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.
