Hikvision DS-7104NI-Q1 4-Channel 6MP NVR (No PoE) - H.265+, HDMI/VGA, Mini 1U

HIKVISION 4-Channel Mini 1U Network Video Recorder
The HIKVISION 4-Channel Mini 1U NVR is a compact network video recorder designed for small IP surveillance systems requiring reliable recording, efficient video compression and high-resolution network camera support.
Supporting up to 4 IP camera inputs with resolutions up to 6MP, the recorder provides 40Mbps incoming bandwidth and 60Mbps outgoing bandwidth. It supports H.265+, H.265, H.264+ and H.264 video compression, helping optimise network bandwidth and available storage space while maintaining high-quality surveillance recordings.
The NVR provides 4-channel synchronous playback, decoding of up to four 1080p channels, and simultaneous HDMI and VGA output. A single internal SATA interface supports a surveillance hard drive with a capacity of up to 6TB.
With its compact Mini 1U chassis measuring only 200 × 200 × 48mm, the recorder is ideal for homes, offices, retail stores and smaller commercial CCTV installations.
Important: This is the standard non-PoE version. It does not have built-in PoE camera ports.

Non-PoE NVR
This particular model is the standard non-PoE version and does not include integrated PoE camera ports.
When using PoE network cameras, a compatible external PoE switch or other suitable PoE power source will therefore be required.
This is an important distinction from the 4-channel Mini 4-PoE NVR version, which has four integrated PoE interfaces.
