Unveiling the Hikvision NVR Product Family
Before exploring Hikvision’s NVRs, let’s grasp how a CCTV system functions and the NVR’s pivotal role.
CCTV System Mechanics Understanding
- Front-End: Cameras capture images and convert them into digital data.
- Back-End: The NVR processes, stores, and manages the collected data.
- Optional Display: A monitor can be connected to the NVR for real-time viewing.
The Powerhouse of the Back-End: The NVR
The NVR acts as the CCTV system’s central hub, performing three key tasks:
- Decoding: Converts raw camera data into viewable format.
- Storage: Securely stores recorded footage on internal hard drives.
- Playback: Allows review of recorded footage anytime, anywhere.
Introduction to Hikvision NVR Product Family
This section provides an overview of the Hikvision NVR product family, offering insights into the diverse range of products available.
Understanding the Naming Rule
Selecting the right Hikvision NVR for your needs can seem daunting, especially with their diverse product lines and seemingly cryptic naming conventions. But fear not! This guide will equip you with the knowledge to decipher these codes and identify the ideal NVR for your specific requirements.
Putting it Together:
An Hikvision NVR name typically consists of seven parts:
- iDS: Hikvision’s iDS takes security to the next level by going beyond simple video recording. These products leverage deep learning algorithms to extract critical insights from the captured footage. Think automatic object and people detection, tracking, and classification, allowing for proactive security measures and efficient incident response. DS: Denotes Hikvision products (always present).
- 77: The number “77” in a Hikvision NVR product name typically indicates that it belongs to the DeepinMind series. This series generally falls within the entry-level category of Hikvision NVRs.
- Number: Represents the number of IP channels the NVR can support (e.g., 16, 32).
- N: Identifies the device as an NVR or NX: one with deep learning capabilities, respectively.
- I: Indicates the product is international.
- Letter: Specifies the Hardware platform power and supported features (e.g., E – basic, K – high-end).
- Number: Indicates number of slots in an NVR
- Additional Features: This section may include optional letters or numbers indicating further functionalities, like PoE (Power over Ethernet) or specific encoding formats.
- Letter: Indicates hardware revision.
While these seven elements form the core of an NVR name, additional letters or numbers may indicate specific features:
- P: PoE (Power over Ethernet) ports enabling signal and power transmission through a single cable.
- H: Decoding board for additional functionalities.
- M: Metal case for enhanced durability.
- W: Wi-Fi module for wireless connectivity.
- 4G: 4G module for cellular network connection.
- s: False alarm filter to reduce unwanted alerts.
- (B, C, D): Hardware revision indicators, reflecting upgrades and improvements within the same product model.
Remember, memorizing every code might initially seem overwhelming. But as you explore the diverse world of Hikvision NVRs, these elements will become increasingly familiar, empowering you to make informed and confident choices.
Let’s take an example: DS-7616HI-K16P
- DS: Hikvision product
- 76: Entry-level series
- 16: Supports 16 IP channels
- HI: Intelligent NVR with deep learning
- K: Higher processing power platform
- 16: 16 available HDD slots
- P: PoE ports for powering IP cameras
By understanding this breakdown, you can quickly grasp the key features of any Hikvision NVR just by looking at its name.
Unveiling the Mysteries of Your CCTV System
In the first chapter, we embarked on a fascinating journey into the inner workings of a CCTV system. Remember how we compared it to a detective agency with eagle-eyed cameras (the “observers”) capturing every detail? But those observations, like any detective’s notes, are written in a secret code only they can understand.
That’s where the NVR, our superhero decoder, comes in! It takes the confusing camera code and transforms it into crystal-clear pictures and videos for us to see. But its powers don’t stop there. Just like a detective meticulously logs their findings, the NVR acts as a super memory bank, storing all the recordings safe and sound, allowing us to rewind time and re-watch anything anytime.
Decoding the NVR's Secret Language:
What is the meaning of these red marked letters and numbers?
iDS-7716NXI-I4/16P/16S(B)
