple devices.

Storage, Playback and Backup

A single SATA interface supports hard drives up to 10 TB, notably higher capacity headroom than the standard DS-7104HGHI-M1/T despite the same 4-channel count, giving more flexibility for long-term footage retention. Playback runs in 4-channel synchronous mode with AcuSense-powered smart playback and smart search, allowing footage to be filtered specifically by human or vehicle activity. Backup is available through the two rear USB 2.0 ports or over the network. Pairing this DVR with a dedicated surveillance-grade drive from Softlink BD's HDD collection is recommended to make full use of its extended storage support.

Design and Power Efficiency

The recorder ships in the familiar Mini 1U chassis at 200 × 200 × 48 mm, weighing under 1.0 kg without a hard drive installed. It runs on a 12 VDC, 1.5 A power supply and consumes just 8 W or less without a drive, making it one of the more power-efficient options in the DVR lineup. The white plastic-and-metal housing is rated for -10°C to 55°C operating temperatures.
