Hikvision DS-7204HFI-SH offers video recording with resolution of 4CIF/2CIF/CIF/QCIF at frame rate of 25 fps (each channel). The local recording and network transmission uses H.264 compression that provides good image quality with relatively small bandwidth and disk space consumption.

Thanks to the 25 fps frame rate in each channel, the DVR is ideal for monitoring dynamic environments such as streets, expressways/highways, parking lots, bus stations etc. For example, a car traveling at a speed of 60 km/h covers 16 meters a second, so a DVR recording video at 10 fps would have "linear resolution" of 1.6 meter, not acceptable in many applications (loss of a huge amount of information between consecutive frames). Operating at 25 fps, Hikvision DS-7204HFI-SH provides video footage that is 2.5 times more accurate in this sense.

Due to legal requirements, some systems have to ensure very long storage time. Thanks to possibility of connecting two HDDs, each up to 4 TB, Hikvision DS-7204HFI-SH can continuously record video from 4 cameras with 4CIF resolution at 25 fps (H.264, 2.5 Mbps) for about 10 months!

A new menu of the DVR has been designed in a manner that helps everyone, even novice users, navigate and make changes to the settings. Both the layout of commonly used functions and graphic design meet the highest current standards. Support for Google Chrome, Opera and Safari web browsers eliminates the need for installing/using ActiveX controls.

Browsing the archives locally, the user can simultaneously play them back from all 4 channels. To quickly localize the interesting moment/period, the video records are presented on timelines (24 hours). The playback can be started just by clicking on a point on a timeline. "Smart search" function allows for finding moments with movement in a defined area of an image in order to analyze vital events.

HIKVISION DVRs in IP networks can be controlled via VMS software. The VMS utility can remotely manage up to 50 DVRs. The user accounts can have different access/management rights, from the highest level of "administrator" to individually limited "guest" levels.
