Hikvision 64-Channel 8K NVR Security System with 8MP ColorVu Turret Cameras
What would it mean for your security team to see important details clearly instead of trying to interpret dark, low-resolution footage after an incident?
This professional Hikvision system combines the 64-channel DS-9664NI-M8 NVR with DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL 8MP ColorVu turret cameras for detailed monitoring, 24/7 color imaging, and intelligent human and vehicle classification.
Active visual and audible warnings help you respond before suspicious activity escalates, while two-way audio provides a direct way to communicate with people at the property.
With extensive recording capacity, RAID support, and 8K video output, the system gives growing organizations a surveillance foundation designed for demanding, multi-camera environments.
Why Buyers Choose This Model
When dozens of areas must be protected, how costly could it become to depend on a recorder that cannot keep up with the number of cameras, required image quality, or storage demands?

64 IP Camera Channels — Protect More Areas from One System
Connect up to 64 IP cameras to centralize surveillance across entrances, parking areas, warehouses, offices, sales floors, and other critical locations.
8MP Camera Resolution — Capture Details That Matter
The DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL records at up to 3840 × 2160, giving you detailed 4K images that can make reviewing people, vehicles, and events easier.
24/7 ColorVu Imaging — Preserve Color After Dark
Would recognizing the color of a vehicle, a person’s clothing, or another visual detail help you understand an incident more quickly? ColorVu technology combines an F1.0 aperture, a high-performance sensor, and white supplemental light to deliver color imaging day and night.
Human and Vehicle Classification — Focus on Relevant Activity
Deep-learning classification helps distinguish human and vehicle targets during supported motion and perimeter events, allowing operators to focus on activity that may deserve attention.
Active Strobe and Audible Warning — Respond Before an Intrusion Progresses
The camera can produce a visual strobe and audible warning to let a potential intruder know the property is actively protected instead of merely recording the event.
Built-In Two-Way Audio — See, Hear, and Communicate
A built-in microphone and 1.5 W speaker let authorized users hear activity and communicate through the camera, providing a practical way to address visitors or warn someone away.
130 dB WDR — Maintain Clarity in Difficult Lighting
Strong sunlight, bright entrances, and backlit subjects can hide important details. The camera’s 130 dB Wide Dynamic Range helps balance bright and dark areas for a clearer image.
Up to 30 m of White Light — Extend Color Monitoring at Night
The integrated white supplemental light reaches up to 30 meters, helping the camera maintain useful color imaging when natural lighting is insufficient.
H.265+ Compression — Use Storage More Efficiently
H.265+ compression can reduce storage requirements by up to 75% compared with conventional compression referenced by the NVR datasheet, helping you retain video more efficiently without giving up the system’s high-resolution capabilities.
Eight HDD Bays — Build Storage Around Your Retention Needs
The NVR accepts up to eight hot-pluggable SATA hard drives with capacities of up to 16 TB per drive, giving you flexibility to configure storage for a large camera deployment.
RAID Support — Add Protection Against Storage Failure
Support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10, plus N+M hot spare, allows qualified system designers to balance usable capacity, performance, and recording protection according to the installation’s priorities.
400 Mbps Recording Bandwidth — Support Demanding Installations
Up to 400 Mbps of incoming and outgoing bandwidth gives the recorder the capacity needed for substantial multi-camera deployments when the overall system is configured within its bandwidth limits.
8K and Dual-4K Outputs — See More from the Monitoring Station
The NVR provides two HDMI and two VGA outputs with independent main and auxiliary display groups. HDMI output up to 8K or dual 4K helps operators monitor detailed camera layouts on compatible displays.
16-Channel Synchronous Playback — Review Multiple Angles Together
Play back as many as 16 channels simultaneously to compare activity across several cameras and develop a clearer sequence of events.
Remote Access — Stay Connected Away from the Property
Hik-Connect support makes it possible to manage and access the system remotely, while compatibility with iVMS-4200 and Hik-Central provides additional client options.
Up to 512 GB of Camera Storage — Add Recording Resilience
Each camera includes a memory-card slot supporting up to 512 GB of onboard storage. Automatic Network Replenishment can support compatible recovery workflows when network storage is temporarily interrupted.
IP67 Metal Camera Housing — Built for Outdoor Conditions
The water- and dust-resistant metal housing operates from -30°C to 60°C, allowing the camera to serve in a wide range of indoor and outdoor environments.
Specialized Camera Support — Expand Beyond Standard Surveillance
The NVR supports compatible ANPR, people-counting, fisheye, and heat-map cameras, giving businesses room to add specialized monitoring capabilities as their requirements evolve.
POS Integration — Connect Transactions with Recorded Events
For compatible retail applications, the NVR can overlay POS information on live video and playback and use POS activity to trigger recording or alarms.
Built-In Cybersecurity Features — Strengthen System Access
Secure boot, signed firmware, HTTPS, AES-128 live-view and playback encryption, IP and MAC filtering, access logs, and brute-force delay protection help support a more controlled surveillance environment.

What This Helps You Avoid
Imagine discovering an incident, only to find that the subject was too dark to identify, the recorder lacked capacity for every area, or the useful moment was buried among irrelevant motion events.
“`
- Dark, colorless nighttime evidence: 24/7 ColorVu imaging helps preserve useful color information after daylight fades.
- Important subjects hidden by backlighting: 130 dB WDR helps reveal detail in scenes containing both bright and dark areas.
- Constant attention to ordinary movement: Human and vehicle classification helps operators concentrate on specified target types.
- Recording without intervention: The camera’s strobe light, audible warning, and two-way audio create options for responding while an event is occurring.
- Outgrowing a small recorder: Support for up to 64 IP cameras provides room for larger properties and expanding installations.
- Limited storage flexibility: Eight hot-pluggable HDD bays, eSATA connectivity, and multiple RAID choices support customized retention and protection strategies.
- Reviewing one angle at a time: Sixteen-channel synchronous playback helps reconstruct events across multiple camera views.
- Being disconnected while away: Hik-Connect support provides a way to access and manage the system remotely.
Instead of relying on a collection of disconnected cameras, you gain one expandable platform designed to help your team detect relevant activity, respond more effectively, and preserve clearer evidence when it matters.

Before You Choose Your Configuration
The DS-9664NI-M8 datasheet lists two standard network interfaces but does not list built-in PoE camera ports. Confirm the required external PoE switches, hard drives, camera quantity, lens options, cabling, and included accessories before purchasing.
The camera is IP67 rated but has no specialized anti-corrosion protection, so it should not be selected for coastlines, docks, chemical plants, or similarly corrosive environments without an appropriate site evaluation.
