Hikvision DS-7108NI-Q1/8P/M – 8-Channel Mini 1U 8 PoE Network Video Recorder
The Hikvision DS-7108NI-Q1/8P/M is an 8-channel Mini 1U NVR designed for small businesses and homes that need a larger camera count without added networking gear. Specifically, it accepts up to 8 IP camera inputs at resolutions up to 6 MP, and its 8 built-in PoE ports power connected cameras directly over a single Ethernet run per channel. As a result, installers skip the cost and complexity of a separate PoE switch.
In addition, the recorder supports H.265+/H.265/H.264+/H.264 compression, which keeps storage use efficient even with all 8 channels recording. Meanwhile, a single SATA interface accepts drives up to 6 TB, giving enough capacity for continuous multi-camera recording. Furthermore, built-in line crossing and intrusion detection flag movement across defined zones or boundaries automatically. On top of that, simultaneous HDMI and VGA output lets installers connect a monitor for local live view and playback, while Hik-Connect enables remote viewing from a phone or PC over the network.

Who This NVR Suits Best
- Growing retail and office setups – the 8-channel PoE design covers multiple entrances, aisles, and stockrooms without needing a second recorder.
- Multi-camera home compounds – since PoE ports power cameras directly, homeowners cover gates, driveways, and boundary walls without running separate power cables.
- Small warehouses and workshops – 8 channels at up to 6 MP give better coverage across loading bays, storage areas, and perimeter fencing on one device.
