Hikvision iDS-7208HTHI-M2/XT(STD)/4A+8/4ALM 8-Channel AcuSense Hybrid DVR

Managing a hybrid surveillance system with both analog and IP cameras often means juggling separate recorders and missing critical events. The Hikvision iDS-7208HTHI-M2/XT(STD)/4A+8/4ALM solves this by combining 8 analog and 8 IP channels in one unit, with AcuSense technology to focus on real threats.

Who is it for
