Hikvision DS-7604NI-K1/4P, 4G sim 4 channel PoE NVR 4K

Hikvision DS-7604NI-K1/4P/4G (C), 4-Channel PoE NVR with 4G LTE

Overview: The DS-7604NI-K1/4P/4G(C) is a compact 1U 4-channel network video recorder designed for small-to-medium installations that need simple plug-and-play PoE, optional 4G connectivity and 4K local output. It supports high-efficiency H.265/H.265+ compression and up to 8MP camera recording for crisp surveillance footage while keeping storage use efficient.

Key features

• Up to 4 IP camera inputs with 4 built-in PoE ports (IEEE 802.3af/at) — plug & play installation.
• 4G LTE support via micro SIM slot and SMA antenna interface — ideal for remote sites without wired WAN.
• High-efficiency encoding: H.265+/H.265/H.264+/H.264 to reduce bandwidth and storage.
• 4K HDMI output (single HDMI supporting 3840×2160/30Hz) for live monitoring on TVs/monitors.
• Recording & decoding: supports up to 8MP recording, and hardware decoding capacity (e.g. 1-ch @ 8MP).
• Storage: single SATA bay — supports up to 8 TB HDD (check current firmware/part limits).
• Network bandwidth: up to ~40 Mbps incoming and ~80 Mbps outgoing (model-dependent).

Technical specifications (high level)

• USB: Front 1 × USB 2.0, Rear 1 × USB 2.0
• Power input: model-specific 48 VDC (check label/spec sheet before installation)
• Operating conditions: typical Hikvision range (approx. -10 °C to 55 °C, 10–90% RH) — consult the datasheet for exact tolerances.

Why choose this NVR?

This NVR is tailored for locations where simplicity, flexible connectivity and compact size matter: small retail, kiosks, site cabins, temporary sites, RVs/boats or any remote location where wired Internet is limited. Built-in PoE removes the need for a separate switch and 4G gives an easy WAN fallback. H.265+ ensures longer retention on a single HDD without compromising image quality.

Typical use cases

• Remote or temporary installations without reliable Ethernet
• Small branch offices and retail stores (up to 4 cameras)
• Vehicle fleets, rural outbuildings or construction sites needing cellular backup
• Home or small-business owners who want 4K local display and efficient storage

What’s in the box

• DS-7604NI-K1/4P/4G(C) NVR
• Antenna module with cable (for 4G)
• Power adapter/cable (model-specific)
• Quick start guide & mounting accessories

Compatibility & integration

Works with Hikvision IP cameras (up to 8MP), Hik-Connect service for remote viewing, and integrates into third-party VMS platforms that support ONVIF/Hikvision protocols. Always confirm camera firmware versions and compatibility for advanced features (IVS, line/region detection).

Quick buying tips

• Choose cameras of appropriate resolution — 4K cameras will consume significantly more bandwidth and storage than 1080p models.
• If planning long retention, budget for a larger HDD (8 TB supported) or external NAS/iSCSI if your setup needs more than one disk.
• Confirm the exact LTE band support for your region/carrier (the datasheet lists supported bands).
