Hikvision Releases Plug-and-Play NVR Series with PoE

Hikvision is proud to unveil the DS-7700NI-SP 2U NVR series, with a unique PoE system featuring 8 independent PoE network interfaces. Also highlighting this NVR is a ‘Plug & Play’ feature that utilizes only one cable for both data and power needs -- thereby drastically reducing both time and expertise – and simplifying the overall installation process.

“Hikvision consistently strives to improve existing security surveillance solutions, as well as introduce new technology for our vertical markets,” said Keen Yao, International Marketing Director of Hikvision, “Our integrated Plug & Play system is a prime example of this philosophy -- a customized solution that provides users with ease of installation and reduced maintenance costs.”

This ‘Plug & Play’ concept is the tangible realization of Hikvision’s engineering prowess: through the simple act of plugging a cable into a network interface, the front end cameras’ IP address is automatically configured to transmit a ‘live’ view and store video at up to 5 megapixel resolution. Furthermore, redundancy in operation and backup provides recording security in the case of a system crash. If a crash does occur, this backup system immediately allows users both data protection and peace of mind.

The DS-7700NI-SP NVR series has up to 32 IP video inputs and carries simultaneous HDMI, VGA, and CVBS outputs; live view/playback via VGA and HDMI outputs at up to 1920×1080P resolution is supported as well. Additionally, this NVR processes H.264 video compression and utilizes HDD quota management in order to maximize storage space and optimize capacity assignment to different channel, equipped by 4 SATA hard disks, with 4TB storage capacity for each.

This innovative Plug & Play design allows even beginners to establish a professional surveillance network for their own specific needs. Now, business environments such as small retail/chain stores, department stores/shopping mall and other venues, are able to eliminate unwanted complexity and achieve a virtually hassle-free IP network on their own.

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
